Yeah, that's gotta be the context for this because he also mentions Superman in that verse from Bicycle Race, and he rode around on Superman's shoulders, too.

All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies - specifically, single ladies over the legal drinking age of 21 who know what it's like to go to a club regularly and run into ex-boyfriends…
42 for me. Long enough to spot some shots with a fish-eye lens, though. Let's get bulbous.
And if you are a creep, keep it on the down loooow.
Easy. Laurie Anderson's song "O Superman" with accompanying video. I'm not even going to try to explain it. Just watch it and figure it out for yourself.
Yeah, looking at the lyrics just now, apart from the line about 'hollerin", most of the complaints are just about the guy being broke. Which is a little shallow, frankly. (Just as shallow as, say, being asked if you like TLC and immediately talking about how gorgeous you think Chilli is.)
Yeah. It was called "No Pigeons" and, if I remember correctly, it was horrible.
I noticed when TMBGs covered "Bills, Bills, Bills", John Flansburgh seems to have changed the word "scrub" to "squirrel". So… I guess what I'm saying is we can all mark down The A.V. Club in 2015 as the place where the word "scrub" became hate speech.
This story was always so strange to me because of how mundane and plausible it always was. We knew Atari had overproduced those carts. They had to dump 'em somewhere. Why did this ever rise to the level of urban legend?
"Man, if I was ten years younger, I would love this show so much, but I have critical issues with {fill in the blank}."
Yeah. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Been meaning to start watching it one of these days.
It resonated with me more in those days, when the Iraq War was turning into a clusterfuck. Just some way of saying, "Hey, I care about things, but I'm not interested in killing anyone, ok!"
Saw these guys at ACL Fest right around the time the record released. Had never heard them before, but was fairly impressed, though Brandon Flowers did seem like he had some Liza Minelli DNA in him, like he might burst into a new wave version of Cabaret at any moment. There was definitely something square and…
Counterpoint: Nevermind is front-loaded with singles and yet it's got an impeccable track order. Three singles and then, boom, you get the punk blast of Breed and then the slower moving Lithium and Polly to round out Side A. When you get to the back half, there's no question that you're hearing weaker songs, but…
Oliver Wendell Jones?
Watched Cool World for the first time since it was in the theater and I was a young teen. Since then I've come to appreciate Ralph Bakshi and hoped I'd find this one a little more palatable on second go 'round.
Really, though, the best Beatles album for kids is "1". Just good time hit after good time hit.
Spice Up Your Life by the Spice Girls?
I'm almost positive that's what she was hinting at. But I didn't understand the subtleties of raw doggin' back then.
Here's my AIDS scare story: So when I was a virginal little freshman in high school, around the time this video was made, I found myself at a party doing a Ouija board with an older girl who'd, uh, let's say expressed a little sexual interest in your boy. And the girl kept asking questions to the Ouija board about…
