If that's the case, I'd rather hear "Vienna Calling".

I have this recollection of walking around the Rathaus in Vienna and developing a serious Falco earworm.

It used to be in the General Discussions section, before the Crash

Yes, I remember. I'm surprised no one's recreated it 'til now. I guess everyone knows almost everything!

Okay, that's deeply strange. Maybe it's the couple's honeymoon destination?

Indeed, yet every 30-year old in attendance (and there were like 100 of them!) was belting it out!

You never know what songs people will inexplicably become devoted to. I worked with a guy in the ‘90s who was 21 at the time. He was obsessed with Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

[voyager]

Quite right.    I was thinking that it was the song they remember as being the wallpaper of their "courtship", certainly their era.

[backyardchef]

Weezer just covered Africa a few years ago. It brought the song some cachet. 

[small h]

Aha.

Let's just say my taste leans a little more Hinds than Charli.  Or, I'm not quite as erudite as some.

My taste leans a little more Hinds than Taylor Swift.

Honestly, this could go on for a while.

I think Brat kind of blows Tortured Poets away.

I found deep in the freezer a package of Italian sausages dated December 2020.  Cook or compost?

I'd cook them if they don't look completely freezer-burned.

[Sneakeater]

See if you don’t label them you never have this problem.

Sadly, they do.  Off to the compost bin.

What is this? I bought a piece of yellowtail (buri) at Japan Village, and the vendor gave me three packs of this. It has the texture of al dente pasta. It tastes a a little salty and that’s about it. Anyone recognize it? Is it little tiny fish? I think I see eyes.

Could be fake baby eel, which is definitely a thing. @Orik has mentioned this before.

[small h]

Oh! What is it really? Like surimi eel?

[small h]

Someone on another board says whitebait, likely baby sardines.

[Wilfrid]

No. Just no.

[small h]

[Wilfrid]

Okay, missed your previous. Yes, surimi eel.

[voyager]

Um...not surimi but rather real baby fish.   No?

[small h]

Seems to be. Kind if a PITA to make such fussy fakes.
