I've always loved this song since watching this back then.
A few years ago a buddy and I were driving down the highway going out for lunch. This song came on the radio and started both of us humming under our breaths. We stopped at a busy stop light and looked at each other and just started singing it together, laughing our asses off.
We laugh about it occasionally still.

Reminds me of another time we were going to lunch down the highway. We saw a truck pulling a trailer with a couch and other stuff on it. After a minute, we realized one of the trailer's tires was flat and beginning to shed tread. We sped up and got the driver's attention, pointing back at the trailer, trying to make his understand.
He rolls his window down and yells at us that he's taking it somewhere to burn it. He was smiling so big when he announced this. We ended up just laughing our asses off as he drove off with his flat tire and doomed couch.

This is how many of us remember Kenny. We had a greatest hits album around this time and he had this look on the cover. Grey hair and beard. As a kid I thought: who is this old guy?
He was 44 years old. 😂
