Swine Flu: One Hit Wonder

Well, two weeks into the swine flu bonanza, only 1000 confirmed cases have been discovered and in Mexico, the threat level is being lowered and things are opening back up.  After a great start out of the gate, this one faded in the finish.  While some people might compare the swine flu to Vanilla Ice, we here at Puggling do not share this view.  Swine Flu is more like Europe's "Final Countdown."  Vanilla Ice is still culturally relevant and has been remembered for nearly two decades.  While "Final Countdown" has only been put back into public view by being a cheesy background for GOB in Arrested Development.  "Ice Ice Baby" is still played at wedding receptions and we (conservatively) estimate that 34% of Americans can rap along side the song.  It can still get a party going.  It places easily in the top five:

  1. Bon Jovi: Livin' On a Prayer
  2. Vanilla Ice: Ice Ice Baby
  3. Sir Mix-A-Lot: Baby Got Back
  4. Journey:  Don't Stop Believing
  5. AC/DC: You Shook Me All Night Long
Swine Flu is a cheeseball 80's hair band song.
