Oh the memories! Awesome, fun post! Can’t wait to share it with my teenager!
Thank you Dave
Brings back elementary memories, thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome
I really enjoy your hip hop posts. I hope there’s more to come. Thank you.
All week, enjoy
Richie is rapping it up for me so far…3 out of 3! Let’s see if you can continue your winning streak with me!
Thanks!
Glad you are enjoying the hippity hop
Am I the only one who fails to get the FLAC versin of this? It keeps breaking of when downloading it.
Thanks for the share anyway Richie.
A classic song – thanks!
I heard this song for the first time in years…sort of…on a recent rerun of Parks and Recreation. The brilliant Amy Poehler launches into this song when her boss comes into her office and says, “Okay, here’s the situation”.
She then breaks into the rest of the 3rd verse section, acapella, for about a minute. Good stuff.
Thanks Richie. These songs were not that big in Oz.
