Yup, gratuitously bumping: For us old-timers a walk down the [Simpsons](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sZa8Cji2CA) lane. ---

Nothing gratuitous about bumping this form of hatred ---

Sorry but that’s not a refutation in any way. That is a work that was produced and initially released together as a unit. It’s not a series of works produced by different people at different times who did not release them in their initial form with the intent that they be mashed together. ---

Oh lordy - bliss!) I loved Stars on 45 🙂 I played the hell out of it when I was 15 and as a result I still am surprised sometimes when one of the songs plays on the radio and it continues instead of switching to the next song. ---

Speaking of “Stars on 45” and medleys done for comedic effect, here’s a shout-out to the Circle Jerks “Golden Shower of Hits”. > [@Wikipedia](#): > > “Golden Shower of Hits (Jerks on 45)” (which is a riff on the popular “Stars on 45” medley from 1981), contains a medley of six cover versions strung together to create a story line of two people who fall in love, have an unplanned pregnancy, rush into marriage, and end up divorced. The cover versions on the song are as follows: > > ``` > * "Along Comes Mary" by The Association > * "Close to You" by The Carpenters > * "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band > * "Having My Baby" by Paul Anka and Odia Coates > * "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain & Tennille > * "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" by Tammy Wynette > > ``` ---
