My name is spelled with one "n." Just throwing that out there = )

And I love that Love Shack song. It's the greatest...along with that one song that goes:

"...and i raaan, I ran so far awayyyy."

I don't know the name of it...but I know it's by Flock of Seagulls or something like that.

It's good stuff.

Enough of this nonsense (none / 0)
First off, Ana is not a child. If she was we wouldn't have so many TYT members attracted to her (we'll leave the child stuff to the Republican sites).

Secondly (is that a word?), Roam is their best song. Plus it's not as cheesy and played out as Love Shack.

you're not responding to me. 

But you're right, "Roam" is a great song (and I don't even really like the B-52s).

This is college music from the late 90s and 2000s.  I'm sure it's all fine but definitely not something the 30+ crowd should feel bad about not knowing.

to listen to good music, sir.

Hell, Brian Williams is in his 50s and goes on about how much he likes the Decemberists.
