Fireflies WAS Number 1

Fireflies, the, um, hit song by Owl City featuring surely heterosexual Adam Young, is now is at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. This still makes me weep for the state of society. I think it’s It’s the queerest song ever written or recorded, and I lived through the 80s. The only thing worse than the song itself is the video. Link to that here.

If you value your dignity and don’t want to watch, just check out the video description from Wikipedia:

The music video features Adam Young playing the song on his synthesizer in a toy-filled bedroom, where most of the toys (including an astronaut, toy cars, and a blimp) come to life.

This guy should change the name of his band from “Owl City” to “I stick things I find around the house up my ass.”  I got curious as to who could sound this fruity on a recording, so I looked the dude up.
Now it makes sense.

Look at him. He looks like some sort of pedophiliac Peter Pan. Peter Pan flies around with a fairy all day and could probably still kick this guy’s ass, and I’ll even give Adam Young a trident and a firearm just to make it interesting. But in order to fight, he’d have to take time out of his busy schedule, which by the looks of it involves hanging around the swingset by a windowless van holding a bag of lollypops.
