Remember how, back in 1989, I transferred from NTHS to THS and it was a big sordid deal because the schools are huge rivals? And remember how Brian and Doug made fun of me for leaving NTHS for TimberSLIME?
Well, this proves I made the right decision. (So what that it's, like, 20 years later. Back then we had GREASE. In 2010, they have a flash mob of "Don't Stop Believing." It translates to the same thing...
That's right, all you haters. Timberline is MASS cool!
This is Exhibit A in proof of your THS supremacy theory? I know Glee has given this song new cultural currency, but I think it's actually only considered cool when sung by supposedly geeky but actually predominantly super hot teen acting adults with killer pipes and moves and a liberal dose of auto-tune. Add in an inexplicably limitless public school budget for lighting tech, costuming and back up musicians, and you have the parallel universe where this song is cool again. In real life, when danced in a LINE dance by people who were jamming to this song during its first life, it's more like a somewhat desperate plea for cool-cred with students who will make their lives a living hell for the next four years. But yeah, NTHS is probably not even making the effort.
ReplyDelete"This is Exhibit A in proof of your THS supremacy theory?" Obviously not solid proof, right? Soooooo, (admittedly) I was not really capable of irony in 1989, but maybe it's possible I am now? It's like rain on your "running" day, after all...
ReplyDeleteYou have to admit the Glee arrangement of this song is totally rad!
I was really looking forward to a comment from you since the return of 80s angst (I posted NEVER, after all)...Whodathunk THIS is the post that would bring you and Doug out to play again. [Insert evil laugh here].
