Last night, I was driving a couple of friends back to their apartment and I was more than delighted to play for them one of my twenty-five cent cassette tapes. I was trying to get my friend, who is around six years younger than me, to guess the artist. The song "I Saw Him Standing There" was playing:
Younger Friend (YF): Ooh. I know this song.
LMNT: Yeah...
A group of women standing on the corner hear the song playing and start dancing and singing along, because it's that good.
YF: Wait isn't this a Beatles' song?
LMNT: Yeah...
Her boyfriend, who is around my age, chimes in from the back seat.
BF: Madonna? Sheena E?
LMNT: No! You guys! It's TIFFANY!
YF: [stares blankly at me]
YF: Tiffany who?
LMNT: Tiffany!
YF: What's her last name?
I died a little right then and there.
