The Fabulous Beetles

In the midst of a writers' strike, there is only one option. YouTube.

And look what I found! Something I haven't seen since I was... four, maybe... and totally unaware of it being a spoof!



And think about the other Beatles references! Lots of cartoons and movies of our childhood fit Beatles songs into their repertoire. Muppet Babies? The Wonder Years?

It's funny to think how the people who took control of this country, the ones after the Greatest Generation, were totally into The Beatles and couldn't resist slipping every reference they could under the pop culture skin. Hell, I first thought these songs were car commercial jingles, not the rock that defined a generation. I'll thank Michael Jackson for that.

And of course, the tradition has been passed on to us. Except now we're making Mario, Sonic, and Waldo references every chance we get instead.

And we're still making Beatles references. And making fun of Wings.

Thanks, Michael.
