The most amazing part about this is that Brenton Wood and I do the exact same dance when singing this song.

I still want my church to make a case that is actually intellectually and morally defensible.

It’s too bad this cuts off, because it looks like he’s about to bring the fucking walls down.

I was 10 when my dad took me to see Chuck Berry. As you can imagine, it was the best night of my young life. My dad also took me and my sister to the Moondog Coronation Ball a few times. There were a few advantages to growing up in Cleveland.

This and My Girl are my dad’s favorite songs.

Listen to those girls scream for Mel at 1:15 after “But they never stood in the dark with you…”

(ps - I’m going outside now.)

This Dusty Springfield song always brings to mind that lowest of low points during a break-up when you’d give anything to go back to the way it was, even though you know it’ll never last. But then like two days later, you’re fine. So hang in there, and above all, do not send him that 10-page handwritten letter. Burn it.

My dad had a Lesley Gore tape that my sister and I nearly wore out. This song was my favorite because the lyrics and tone were so different from the other ones. This clip is amazing because she’s not lip synching. She’s actually singing and it’s giving me goosebumps. Badass.

Hard to choose just one Temptations performance to post. I picked this one because it contains my favorite musical moment ever, starting at about 1:55.

Do yourself a favor and watch every Temptations clip on youtube. If you don’t find yourself mimicking the choreography, you must be dead inside.
