‎10,000 years in the future, when the alien anthropologists touch down on the cratered, desolate surface of the earth, we can only hope that our robot overlords will have saved a copy of this in an indestructible cube as a testament to the heights that human civilization once reached. Seriously, the best shit ever. (discovered via Sofia).

Just realized that Daryl Hall looks kind of like a healthier Tom Verlaine in this period (you know, before his flattened out late 70s dweeb style ‘do metastasized into his leonine mid-80s mane). Also, this version of the song kicks the recorded one’s ass. 

"i'm the king of the beat in the great northwest"

It's always a weird experience when you realize that the hook of a song you’re used to is lifted wholesale from an earlier song you’d never heard - not that that necessarily makes the newer song worse or anything. In this case, the pussycat dolls’ lusher production and cee-lo backing vocals lose out to mix-a-lot’s sparse beats, bleepy synths, and the invention of the excellent word ‘swass’. In addition, though i’m willing to listen to pretty much any trash, fuck the pussycat dolls.
