Don't know if you're familiar with Whitney Pastorek, the columnist who puts this together, but....the woman should go into standup comedy, IMO....

...well, I mean, she has a certain "type" of humor; one that I TOTALLY get...

So, to quote Ms. Pastorek herself: "Enjoy, NIBLETS!"

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: 1981

9. ''Don't Stop Believin','' Journey

Hello, awesomeness?? I am not kidding this time, people: If you hate this song, you have no soul. I mean, Steve Perry's voice, first of all, is a freakin' national treasure. How in the hell did he sing that high for that long, night after night? His range, it goes on and on and on and on! (My favorite part is towards the end when Steve is so overcome with emotion that ''Hold on to that feeling!'' just comes out like ''Ha-oh-ah-oh-ah-ah-oh-oh!'') And then there's the story, the beautiful story of that small-town girl and that city boy and how one day they'll meet under the streetlights and fall in love — isn't that really a story about each and every one of us, about our hopes and dreams? Here's how we'll relate this song to the holidays: It may be a time for joy and celebration, but for anyone who is alone during this yuletide season, I know it can feel dark, that those nights can feel long. Well, I just want you to remember that the movie never ends, Flashbackers. And even if you think you were born to sing the blues, you should never, ever stop believin'. Ha-oh-ah-oh-ah-ah-oh-oh! A

And then there's the story, the beautiful story of that small-town girl and that city boy and how one day they'll meet under the streetlights and fall in love

Has that woman actually ever even heard that song?

First of all, ''Ha-oh-ah-oh-ah-ah-oh-oh!'' is not what Perry is singing at the end there, those are actual words coming out of his mouth. He's singing "Hold on...". Second of all, that is not what that song is about. And third of all, as tragchk pointed out, yeah she didn't even print the right line up.

Like I said...she has a certain "type" of humor.

Oh well....

Have a good day.
