I was planning on writing this melancholy post about how life hasn't turned out the way I expected and how depressing shit is and blah blah blah. But I have a raging headache, my hair is wet, and I have a fuckton of school work due by Monday. So instead I'll just post this.

My personal favorite Simpsons song. Not the best they ever did (I think "Talkin Softball," "See My Vest," "Canyonero," and "We Do" are ahead of this) but it's top five. And it always make me teary eyed. Fox showed "Stark Raving Dad" (which is the episode this song is a part of) the Sunday after Michael Jackson's death and I started bawling. And I don't cry. Really.

(FYI-MJ didn't sing in the actual episode. He did the voice work and is credited as John Jay Smith, but because of a contract he had with Sony at the time that said he couldn't sing outside of pop albums/tours, it's actually an impersonator doing the singing in the episode.  MJ did write the song and recorded a version, which is this, and it was released in a collector's album type thing in the early 2000s.)

So for my 26th year on this Earth I give you one of the sweetest moments in Simpsons history.

Also-tonight is Michigan's first night game ever. Against one of our biggest rivals. Go Blue.

birthday
