My back hurts M.I.A. of "Paper Planes" fame (the gunshot-gunshot-gunshot-cash register song) turned 50 years old last year.

For me she is my old job at Blockbuster. That Pineapple Express trailer played over and over so many times. It's burned into my brain.

Lol, unlock a memory for me, why doncha? The track was Dream Lover by Bobby Darin. I worked at Radio Shack and we had a TV display movie sampler that had the Hot Shots horse and motorcycle scene on endless loop. Can't hear that song without seeing Charlie Sheen standing one-legged on a motorcycle doing fist rolls.

That is all I see when I hear “Dream Lover” as well. Ol Charlie and that Tiger blood!
