memories bad and good: Super Bowl Shuffle and The Electric Company

The Super Bowl Shuffle was nominated for a Grammy Award for best R&B single in 1985, and hit #41 on the Billboard chart.  We must all have been on Quaaludes.  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=765019771919333912

Also, can I get a holla for PBS's The Electric Company?  I loved it all (Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno,etc.), but especially "Love of Chair," the recurring Samuel Beckett-like minimalist soap opera, in which nothing ever happens and every episode ends with the question, "And what about Naomi? (actually stolen from Laugh-In's Gary Owens).  Genius then and now.
