Honestly, you had to be there. People who weren’t teenagers between 1994-1998 had no idea how huge Adam Sandler was. For some reason, we considered him ours and Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and The Waterboy were considered classics.
Looking back on it, I don’t even understand it myself anymore.
I was 18 in 1994, so I was there. I never did understand why he was/is so damned popular. The Hannuka Song was kinda cool; I can see why that would make him popular in the Jewish community, but not why anyone else would like him so much. The Thanksgiving Song was painfully bad, and everything else he did was pretty forgettable.
Ol’ Beelzebub sure got over on the Black Eyed Peas. Took their souls for fame and fortune but didn’t give them a lick of TALENT!
I think Shakira’s parents signed a contract on her behalf. She’s freaking gorgeous, has a great voice, great moves, speaks three languages fluently and is big on early childhood education. It’s like she was CRAMMED with all the good stuff you can imagine at some point. She’s way too much of everything for it to be real.
I could post a single line from one of their songs. Maybe the mods might not like it because it will be equivalent to posting the entire song.
“I gotta feeling
that tonight’s gonna be a good night”
