Tommy Tutone is Gonna Be Pissed



So you're looking for some comedy, huh? Do you want to laugh out loud (or should I say LOL)? Well I have the show for you.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the funniest show on TV. There is no question about this.

So today, for the record I have been watching parts of episodes of "Always Sunny" all day. Seriously, YouTube has been open since about 9:45 this morning. It helps me through the work day, to put it simply. I owe my good friend Amanda Hauser for introducing me to this masterpiece on TV. I don't know if my life will ever be the same. Honestly. So the third season of the show is starting back up on September 13th. It's gonna be good stuff. There isn't much more to say about the show without watching some hilarious clips. Go here or here or even here. Thank me later.





The man pictured is Tommy Tutone. Not sure if that's his legal name, but whatever. Funny thing about Tommy -- I have actually seen him perform "Jenny (867-5309)" live. True story. I was at a Roger Clyne concert here in Portland, and Tommy just jumped up on the stage (wearing those same exact sunglasses no less) out of the crowd and sang it for us. Guess he lives here in Portland. Crazy stuff. Oh real quick story -- at the concert, me and my buddy were standing towards the front. He came up behind us with a chick that had to be half his age. Not bad Tommy, not bad at all. He can still pull some tail apparently. But sadly, he was actually one of those annoying people that gently nudge their way to the front. You know the guy. "Excuse me while I take this piece of floor directly in front of you. Oh and do you mind if I spill beer all over your feet too? Thanks man." I cannot stand the guy that does this. So I am am pretty sure I gave Tommy Tutone the stink eye as he passed me by. But how was I supposed to know it was him, right?

So you know how I told you he'd be pissed? Well here is why. I was listening to ESPN radio today, wishing Dan Patrick was still on the air. And they played the new single from Bruce Springsteen to lead into the show after a commercial break. Not even kidding, it was the same exact guitar riff as the one in "Jenny."

Now I love Springsteen, I mean he's The Boss...you just gotta love him. He's All-American. But he totally ripped off Tommy Tutone. There is no way around it. It's true. Just remember you heard it here first. (Well unless you listened to the show today on ESPN radio and heard Michelle Tafoya point it out first, but those are minor details.) So go and listen to "Jenny" and then listen to Springsteen's new single called "Radio Nowhere." They are the same.




So Faith Hill is pretty much the most perfect woman and/or wife alive. Now I have always believed this since I was a little boy. There is no denying this fact, and I doubt any of you dudes out there would disagree with me. But here are just a few reasons why she is the perfect woman/wife:
  1. She is smokin hot.
  2. She actually enjoys watching football.
  3. Uhhhh she is really smokin hot.
  4. She's had three kids and is still....uhhhh really really smokin hot.
  5. Oh yeah, she sings a little bit too.
  6. At least 2 of her songs are about makin love. Awesome.

So anyway, I just caught glimpse of some great news via Yahoo. Here are the important parts of the story and the only part you need to know.

"I truly am a football fan. Particularly, men find it hard to believe that women can be big fans of football, but I love it. I loved it in junior high and high school, but being married to a man who schedules his life around football games, it makes it a lot easier..."

"Around our house in football season there's a big routine," says Hill, 39, who has three daughters with McGraw. "Dinner has to be planned out around the game, homework has to be finished. It's an all-gather-around the television time."

I think those are the most beautiful words I've ever heard a woman speak.
