1. I don’t get it. I must be too young.

2. Oh, the kids these days.

   21st century equivalent: Mashing Kelli Clarkson with Interpol.

3. AAUGUUGHHHH MY BRAIN!!!!!!!!

4. Ow. Just ow.

5. That takes me back to my sophmore year of HS. When (*hottie*) Terri M. had a crush on me but I was such a geek as to have no clue. And even if I knew, I wouldn’t have known how to seal the deal, if you know what I mean.

14. I’m not totally sure why, but I think my reaction to this is the same as if I heard a Nitzer Ebb cover by Alvin and the Chipmunks.

15. This may revive Belinda Carlisle’s career! I dunno, it brings back a lot of nice memories, so I’ll give it a ’75’. It does have a wicked beat and you can still dance to it.

16. Oh yeah? Try this one.
