Great cover but this is still the Pointer Sister's best 70s jam.

Might be the first song I ever remember liking. I'd look forward to it playing. Certainly the song I loved for the longest time. I played it twice today. I'm still amazed they created such a funky song with changing time signatures, and kids ate it up.

You betcha! One of the great things about Sesame Street generally, like the muppets, Mr. Rogers and other such things, is that they didn't underestimate the capacities of kids. I lived for the moments this would come on. Let's be honest I still live for it:

Eliahad is my hero!

I've been watching this post since last night and biding my time. I had a whole plan. Then all our printers decided to go sideways at once and I totally forgot.

Thank you, E, for covering our collective butt on this.

Swear to Sedna, while I was posting I thought I'd missed it. I'm so happy I could keep it going.

Via wikipedia
It is perhaps notable that the video for "Cars" depicts no images of actual cars.
I was worried I was feeling the Mandela Effect, but it seems I was thinking of this version with Gary Newman and cars.



"Perhaps notable" gotta love wikipedia... 10/10

random thought of the day: instead of looking like clones of Merlin/Gandalf, wizards should look like rock stars, preferably glam rock.

Along those lines, I think wizards should look like drag queens. Look at these wizards:

LOOK AT THEM!

That works.
Imagine being so powerful that you no longer really consider yourself human so the opinions of mere mortals have no value to you. Then what would you wear? There might be a contingent that never leave their bathrobes, like Merlin. But others would go flashy to advertise their superiority.

I aim to strike so much fear and awe that I go everywhere in sweat pants and tee shirts and no one says a thing.

I think mega powerful wizards are still trying to impress each other. And when you can wield otherworldly powers, you have to be as flashy and grandiose as possible. Thus, glam rockers or drag queens.

BOOM! If you're a little old lady add a cardigan and nobody suspects until it's TOO LATE.

Why would I have to be a lady? Or old? Or little?

I think we can get this trend started!

I have a cardigan, except it has a zipper, that I got from Goodwill. I suspect the original owner died as it is so comfortable that I can't imagine someone giving it up while they're alive.

Nowadays that song is called Say so by Doja cat. I liked it better the first time, which is to say not much at all.
