Wife and I were watching the Simpsons and Homer is singing Henry the VIII, I Am by Herman's Hermits and I laugh, and mention it's a real song (as there are just SO MANY hilarious and weird pop culture references in the Simpsons) and she wasn't aware (hell, there's a ton of weird old jokes that regularly go over BOTH of our heads on the Simpsons, and I really had no idea of the EXTENT of this until we did deep dives on all the episodes on a podcast we did last October - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podcast-of-horror).

Anyway, I mean, I'm 43, but she's younger (Herman's was before both of our time really, but I figured maybe she'd recognize another Herman's song from something- a commercial, or potentially another Simpsons episode)?

I play a little of There's a Kind of Hush, she doesn't recognize it. A little bit of I'm Into Something Good (https://youtu.be/n0J6q42zLH0) and she recognizes the hook. Was starting to think maybe I'd listened to too much old songs on the radio. 😂 I dig Herman's Hermits, though, and a lot of weird old 60s pop like that.
