Nothing in the real world prompted me to listen to these songs. In fact, I’m in a pretty good mood.

“Untouchable Face”

“Kiss Off”

“Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”

Wing

Shakira

I’m at a loss either way. If you search around for Wing you’ll see that she also covers “In The Ghetto” and “Dancing Queen” which is, you know, funny.

Um, like, holy crap. Why haven’t I seen this before?

Heavy Metal Parking Lot

Filmbaby

HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT is considered one of the greatest rock & roll movies of all time, although it’s actually a hilarious documentary tribute to rock & roll’s GREATEST FANS. Filmed in 1986 at a Maryland concert arena parking lot before a heavy metal show, HMPL is an unvarnished anthropological study of American metalheads in their mid-’80s glory. It is the quintessential ’80s magnum opus, made complete with a vast display of muscle cars, spandex, bleach-blonde frizzy perms, bare-chested dudes, Mullets From Hell, faded denim metal chicks, and the largest collection of late ’70s Camaros ever seen in one location. Virtually unknown to mainstream audiences for two decades, HMPL was a VHS bootleg favorite among musicians, movie stars and cult-video fanatics worldwide. This limited-edition DVD features a pristine digital-video transfer of the original uncut 16-minute documentary, plus over two hours of exclusive content! Extra content includes sequels, parking lot alumni interviews, karaoke subtitles, Dub-O-Vision and more. Viewer discretion: explicit language, drug references and loud music.

Conclusion I support: You may think you’re being with it and groovy, but snorting ectoplasm can have dangerous consequences.
