A good college friend invented an extreme niche meme that I basically HAD to participate in. Keep in mind I was only allowed to own one Weird Al cassette tape when I was growing up, “Polka Party“. The rest I knew I either taped off the radio, or were introduced to when I met my geek crew at college. Feel free to pass on the meme and link to us.

Some notes:
*(I blame my college friends for this.)
**(Christmas at Ground Zero is basically the perfect song for growing up next to a nuclear processing facility. This is the song that made me a Weird Al fan. My mom thought I was morbid for finding this hilarious. Keep in mind I was only around 7 years old when this was released.)
***(I’ve used this as teaching material and talked about it on my blog.)
