Wop-bop-a-loo-bop, a-good for you!
Jun. 14th, 2006 10:20 amOkay, I'm at work and all that, yes....
On my way in this morning though, they had Sledgehammer on the radio, which made me giggle way too much. I was going to mention it in here, but it'd be a joke that probably only my family would get. See, there are big gaps in my 80's music knowledge because I listened to oldies and then promptly switched to mid-90's stuff. So I know Sledgehammer best from this show that used to be at Epcot called "Food Rocks." It was a fairly low-budget (for Disney) "rock concert" about nutrition. With well-known songs that have had most of their lyrics changed to be about various food groups. Nearly all of which were sung by the original artists. Seriously. It went over like a lead balloon. I don't think the theater was ever full.
My family loved it. We went to it every time we went to Epcot. But given that my family seem to be the only ones who went to it, I figured nobody else would get it.
And then I found the full lyrics. (Bonus: the next song is sung to the tune of "Wild Thing". No, not that one.)
And pictures of the different groups (including "Pita Gabriel").
I hope you can see why I was so giggly.
