Nows and Forevers

Back in New York I had to listen to one of my jams, WCBS Newsradio 88. As a teenager and a budding journalist growing up in Connecticut, I listened to it all the time. (Yeah, I was odd.) Plus my dad listened to it in the car. Some of the same people I heard listening to it in the 1980s are still there. But that’s another story.

One of the commercials I heard was 1-800-Kars for Kids, which played incessantly on WCBS in the ‘90s and 2000s. My dad and I both had the same reaction at the same time.

“That song again!”

I don’t know if it was just a tristate area thing or whether it went national. But that little ditty is burned into my brain.

It reminded me of this scene in “The Good Place,” where the demons sing the official Bad Place Song.

Yep.

I remember seeing that when it first was on and nearly doing a spit take. That was a deep cut by “The Good Place” writers, and it probably sailed by 95% of the audience.

But it was awesome.
