american pie

On this day in 1972, "American Pie" by Don McLean hit number one on the U.S. Top 40 chart and stayed there for four weeks! Here's a local connection. I saw Don McLean on stage at the Utica Memorial Auditorium back in 1971, singing that song before it became a hit.

Some people leave their jobs on good terms, keeping their friendships (and, of course, future references) intact, while others come up with clever ways to burn every possible bridge between themselves and their soon-to-be former employers. But Karen Cheng chose to combine the two, making a cute video of her rewrite of Don McLean‘s ‘American Pie’ to give her notice at Microsoft.

‘American Reunion,’ which hits theaters April 6th, brings back the original ‘American Pie’ gang for one last gathering (hopefully) and reminds us all that Jim is a moron and Michelle is just as horny as she was in the band camp days.

Lip Dub?  Ok, it's what we all do in the car, shower, or wherever we happen to hear our favorite tune...probably heard it on OLDIEZ 96.1.  Basically, lip dub is where we simply mouth the words to our favorite songs without actually singing the song, but making it look as though we are the artist performing the song in front of an audience...
