No Doubt End of the World


Here's one you'll remember Cheri.  This is one of my favorite Orange County bands, no doubt, covering a song that was a hit when you were in high school.  This live version was sung just after midnight of the New Year's Party ringing in the New Millennium from 1999 to 2000.  See how many of the words you still remember.

Who's On First


This isn't a song, but it's for you Ethan.  This was Grandpa Tom's favorite comedy bit of all time.  Since baseball is your life, you may have seen this before.  The comedians are Abbott and Costello, a comedy team from the 1940's and 50's I think.  They were in a lot of funny movies back then, and this bit is from one of those movies.  Grandpa Tom first showed me this bit when I was about your age Ethan, and way back in those olden days, we didn't have DVR's, Netflix, or even a VCR.  So when the movie was playing on TV, Grandpa would yell, "Steve! Hurry up, 'Who's on First' is going to be on," and I'd run to the TV to watch it with him.  He knew every word of this bit.  So anytime you're watching this, it's not only funny, but it's kind of like hanging out with grandpa, too.

A Little Something Refreshing


Here's another fun ska song from the early 1990's.  If the woman stuffing her face above looks familiar, that's because it's Orange County girl Gwen Stefani.  Two or three years before they became famous, when they were still playing small clubs and parties, No Doubt recorded this song about pigging out.  I know the cheerleaders have a trip this weekend, so maybe they'll have some fun with this song.  Enjoy.
