Feeling old today I complained about getting "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight" stuck in my head after hearing it in a coffee shop and got nothing but blank looks from my teammates. "What's a Wang Chung?"

You're not alone - now it's in my head!

Also, having a 15yo niece move in with you can contribute to feeling old. I have learned that she is not familiar with "nuking" things in the microwave, nor with the concept of someone selling snake oil.

Octothorpe, I think you should rectify that situation by getting your Wang Chung cassette out, putting it in your boom box, cue up the song (I don't remember if it's on side A or side B) and blast that bitchin tune for those whippersnappers.

Also, did you see the NYT did a 36 Hours in Pittsburgh video?

Msali, yes that video has been everywhere lately. Neat that they found Bicycle Heaven.

Wasn't he that guy who sang really badly on American Idol?

(now you'll have "Everybody William Hung tonight" stuck in your head... I am not sorry)

I'm actually older than quite a few of my co-worker's parents. I'm not sure how this happened.

You're not old, they just don't know pop culture.

Here. This will erase Wang Chung from your head:

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight...
