I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

The fake songs (both the brief My Little Pony bit in the TV spot and the one Desmond sang during the concert) were pretty catchy.

They weren't fake songs (or at least the concert one wasn't) - it was 'My Before and After' by Cotton Mathers from their album Kon Tiki. Which is a pretty darn sound source to reacquisition songs from.

Scott and I couldn't figure out why the undie-clad groupie was objectionable.

It was Ashley from Two Guys and A Girl! She was hot then and she's hot now and I think that was part of why her bedroom exchange with Paul Rudd was like a conversation between two Wombles for all the sense it made to me.

He's not the love of her life,

Oh, why do you say that? I think he's lovely and the handholding was all kinds of 'aww'. For all this show's seemingly inexhaustible richness and wit, I doesn't often move me but that did.

ETA If anyone is interested in 'My Before and After', it's buffistarawkable.

Idolator did you two better. Here's the other song used in the episode, the one Rob lip-synched to.

P-C, tell the people about Joel.

Because everything is about mememe, check this out:

Idolator grabbed their copy of "My Before and After" from an mp3 blog called Little Hits. The guy who does most of the posting on that site, Stewart, has guest DJed on my show a couple of times, and played that very song on my show last year!

I wish I could say I remembered the song, but I was as surprised as anyone when I saw it on my playlist.

Idolator did you two better.

Three better, if you count owning the song. Four times, if you count knowing it existed.

Was that Rob Thomas alongside Paul Rudd in the video? 'Cause it was such a perfect mid-nineties video, it had the look of a labour of love.

Yes, it was Rob Thomas. And I thought that was going to be my favorite extra little bit in the episode, until I heard the Joel thingie I'm waiting for P-C to tell everyone.

Mac asserts that she's going to kill the inventor of Ultimate Frisbee.

Who just happens to be JOEL SILVER, producer of Veronica Mars.
