I get a kick out of checking what search terms people use to get to this website (hairy bearded men, chan marshall’s feet, antlers on a bear, future spacesuit…).

I went to sleep last night with this song stuck in my head. I woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head. It won’t go away. Please make it go away.

Here are some songs that he used in such flicks as “The Breakfast Club”, “Uncle Buck”, “National Lampoon’s Vacation” series, “Weird Science”, “Ferris [...]
