I was just talking with Garrett, one of my teenage co-workers, here at the bank, about the show American Idol.

He sort of knew who Paula Abdul was, but I had to admit, that, although she was an 80's semi-star, I couldn't name two songs off the top of my head that she did.

I eventually remembered the song Opposites Attract, describing as a song where the video was the big reason why people remembered it.

She danced with a cartoon cat.

The cat was named "MC Skat Cat."

He had a solo album.

To assure Garrett that I wasn't kidding, I did a quick search and found this link.
