The hits

Speaking of MTV, I just caught a glimpse of a very intriguing new hit by the German band Rammstein called "Amerika". Apparently the single hasn't actually been released yet, but MTV started playing the video last week. It's primarily in German, but the line I heard in English goes something like this: "We're all living in America... Coca-Cola, Wonder Bra..." HUH? Another big hit on MTV these days is a remake of the old 80s hit "Break My Stride" by a band named Blue Lagoon. Who thought it would be a good idea to bring that one back? It was bad then, and it's still bad now.
