mDogg in the hizouse

12 April 2004

Few of you know that in college I frequently answered to the nick 'mDogg.' AKA Mags, Marge, Margie, Maggan, Maggie, Hey-You-Get-Off-That-Table, Madge, Maddie, Margarita, Marty, and even Peggy when I was a kid. Thanks to Steve half the office thinks my name really IS Mags.

But DJ mDogg was my superfly alterego, the one spinning tunes for all the par-tays.

Tonight I've been compiling music for my sister's wedding to the theme of "Dancing Music." Who knew that Buster Poindexter was the guy who did the song "Hot, Hot, Hot?" Hey wait a second, that's ME! Hands in the air for everyone who remembers the song, "The Warrior" by Scandal. And thanks to Austin Powers, "These Boots Are Made For Walking" is in every gen-x'ers cliff-notes lexicon.

My girl Alicia, Miss Keys that is, has been dominating the night by a fucking landslide. Stomping on Pat Benetar all night long (sorry Pat, love ya to death, but the girl's got S.K.I.L.L.S. on the piano). She really, really, really wants to know "How Come You Don't Call Me?"

She deserves a giganto, shiny, phalic-looking award for that song. Cuz damn.

The Warrior" by Scandal? For once, I'm not familiar. Rather embarassing. I just got a blast from the past when someone played "informer yesterday". Brings back 80s memories! What's your favorite 80s band?
