Christmas is one of the only occasions that will forever link new generations to old pop culture. Children for the next hundred years will grow up knowing Eartha Kitt wanted to seduce and rob Santa.

When the flight attendant offers “pretzels” and it turns out to be a snack mix with rye chips and garlic bread bites — there’s much more joy here than you’re letting on, Mary Ellen.

It’s vulnerable to pick a Worst Song Ever. It’s like confessing about a bully you have. I want to sit with a counselor and talk about all the ways “Red Red Wine” by UB40 has hurt me.

I have never heard a scarier text about justifying a toxic relationship than Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract.” These are not opposites. She’s like “He’s a tyrant! / And I like to read!”

It’s weird seeing baggy cargo pants everywhere because they’re not being used for their primary purpose: concealing a Discman containing the album Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park.
