And that's when Chubby Checker hits you with The Twist.

There will be only one

3 day old reply but immediately after reading your comment I figured maybe you weren't familiar with the Beastie Boys "Stop That Train" from the Paul's Boutique album. Around 0:55 they can be clearly heard full-naming Mr. Goetz.

Or maybe you're a fan and never realized you had heard him called Bernhardt? Anyways cheers

judging by his recent gigs, he may already be gone

That's wild, I could've sworn he was dead already.

You know it’s not the band U2 in the song, right?

Powers died back in '77.

Has the boat gotten stuck again?

Marrying the advisor of Jean-Marie Le Pen ( leader of Front Nationale a far-right French political party) type of racist. Plus she called Marie le Pen (daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen and also a fascist) the Joan of Arc of the 21st century in an interview.

Uber-racist (and homophobe, anti-feminist, etc...)

She would have been a great asset in the Trump administration

HP Lovecraft racist or rich white woman born in the 30s racist?

That's literally the same racism, when do you think HP Lovecraft was living/writing...?

Also, we gotta stop giving old people passes. They have the ability to change, they just choose to be bigots. My 90+ year old grandma wholeheartedly embraces my trans friends even if she doesn't fully understand how or why "Robert" became "Annalise", and she had never interacted with a trans person in her life before then.

Brigitte Bardot was just a racist, xenophobic bitter POS until the end.

15 years ago... smartphone app...

That's... entirely correct. Jesus.

I liked the medieval version https://youtu.be/drDs-Y5DNH8

The selection of items seems weaker to me, but for me the main sin is that the original is basically chronological, which makes it more impressive that it's a coherent song at all, if a bit overrated and very boomerific. Fallout Boy one just throws shit in at random to make the lines scan and rhyme, so it's very "meh" even as a follow-up. It feels like they kind of didn't understand that the original was a survey of the time period.

The Fall Out Boy version just blasts out a bunch of random events from the generation it is covering. Joel's version has clearly defined decades/eras and the progression through time.
