When you drive, I can't relax, got your license from cracker jacks

You know what I could never get into, cracker jacks. I dunno, I guess I'm just not too keen caramel coated popcorn. I like my popcorn like my women- covered in hot butter! Ha, I keed, I keed! I think I'm like having a manic episode right now, since I thought that last sentence was so frackin funny! And is it "fracking" or "frakking"? I've always spelt it the latter way.

Anyhoo, its been a quiet night, so I've been watching videos on youtube. I forgot another great song for karaoke-ing: "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals. I mean, its awesome because you don't even have to know the words, that lead singer dude (who played Xavier St. Cloud on Highlander, and weird, Roger Daltrey played a recurring immortal character also, like what's with all the frontmen? Though I guess two is not a lot. Sorry, I'm babbling now, so I digress) was almost indecipherable anyways, so you can just make a bunch of funny noises and no one would notice the difference. Actually, I seem to remember back in the days when I used to drink, this song came on during some party and hopping on the table and singing along just like that. What the hell was wrong with me back then? Though I guess that's actually fine compared to getting plastered at the parentals' 25th and hopping on one of the tables pretending to surf when "Wipe Out" came on. (And wait, why the hell was that song playing at a wedding anniversary?) Thankfully, being a good Catholic wedding celebration, everyone was nicely toasted anyways so I don't think people really noticed me. But I digress yet again.

Which kinda brings me to another cool thing about the song, besides being an awesome song to karaoke or sing along to, its also cool for a little air guitar! Just like Boston's "More Than a Feeling"! You can't not air guitar when singing along to those songs! Its like not doing the robot when hearing Styx's "Mr Roboto"! Ooh, new idea for a poll:

[Poll #945655]

Anyways, Angel is on right now, its the ep where Fred's parents first show up after she gets back from Pylea. Her dad is of course played by the Bullit, who was also the father of Leonardo DiCaprio's character on Growing Pains. Strangely enough, on Growing Pains, I seem to remember the Bullit having fathered a whole bunch of kids also. Anyhoo, I only mention this ep because I could've sworn he once referred to Fred as "Peanut" in one of the few eps of Angel he was on, but I can't find any evidence of the sort. I guess its limited that nickname's limited to mini-Coop (though both are skinny 5'7" brunettes)

Poor air bass gets no respect. :( Not that it could compete with air guitar, but still...

I was considering putting in air bass, but isn't it really just air guitar with less dramatic movement?

Eh...you wouldn't use chords or strum on a bass. There's a difference, but it's subtle.
