When I was doing my study abroad in Italy in 2002, I lived in a beautiful apartment with 5 girls. None of us really got along. We were all very different and had to share one bathroom. But the worst of all was this girl, lets call her Princess Brandywine Dandyridge* (just for shits and giggles). Princess Brandywine Dandyridge* was a Persian American. Every time she talked about being Iranian, she would always correct us and say, "excuse me, it's Eeeeee-rahn, not I-ran!." So just to tease her, I'd always sing her this Flock of Seagulls song "I Ran." Let's take a listen and then get to the real point of the story:
Cut to Saturday Night Live this weekend and look how they paid homage to the president of Iran's controversial q&a session at Columbia. I'm not sure if it's better than "Dick in a Box," but it's up there, and I can help but think I had the idea first! And yes! That's the Maroon 5 dude.
