Man, That Shit Takes Me WAY Back**update**

I found the video. Woot!! I'll cut youtube some slack this ONE time!!


-----------------------------------------
Ok, so I'm bored here at work and waiting for emails to come in. I start reading this Entertainment Weekly article about the Best High School Movies that were left off the previous list from like last week or something. I spot THIS movie. One of my all-time favorite movies. I have the soundtrack in my house somewhere. Two fave songs off that thing...Kick Out the Jams...

Kick out the jams motherfuckers!
Yeah! I, I, I, I, I'm gonna
I'm gonna kick 'em out ! Yeah !


How can you not like a song that starts that way?!?

And that wicked haunting version of Everybody Knows by Concrete Blonde...

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight is fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows that the boat is sinking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody's got this broken feeling
Like their momma or their dog just died
Everybody's hands are in their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows


I don't know why that song has always appealed to me, but it still makes me squirmy and takes me back to a time when life was way less complicated, but in my twenty-something mind, was beyond reason.

This melancholy moment was brought to you by Popeye Spinach and Prozac. We now join our regularly scheduled programming.

Pump up the Volume was indeed a classic ... There are a lot of great flicks on EW's list, but how the heck did "Breakfast Club" end up at No. 1? My favorite would have to be the just wickedly funny "Election"
