"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Catching up on Archer from a week ago, and I have to say Archer team + Tony Bourdain = hilarious in my book. I'm a little sorry that Barry and Katya probably 86d any future appearances.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

So I was very proud of myself for noticing that the song Shirley was humming to herself as she was loading the washing machine was the same jazzy little piece of elevator music that Abed came up with (and Troy was bopping along to) in "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps". Then it occurred to me that since I do often miss these things, it might have recurred more than that. Anybody ever catch it in any of the other eps?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Anybody ever catch it in any of the other eps?

In "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism," when Troy comes out of the blanket fort/bedroom to find that Annie stepped on the DVD, he's humming it.

It's "Daybreak" by Michael Haggins, and it's a recurring joke: [link]

Well, guess I'll be doing a bit of rewatching tonight. (Not a hardship!) Thanks, Steph.

eta: Work internet won't access Youtube. Yet another reason why it's past time to go home. Thanks, shrift.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Troy and Abed also used it as outro music (by humming it) for their podcast with the German guy the week before last.

It's ALWAYS in my head. As are most of the songs from the glee club Christmas episode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's too fucking subliminal--I realise I'd caught it three times, but never thought about it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's too fucking subliminal

Which is to say it's exactly the right amount of subliminal.

Well, it's "better" than the Beetlejuice, which I can still barely detect.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Look, wherever your liminal is...it's below it. That's just the way it is by definition.

You can try to pitch your liminal lower but then it's supraliminal.
