I’d argue he’s also aged the best outta those three too.

This video slays so hard. It’s funny to remember a time when folks even entertained the notion that he was straight. Also, the CGI!

The heteronormative gay paranoia was super strong back then. Patrick Neal Harris was also still "straight"...

Day 17 a song from your pre-teen years
This is where I can tell just how much younger than some of y'all I am...
This one qualifies as just on the cusp on teenagehood for me. It's pushing the line a little, but it's a great Australian song and I'm running with it.

I only just realized he filmed a lot of it on a green screen so they only had to film him for the English and Spanish versions rather than everyone
They didn't blend the background seamlessly to say the least but I'm not judging it too harshly 20+ years later lol. Ohh, yeah, I forgot about him! I didn't get that one eitherAll my friends were drooling over Jonathan Taylor Thomas
I think my only celeb crush around that time was Brian from the Backstreet Boys. Kevin was right there, what was I thinking?!

BahahaOhh, yeah, I forgot about him! I didn't get that one either
I initially read that as Kevin Bacon.
My childhood celebrity crush was Michael Douglas.
I was a weird kid.
Still am, I suppose...

No, I get it. My random old man crushes didn't start until closer to high school though

The entire Pump album was awesome, but this song was stuck in my head.

Day 17: A song from your pre-teen years
This is where ELO found their unique sound. The first thirty or so seconds have ended up as the soundtrack to many TV shows, movies, and trailer spots. Iconic, and everything is better with a little ELO. It was originally written for their previous band, The Move, but Roy Wood decided it needed something. So after the rest of the band had left, he picked up a cello and started playing it in the same way he would play a rock guitar. And they messed around all night, trying different riffs and things, using it the way Jimi Hendrix would play, and they ended up recording some fifteen tracks and overdubbing them into this massive sound. This song was made in the analog era, by just three people. That is fucking brilliant.
My favorite bit of ELO trivia: this was from their first album, which was named The Electric Light Orchestra in the UK. When it was going to be released in the US, an executive from United Artists Records, the distributor, had someone reach out to the band to see if they wanted to stick with that. The assistant called the band, but didn't reach them, and documented that. That note was misread, and the first US pressings were under the title No Answer. Which I think was a better title, but as I was four when this came out, they didn't ask me.

I think they bounced back, heh. I shudder to think how much money they made of one US Volkswagen commercial.

I have visions of a little Monkey, dressed in a ruffled shirt and wearing New Romantic war paint purloined from his mother's make-up, jumping on the couch singing this at the top of his lungs.

My sense of humor thinks I am ten, my mind thinks I am still in my twenties, and my body wonders if I died and no one told me yet.Much to @Apisto42 's chagrin ; I'm technically a millennial
