The clip is from a 1987 retro/satire movie “Back To The Beach” featuring Annette Funicello, Frankie Avalon and Fishbone. (She was 45 in that vid.)

For those who watched her bloom on the Mickey Mouse Club, and for those who only knew her from the schlocky beach movies, here’s a tribute to Annette Funicello on The Overnight Open Thread.

Politically incorrect ignernt and factually wrong, I rediscovered this video from a few years ago. I still like it, and speaking of The End Of The World, here’s Skeeter Davis from 1965:

I fell in love with her when I was in elementary school.  In those days, The End Of The World generally had something to do with the USSR and nuclear annhilation and threats from other Reds/Communists. One baseball team even took to calling itself The Cincinnati Redlegs to keep the newpaper headlines between sports and world events separate.

My favorite End Of The World song is Fishbone’s “Party At Ground Zero.” Later on, REM had a nice hit but this one is more accurate:

Don’t forget this End Of The World gem. Michael Nesmith sings about the sister of one of the admins here:

As of today, the EPA has been given the power to regulate CO2 as a pollutant, so now we’re all gonna get fined for breathing. Really. (The Murkowski resolution to stop the EPA power grab failed on a 47-53 vote. Be sure to read Sen. Inhofe’s statement at the link if you haven’t already.)

Where have all the sentient Democrats gone? Has the entire party contracted a logic-eating brain virus? Let’s all exhale a big breath of CO2 while we still can do it for free with an Overnight Open Thread.
