Hopefully I ate some bad tacos and imagined this -

or did anyone else catch "Hit Me Baby One More Time" on NBC last night?

In case I'm the only one who watched, the premise of the show is that bloated has-beens... I mean... performers from the recent and not-so-recent past perform a "hit" from their past and then a "hit" from today and then the audience votes on which one was the best and then that band gets $20,000 donated to the charity of their choice... I know... wha?

The host is some fourteen foot tall, tanorexic English guy who sounds like he should be in infomercials and was WAY too excited about the show being sponsored by some random mortgage company and the performers included Loverboy, A Flock of Seagulls, Tiffany and Arrested Development.... I know... wha?

A low point in the evening was the host asking Loverboy what the inspiration was for their tune "Working for the Weekend"... I know... wha? (Hopefully Cisqo is a has-been enough to be on there and he can ask about the inspiration of "The Thong Song")

And while I was embarassed for everyone (except Arrested Development because they looked and sounded great) when they performed their original song, but I was embarassed for myself when they came out to do the "hit of today" - NBC must have some dirt on most of them because I don't that it's possible that A Flock Of Seagulls would just choose a Ryan Cabrera song... I know... wha?

Next week the scheduled performers are Tommy "867-5309" Tutone, Vanilla "Shameless Reality Show Whore" Ice, The "Sharona-tacular" Knack, and The "We Apologize in Advance" Motels... I know... wha?

Please tell me no one else saw this
