I'm scared to look up #16.

[Mutant Couch]

Whoa. How the hell do you not know "The Twist?"

[Burke]

I looked it up. I'm pretty sure I have heard it before. I just didn't recognise the name Chubby Checker.

And I just want to say that I really hate Imagine by John Lennon.

Yes! It's so annoying. Plus they're trying to pass this whole message off while playing his opulent piano in his opulent mansion. Shut up with that.

[Burke]

It feels weird when we agree about something.

This one time at my old job, I was having a shitty day, and I told myself that the only way it could get worse is if Imagine started playing on the radio, and no word of a lie, less than 10 seconds later it started playing. True story.

I like to imagine that that song doesn't exist.

[Burke]

We should start a support group. We can't be the only ones out there who've been quietly suffering every time that song comes on. There must be others like us.

[Brandon]

I like the Glee cover.

[Burke]

This might be the best time for me to admit that I don't like Bohemian Rhapsody either.

Worst, stupidest song ever.
