We're going retro '90s?
Scarily, this old Onion article may actually be right about the retro craze. I had to think about it again after hearing this 10-year-old (!?!) song on the radio twice today -- on the way to work and immediately as I started up the car on the way out of the office. Granted, they were on different stations, including the retooled Atlanta classic rock station that allows it to be classified as "classic rock," but still it was strange since it's starting to fall into the retro/classic revival bin.

Then again, for as silly and poppy the song is, it still brings up a nice memory a girl named Kaymie (who adored the song) at some high school journalism conference in Washington my senior year of high school. Hey, if the weirdo art teacher on Six Feet Under can get emotional over "Sunglasses at Night", I can have this one.
