A dental-based parody of a U2 song... both that and your Mom’s reaction is hilarious.

We had the Adam Sandler comedy album lying around at one point and I decided to give it a listen when I was 10. I was somewhat shocked by the language at times, but I doubt my parents would have cared too much by that point.

We had one of those Zindel books for our English classes during freshman year. Just two teens making out is the saltiest thing I can remember from it. Maybe?

I saw the regular cover in my sister’s cassette collection when I was 5 or so and thought “Oh wow, this must be a really rough band!” or whatever my language equivalent was at the time.

My best friend moved to our town the summer before he was a freshman in high school. He had a Backstreet Boys single packed in one of his boxes on the move up when his Dad had to stop the carand look for something. On a country road in the middle of nowhere, he searched one of the boxes and grabbed the CD out of one,…

I think it took less than half a year before I was allowed to go 30+ miles from home.

My parents let me watch Batman Returns all I wanted when I was 7 or whatever age I was. A tad darker than the original, yes. But I still think it holds up, personally.

One of my best friends likes to tell us about how he got to watch Full Metal Jacket with his late father when he was just 6 or 7. Apparently Kubrick was what they watched in there while my family was more into the Lucas/Spielberg direction of entertainment.

My parents were fairly lax to us during my childhood in terms of that. We went to be at 10 pm, they watched Lethal Weapon 3 with us at my second grade birthday party, that sort of thing. Occasionally, they’d tell me to close my eyes for any supergraphic or nude scenes in movies, but that was pretty much it.

This whole “Paramount Channel” thing is still throwing me off. CMT, Spike or whatever just comes off the tongue so much better.

I was about to say this sounds like John Carter meets Glory, but then I looked up the plot to John Carter and found out it sort of involved a Confederate guy anyway. So yeah... obviously, I’m part of the 99.8 percent who hasn’t seen it either!

I think most people are fine with the phone or camera ratio as opposed to watching the show (myself included). But for the life of me, I can’t understand the people who almost literally record the whole show. To me, even without the artist being considered, I don’t see why you’d waste your money just watching a show…

Okay, I laughed.

I don’t really do live streams, although it can be an interesting way to view a show if you’re at home. I can’t imagine being “that guy” though and holding it up for 15-20+ minutes on end. To me, that kills the experience more than taking a quick pic or two, then putting the camera down for a few minutes.

I do take pics and the occasional video at a show, but I go out of my way to make sure it never consumes me or my experience. On top of that, I usually use a pretty good digital camera, so it’s not just crappy cell phone pics with too much lens flare or whatever. I’ve also put a lot of those online and it seems like…

According to the Rolling Stone article, the song was built around a demo Shaggy had originally done with the chorus included. So yeah... maybe you’ll have better luck with the other songs they wrote together after they finished this one.

My head’s bopping along as I’m listening to the clip, which must mean I’m digging it a bit.

I caught Dweezil Zappa and Lisa Loeb co-headlining a tour one time when they were dating. I don’t think anything will top seeing 40-60 year old biker men surrounding a delighted eight-year-old girl at the rail.

Not “no”... “personal.”

Those few times I saw my parents’ cat snuggling next to their dog outside in the snow over the years must’ve been glitches in the Matrix then.
