Once you understand that every male GOP staffer under the age of 30 was raised on 4Chan and Reddit, a lot of things start to make sense.

"Distinct" is hardly a word I'd use for that guy or song; it's such a boring, generic song I never notice it when it's on... until that line "AND THEY COME UNSTUCK!!" Then I'm like, "wha? What came unstuck...?"

The weirdest Madonna track, and maybe the weirdest thing you'll hear all day. She's reciting the Act of Contrition over backwards gospel choirs and shredding rock guitar, then starts screaming about being denied a restaurant reservation.

Everybody from Duran Duran to Motley Crue to Donny Osmond to T-Pain to Pearl Jam to Pat Boone is warmly eulogizing Ozzy. He must've done something right.

This flawlessness here is the only Stevie Wonder cover that I like *better* than the original.
