Martha Quinn sighting

She has a weekend show on Sirius Channel 8 on Saturdays. I predict Steve-O will suddenly see the need for satellite radio at Stately LLama Manor. That sound you hear is Steve's panting at the thought of Martha in those little denim overalls.

YIPS from Steve-O: Speaking of early MTV and lil' denim overalls...

I would add to the annual Beloit College "Those Durn Kids" column that today's entering college freshman have never known an MTV that, erm, plays videos all day.

Here's the still that stilled a thousand hearts, back when the world wide web tubes were used for promulgation of scientific knowledge, and not distribution of high-quality Belgian porn:

Fortunately, this song peaked at around the same time as this one did, for, you know, the more subtle minded high school boy bent on the unsophisticated hallway taunt.

Of course, growing up in a predominantly Catholic town in S.E. New England, I knew an inordinate amount of Eileen's in High School (equalled only by the population of Sheilas). It's a legitimate question to ask from a research angle how many boats and resort homes head shrinkers, makers of anti-depressives, and bottlers of wine coolers were able to make off of the psychic damage done by this one song. Come on, Eileen a loo la ray......

Which, of course, led to the joke: "What is worse than sweat on Olivia Newton-John? . . ."

Of course you could always go with the real Dexy's., back before Kevin Rowland went crazy and lost one of the best horn sections ever.

The horns went on to record "Punch The Clock" with Elvis Costello as the TKO horns.

Ah yes, but still a good song. It's the only one (besides "TNT") that gets us off our arses at class reunions.

Good times.....gooooooood times....
