Ahh, The Dwight Twilley Band. I had so much trouble with that clip.
I was playing Halo 3 with my little 12-year-old brother and his friend and in between games I was playing the medley to try to figure out the ones I didn’t have. My brother’s friend heard the KLF clip and instantly got it…so he saved me A LOT of time. I don’t listen to rap so it would have taken forever to get that.
But I can’t believe I won. Thank you so much.
