i saw the sign . . . and it sucks

Why does Bally Total Fitness use the Ace of Base song "I Saw the Sign" in their commercials? Couldn't they find anything else? Anything? Ace of Base was cool when I was in 6th grade. I had their cassette tape. Their CASSETTE TAPE.

In other news, The Godfather is dead.

I guess he completes the Three. You know, how celebrities die in threes? Ronald Reagan, Ray Charles, Godfather.

The end.

  1. Yeah, I think it was "Get The Party Started" as in, "I simply CAN'T WAIT TO EXERCISE!!!!!"

  2. I'm completely not ashamed that I had the Ace of Base cassette in middle school too. By the time I got to maybe 8th grade it was unforgivable to have such a thing, so I gave it to our French exchange student, who didn't know any better. On a whim a few months ago, I downloaded one of the obscure songs like "Happy Nation" and was horrified that I actually still knew all the words (including that random Latin crap, what was that about?).
