This ceaseless nerd self-examination is making me long for the days of stand up bits about airplane food and "here's my impression of Celebrity X singing a song by Musician Y".

Let's all hope this paves the way for a Glee version of Dynamite Hack's cover of "Boyz 'n the Hood" or that bluegrass "Gin 'n' Juice" cover that always got credited to Phish during the heyday of Napster.

My older sisters took me to see this in the theater.  I was 12.  Lots of things about it blew my mind (including the Samantha Mathis sweater scene), but for some reason a few of the musical cues really stuck with me.  A Beastie Boys song bragging about crack use? Some crazy track I couldn't place with a guy happily…

She's one of the preeminent examples of a celebrity who achieved a moderate amount of fame initially through performance, then leveraged that into being a professional famous person who sells (a shockingly lucrative amount of) stuff based largely on her famousness.  But to your point, we're well past anyone even…

I made sure the DJ played it at mine. No idea how it went over with most of the guests but my friends and I went nuts.

Man, I hope Gervais goes into Golden Globes host mode and sticks it to the Muppets. Looking forward to piercing truth-telling like Statler and Waldorf are old, Miss Piggy is fat, Kermit hasn't had a hit since "Rainbow Connection."  Really let 'em have it.

Fatboy Slim played this track pretty frequently in his '90s sets, which should provide sufficient evidence in and of itself that big beat is unfairly derided.
