Now it played as if America was looking back to the early days after 9/11 and asking for a do-over, to return to the moment before that communal spirit curdled into acrimony...

In the club, like a lollipop, with Mariah Carey-basically, whatever you like. 2008, you will be missed...
...make this version more sickening than the original. 1. “It’s All About the Pentiums”—Parody of “It’s All About the Benjamins (Rock Remix)” by Puff Daddy In this nerd anthem, one of the greatest parodies of our time, Weird Al spits out insults Diddy could only dream of: “You think your Commodore 64 is really neato? / What kind of chip you got in there, a Dorito?” If you can’t respect that...
