Is Scott Baio the Antichrist?

Thursday November 15, 2007

Categories: Culture

I ask because I am mildly obsessed today by the lyrics to his craptastic 1980s syndicated sitcom -- worser even than "Mama's Family" -- "Charles in Charge." Behold, the Orwellian creepiness of the show's theme song:

Charles in Charge Of our days and our nights Charles in Charge Of our wrongs and our rights

And I sing, I want,
I want Charge in Charge of me.

Can single-malt Scotch kill this earworm? Or do I need the talking cure? Victor Morton, where the hell are you?

(Can you tell that it's time for vacation? I'll be away for a few days starting Saturday, and I've got a special guest host lined up.)

Oh, yes, I forgot to add...

Linda Lavin should not be allowed within 150 yards of a microphone or a recording studio. Her renditions of the Alice theme were my WTH moments of the 70's.

Bomp Bomp Bomp Bomp -- Bommmp.

(((shuddering ))

Jeez Ron, that show's been off the air for YEARS. I don't even think TVLand broadcasts it anymore. I can think of bigger things to worry and obsess over right now...
