Tom Fletcher, where have you been all my life?
Wednesday, February 19, 2014As you know, I've been an Anglophile all my life. There were times when I embraced English culture with open arms, and there were times when I gave it a less-than-satisfactory one-armed hug. The heyday of McFly was one of those times.
Somehow, they were always in my periphery. By the time I arrived in England in 2005, I could talk about how cute Dougie Poynter was, and I'm pretty sure 2005 was after the little fling Lindsay Lohan may or may not have had with Harry McFly. (I still don't know all of their last names.) I even had some of their songs on my iPod.
Back in 2005, English culture was very English, and American culture was very American. It's only been 9 years, but to me, the line between cultures has since blurred considerably. And McFly looked like a quintessentially English pop punk band in 2005. I couldn't get past the hair.
This should explain what I mean:
McFly now, L-R: Dougie, Tom, McFly McFly?, Harry |
You may enjoy these videos if: a) you like dorky guys, b) you like quirky songs, c) you want to see Tweety manifested in a human being, and d) you are okay with British humor. Humour.
