It ain't that bad.

Not like you're claiming that your favorite song EVAR is Starship's "We Built This City" or something of that ilk.

Right?

Right?

RIGHT?

Starship's "We Built This City" makes me smile for the wrong reasons.

A third of those reasons is Homer Simpson.

Hey, don't dis on "We Built This City," bitches.

And while I will cluck my tongue at some of your choices-- CeCe Peniston? Paula Fucking Abdul?!?-- I will say that the best times I had out dancing (largely at frats, during my overlong stay at Dartmouth) were in the early 90's, to most of the sort of songs you mention, and I have a similar soft spot in my heart for many of them. Rock, rock on.

Oh, and that's Culture Beat, not Culture Club. HUGE difference. :)

Yes yes, Beat, Club, my bad.

Seriously, though, listen to the bass line in Paula Abdul's "Straight Up". And the goofy synth runs they throw in at the end of the song. That is so very, very early Sonic. If we could remove the primitive gibbering she considers to be her singing, the remaining instrumental would easily be split up and used for parts to make an entire new soundtrack for a Sonic Advance game.

...yeah, TS would probably be that much better with some more Jerry-centric stuff. In fact, I believe the new season's supposed to give us some.

I'd test this Sonic music theory of yours, but I am so very afraid to start listening to Paula music again. -_-

..."Again"? jameshoward September 6 2004, 11:09:48 UTC
Cough.

Anyway, I don't think I've ever heard anything else of hers besides Straight Up, so for all I know it all sounds like Sonic music. Maybe I can circumvent actually listening to her if I find some MIDI files, or something.

And oh God yes would more Jerry rule. I think there should be a solid half-hour episode of just nothing but Jerry running down the sides of buildings, incapacitating baddies with one kick, inventing new gadgets and using them like two seconds later to bust himself out of trouble, disarming traps, taking down helicopters singlehandedly, and generally just tearing up the place as much as one possibly can in a twenty-two minute time frame. You know the two minutes of Yoda fighting that we got in Star Wars Episode II? I would want it to be exactly like that. Would that ever, ever rule.
