A new Fall chill is in the air and you’re already swamped with schoolwork and #2 pencil sharpening. There’s no rest for the wicked, but how about a good scream? This little tune is a screamer, “there’s no recess!!!”
“Sit down, Waldo!!” This song is nostalgic of my innocent days as a high schooler. I remember Sophomore year, my girlfriends and I got all glammed up for the Van Halen concert — I think it was my second rock show after getting trampled at Steve Miller Band.
We don’t need no education. ‘Nuff said.
Like, OMG!! This song is quintessential high school. Daddy’s out of town — which means all night keggers, parental liquor cabinet raids, messy bathtub beer bonging and of course, the dreadful beverage that is the wine cooler. Good times!
