"Now wait a minnit! Mexican Radio is genius! What is wrong with you people?"

I don't know about genius, but it's a fun little novelty song.

To which let me add "The future's so bright (I got to wear shades)" by Timbuk3. Kinda silly, but at one time it reflected my outlook pretty well. Nostalgia seems to make objective judgements about music pretty much impossible.

I study nuclear science, I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better

I'm doin' all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades

I got a job waiting for my graduation
50 thou' and year will buy a lot of beer
Things are going great, and they're only getting better

I'm doin' all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades

Well I'm heavenly blessed and worldly wise
I'm a peeping tom techie with x-ray eyes
Things are going great, and they're only getting better

I'm doin' all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades

I study nuclear science, I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better

I'm doin' all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades
I gotta wear shades...

I like that song too. I always took it as a real middle-finger waved at anti-Reagan lefties.

Yeah, I liked that song, too, but it was definitely a break from my generation (which was pretty much the same generation that the Who was talkin' about.)

In 1986, Reagan was President, and we were winning the Cold War.
