@Flick – nobody called this an exclusive but you, jackass. Your nonsense is a better fit for the messageboards you came from. Doesn’t translate here. p.s. We trashed the Paramore album. Get a clue.

Play that funky music, white boy! Anything that makes me shake it while in a seated position is a score. And ironically, yet unfortunately I was just having a conversation about “Play That Funky Music” being Vanilla Ice’s only other musical claim to “fame”.

Vanilla Ice covered “Play that Funky Music”? I musta blocked that one out. :)
