    Basically tabloid. Jeff?

    No one is safe from the barbs of his comedy.

    Abba? You go G Gordon Liddy!

  4. Although they’re not my favorites from that era, I refuse to regard them as the pop anti-christs, either. I’ll take ’em over the stupid post-80s metal, with the transmission-going-bad guitars and the Cookie Monster vocals, anyday.

    Is the person on the right of the photograph fingering a fuse box?

    “cookie monster vocals”

    Well there’s another kids today fusion that irked a laugh out of my geezer hide.

    Wierd, wacky stuff – a blend of OMD synth pop and imitation breathy John Mayer congenial love-croon.

    The music cued angsty girl-won’t-have-me pain, or yeah-I-used-her guilt, but it was all well-adjusted and cheerful and ice-cream headache causing.

    It played in a little coffee shop near my husbands office, and my husband said I was tilting my head like a collie who hears a funny noise.

    The guy on the left? His pants seem to be giving him a physical.

    shit

  10. McGehee says:

    Damn. I mean, that piece looks like something I could have written.

    The horror, the horror…

    It’s called a brain freeze.

    And I met many naughty, naughty girls who would do brain freezes when ABBA was on the old stereo.

    Hey, murf–
    Just checked out your site. Not going to link. A word that describes it well is “poverty.”

    urban dictionary defines murf as the sweaty, hairy, smelly region between the scrotum and anus!

    I’m guessing Murf would call it his chinrest.

    ABBA took palindromes to the next level! The way they reversed the first “B” was pure genius. So you could look at it in a mirror, or from the other side of a sheet of paper, and its exactly the same.

    AHA! was on the right track, but then messed messed up all symmetry with that stupid exclamation point. Kinda explains why they were a OHW.

  16. Ouroboros says:

    So what’s next, a send up of The Partridge Family? A Parody of The Bugaloos? The Brady Six? The Banana Splits?

  17. Silver Whistle says:

    “Cookie monster vocals”. Hence this tune

  18. SevenEleventy says:

    I’m still waiting for the sequel to Head.

  19. Silver Whistle says:

    I’m still waiting for the sequel to Head.

    How could you send up that?

  20. Ouroboros says:

    Dont hold your breath Seven.. Head would translate to the 21st century about as well as Decline of Western Civilization III: The Gutter Punks did…
