Like one that I'll mention right now, in "1985" by Bowling For Soup, they have a reference which only people who are into more Retro music would get. Things that are around 30 years old, at one point it throws out a "Video Killed The Radio Star" reference. I've never heard this song other than from the music video, so I don't know if it's a special for the video or not. But "Video Killed The Radio Star" was the very first music video on MTV.<br /><br />And like it says in the song, "Whatever happened to music on MTV?"<br /><br />And I'm getting sick of everyone assuming the band is gay JUST because they did a song called "I'm Gay", if you knew anything at all the original term for "gay" is "Happy". There's even an old 40's song(I think it was 40's, may have been 50's or 60's, but I very highly doubt 60's.) that said "I'm happy, I'm so very very happy and gay". Gay never meant homosexual until more recently, I'm not sure of the year that it started meaning that. These guys are only for people who are a bit nostalgic, people who like to look back to the past. If you don't like anything more than 10 years old, you're going to hate this band for a lot of things that you find to be stupid or immature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-91482904200683235702009-10-19T12:31:02.197-05:002009-10-19T12:31:02.197-05:00Yeah the ugly and not really embarrassed about it ...Yeah the ugly and not really embarrassed about it shtick is kind of a plus what with so many mall-punk bands being stocked with tattooed cutie-boys.jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-88032423766494381082009-10-18T16:07:24.532-05:002009-10-18T16:07:24.532-05:00Bloody hell, that cover is going to give me nightm...Bloody hell, that cover is going to give me nightmares!<br /><br />I heard song by these guys once which I liked.
