Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Millennials know Danny Cooksey from Salute Your Shirts. However, Gen Xers know him from Diff’rent Strokes.

Both generations got a treat because Sam Budnick sang It Takes Diff’rent Strokes with Phil Moore, who was on Nickelodeon at the same time.

The two men turned the song that Alan Thicke and Gloria Loring sang into a Rockin’ tune. Something that was not hard for the redhead to do because when he is not acting, he is a singer in a band.

Whenever I hear a great theme song like this one, it makes me wonder why shows don’t do them anymore.

It has been almost 45 years since Tommy Tutone gave us the most famous phone number in music history. And he is still trying to make her his.

Therefore, when the singer saw a bejeweled phone, he knew he had to dial 867-5309.

Was it the magic phone that got him in touch with her? I doubt it. However, rumor has it that the number belongs to a woman named Sharona, who used to date a man named Jessie.

Do you remember when you were a kid, and your parents bought you a Strawberry Shortcake doll? You didn’t know whether you loved the doll or how she smelled more? So much so that you wished you could smell like her all the time. Well, now you can! Scentbird recreated that scent to bring back those happy memories.

The perfume is a mix of strawberry jam made with wild strawberries and bergamot zest. That is only part of the signature scent; they also added vanilla shortcake whipped cream to make the fragrance sweet like the doll.

I know that Strawberry Shortcake was the main doll, but I always preferred Blueberry Muffin. Hopefully, they will add that scent to the collection, just like they added Orange Blossom.

In 1978, Soft Cell was born to parents Marc Almond and Dave Ball. However, in October 2025, Ball lost his battle with poor health at the age of 66.

With that, the duo became a solo act, and Almond has been touring the world ever since, including a performance at the Hollywood Bowl last week. It looked like the show was going on. But it is not. Almond announced that the band is releasing their final album, Danceteria.

“The ‘Danceteria’ album reflects what we were going through as Brits in New York,” concludes Marc. “We arrived there in 1981 with a bunch of songs that were initially written about London and Leeds. They were songs that reflected the greyness and repression of Margaret Thatcher’s Britain. But once we hit New York, the same songs became infused with a fresh, streetwise sensibility. We were in the clubs, where ecstasy was available for the first time, and we felt privileged to be part of that secret. Our music took on a hybrid quality. We were quintessentially British, but we felt that we were also an honorary American band. So it feels right that the last Soft Cell album is invested in those myths and stories. It brings everything full circle for us, and it’s a fitting tribute to Dave.”

Even though it is being released 11 months after Ball’s death, the singer said his late bandmate had heard the finished record two days before he passed and “knew it was a great piece of work.”

Their sixth and final album will be released on September 25th.

At the end of 1981, 867-5309 became the most famous phone number in the world. Tommy Tutone claimed those digits belonged to Jenny. But who is she?

Franny Keller has been asking her dad, Jim Keller, that question every year. And every year, he doesn’t tell her. Will this year be different?

Why do we care who Jim names? That is because he co-wrote the song with Alex Call (ironic last name). Not only that, Jim’s alias is Tommy Tutone. So he should know the answer.

When it comes to the answer, Keller has said in past interviews it is based on a real person, but Call has said it is not.

So what is the truth? We will have to wait another year because Keller still isn’t telling his daughter.

Therefore, when we get up to heaven, we are going to have ask who Jenny, Jessie’s Girl, Stacy’s mom, and Roxane are.
