It was a confusing time for me) 2) The song was released in 1987, and 3) it reached the top 20 in the United States. Check Wikipedia, and find out that a) Men Without Hats was Canadian (Sometimes I confused them with Men at Work and assumed they were Australian, sometimes I got confused by the folk imagery of the "Safety Dance" video and assumed they were from England. Yup, that's the song, and that's the "Safety Dance" dude. So, today I'm reading a post from Willfully Obscure, and it mentions that it was a Men Without Hats cover? Check YouTube. Figured it was some obscure ditty from the 70's. I knew it was a cover, but I didn't know the the original. It was the Apocalypse Hoboken version from the 1999 album Inverse, Reverse, Perverse album.
The first time I heard the song "Pop Goes The World" was in 1998.

Was that a thing? That wasn't a thing, right? Unless you were a member of the Atlanta Hawks in the middle of a game or were Sammy Hagar, there's no way I would have ever seen someone with red Reeboks (or any other athletic shoe) and thought, "That dude? Yeah, he's lookin' pretty cool". My hair is long I got my red Reeboks on Oh yeah, I'm lookin' pretty cool And within that filet there is a sub-filet, a lyric that stopped me cold and demanded immediate blogging: Contagious (1987) has ridiculous lyrics throughout, but one song is just the filet of ridiculous lyrics: "The Kid Goes Crazy". Sometimes I will revisit some of the albums that shaped my small-town metal youth. But even among those low standards, sometimes I come across something that makes me go to sing365 and verify that the stupidity I just heard was correct.

The character of "Steven Colbert" may be the greatest piece of satire there has ever been. He was the perfect choice and I was elated when it was announced.
I do look forward to him taking over The Late Show. Both will be missed, but not for long in Colbert's case. Waking my wife up with my lol'ing over the past few years had two root causes - Steven Colbert and Kenny Fucking Powers. Colbert helped get me through it, and for that I am thankful. The difference being while the Letterman years were mired in sadness (death, death, and more death), the Colbert years have been marked by a whole different type of instability - the positive kind (finding a career path, getting married, having a kid, buying a house). But for the last nine years, Steven Colbert has been my therapy. I've written before how David Letterman was basically my therapy during my teens and twenties, being nearly the sole constant source of happiness and stability during a decade of unhappiness and instability. I'm actually proud I made it halfway through the show before breaking down. So, I'm drying my eyes right now, having just watched the last episode of The Colbert Report.
