    The song, "Laffy Taffy". It's about candy but at the same time not about candy. It reminds me of a simpler time.

    That reminds me of the "who let the dogs out" craze and we thought it was about dogs but it was really about ugly people.

    that noise you just heard was my brain exploding

    I was also unaware of this

    I thought the “dogs” were a group of young gentlemen out looking for beautiful young ladies to escort

    This meme made people think otherwise.

    (for awhile I thought this)

    HOWEVER the lyrics and this interview says different:
    Baha Men didn't write the song. They weren't the first to record it, either. According to Fusion, the group actually heard the single, called Doggie, performed by artist Anslem Douglas. The Baha Men just tweaked the song to give it their own signature Caribbean edge.

    In an interview on his website, Douglas explains that the song is actually comparing men who catcall and "bark" at women at clubs to dogs. And not in a good way:

    I think the stars and the concept of space in general gets to me. I used to cry in a good way looking at the stars realizing that they were crazy far away and anything is possible to exist.

    Stars and running water are my safe spaces

    Craftsmanship. A series of telephone poles were ripped down by a drunk driver, my crew and I had the job. Watched my experienced co worker gaff up the new pole, transfer the spiderweb of cables and cut down the old pole with a chainsaw. Wielded it like he was carving a turkey. The new run looked better than the old. It was an education watching him work.

    Ever since the movie Watchmen, as soon as I hear the start of Jimi Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower I hear dadgum Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan saying, "Now dry your eyes, and let's go home."

    And I HATE Billy Crudup. I mean sure I love his work in Sleepers and Almost Famous and MI3 and The Good Shephard and this, but he left MY Mary Louise Parker, 7 months pregnant with his kid, for Claire freakin' Danes!

    But every time. There he is. In my head.

    That is a *lot* to deal with in the first few bars of a song, man

    like millions of baby spider eyes glowing in the dark on the back of a mama wolf spider
