You Can't Touch This

My son will not put up with The Hills. (And, probably, I should not be subjecting him to that crap anyway. Honestly, even I can't stomach this season.) So when he switched channels to Glee, I didn't object.

Insert new Glee rant here:

This week's episode was about rehabilitating bad songs to make them good again, including Ice Ice Baby and Total Eclipse of the Heart. AH, EXCUSE ME. Those are and always have been supremely most excellent songs. If you were not driving around campus in your friend's 5.0 with the top down so your hair could blow WHILE listening to Vanilla Ice then you, my friend, were not doing university properly. (Margaritas may have been involved.)

Also, did you know that Meatloaf wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart. It's so obvious now that you know, right? Only the man who brought you "But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box" could also bring you "We're living in a powder keg and giving off a spark."

Oh Glee Glee Glee, first Journey now Vanilla Ice and Bonnie Tyler. Some things you just can't touch. (Which reminds me, they also included You Can't Touch This in this last episode. Another classic.) And what's with that dark haired virginal chick. She seems like the type that wants to discuss maxi pads with you.
