The Crash Test Dummies are so goddamn weird, and I will forever love them for it.

When Lou Reed died in 2013, people confused him with Lou Bega, who had to publicly announce that no, he wasn't dead. Mambo Number 5 saw a brief resurgence in the charts.

A while back, I found a Hardees "Rise and Shine Homemade Biscuit Mug" at a thrift store for 50 cents, and I regret not getting it.
