It’s Friday the 13th. I’ve been referencing it all day because, ha, topical humor! So I thought it might be nice to relive some “(un)lucky” musical moments. And one very special treat, at the end. For your entertainment, after the jump:

Aw, remember when Britney looked like that? I wanted to embed the official bubblegummy music video but alas, all I can give you is a link. And yes, this song foreshadowed her later shenanigans. This and “Overprotective.” And “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.” And even “Baby One More Time”: “I must confess that my loneliness is killing me nowwww”?? Come on, we all should’ve seen her breakdown coming.

On the other end of the music spectrum, it’s The Most Important Band Of Our Time, also known as Radiohead. I never knew there was a video to this song. Man, what if Radiohead never happened? Like if Jonny Greenwood had the flu, or something. Would Thom Yorke still have conquered the world? And by “conquered the world,” I mean “provided appropriate music for me to both cry and smoke weed to.” Conquering the world, one song/tissue at a time, that Radiohead.

This concert footage simply delicious. I’d say this version is better than the original, but then, I was born after the original song was released. I saw the Confessions Tour with my plump gay friend back during the summer before freshman year of college. It was definitely the gayest thing I’d ever done up to that time, except for maybe going to this one awful club called “Colosseum,” where I once almost vomited in the parking lot. My adolescence was so cool.

Wasn’t The Drowsy Chaperone such a fun show? I mean, Sutton Foster could fart on stage for two hours and she’d still probably nab a Tony nomination, but that’s beside the point. Listening to this soundtrack is like injecting myself with one great big dose of happy, with a side order of gay as well as a hint of regret that I wasn’t a musical theatre major. It’s cuz of my big Jew nose, isn’t it? Ugh. Dance 10, looks 3. So it goes.

And, finally, canoeing is dangerous.
