1986 Rewind .... Oh Yeaaaaaah

Tonight I made a particularly favorite meal of my son's, and when he put down his fork he said "oh yeaaaaaaah."

I of course responded by loudly whispering "chick-chick-it-chick-it-ahhhhhh" in reference to the song by the band Yellow from the classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

He looked at me with a puzzled expression somewhere between I had lost my mind and "wow that was funky, daddy-o."

Leap back to the mid-1980's and listen to one of the zillions of snippets from the song available on YouTube. This one is particularly amusing because of the bizarre imagery.

Ferris: I do have a test today. That wasn't bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who cares if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
