Back when this song was new and Pizza Hut had restaurants one of the employees must have been obsessed with R.E.M. because we hear this song and other R.E.M. hits like 2-3 times each while eating. It was the only time my dad actually give me money for the jukebox.
When playing Charades and putting media titles into the other teams hat, this song is the absolute best. Put yourself through it…how the fuck are you supposed to act this shit out?
The song’s title refers to an incident in New York City in 1986 in which two then-unknown assailants attacked journalist Dan Rather while repeating “Kenneth, what is the frequency?”
It always amazes me that Hank Hill knows the words to this song, which implies that he likes the band and I can only imagine he first gave them a listen simply because of their name.
My son is really into PUSA mostly because we brought him up on Caspar Babypants (check it out if you have kids, Stompy the Bear rocks). He loves Peaches, Dune Buggy, Mach 5, Volcano and 5500 Miles. He has great taste for a 5 year old, obviously.
I picked up their anniversary CD a while back. They have a couple alternate versions of Naked and Famous on there. One’s a demo. There’s something about at least that one I really like. Maybe it’s the rawness of it; they even swear!
