Used to teach the significance of punctuation to my classes with the following when they complained about me asking for correct puntuation and how "it did not matter."
a) = [incorrect] A woman without her man is nothing.

@Son of Pantz I agree...and I have somewhat winsome memories of Swiss Colony. My Dad, may he rest in peace, LOVED the catalogs for some reason.

Still, the contents delighted my kindergarten-aged self back then, and I still remember the giant mouse dressed in Xmas reds handing out cheese samples outside of the shop, as we waded through the holiday shoppers past the Orange Julius place.

Too bad the Alpha Band didn't stay around long enough for the Beta Band to play together. Is there a Kappa Band?

Since the '80s, WFMU was always the place I went to for a little insanity and weirdness. It's either my age of the state of the world, but WFMU is now my oasis of sanity, stability, and "normalness."

By my math, 45 by EC & the Imposters is approx. 63% power and 37% pop, while If I Don't Love You by Squeeze is an even 75% pop and 25% power.
