You saw the video when you were 7 and you're ancient?  What am I then?  I got "Girlfriend" from a friend as a wedding gift IN NINETEEN NINETY TWO.  I've been married a year longer than Mr. Sweet to my soulmate who loved this CD too.  It actually was given to us at our picnic wedding shower at a forest preserve outside

A running gag I have from 1986 to the present is to walk into a friend's/neighbor's/sibling's party and, when there's a pause in the music, say: "Hey, do you have any Huey Lewis? Sports, maybe?" The reactions—running the gamut from revulsion and anger to longing and anticipation—entertain me to this day.

Called the Badger Herald the Daily Herald above. God, I've turned into a bit of a boring old suburban LTM-impaired douche, haven't I….
