Harhar.

Maybe is because The WHO was only sporadically active by the 80s.

I heard it's an avian virus, being spread by a Flock of Seagulls making a Journey across Asia.

I caught this.

Every now and then I'll remember one and say "Ah ha!"

I believe the first case was Robert Palmer in 1979. There are recordings of him pleading with a doctor for any news for his bad case. It seemed like there was no pills to cure him either.

That virus was simply irresistible.

It was anything but typical.

Went to see a concert the other day.

I thought it was The Cure, but turns out it was just Placebo

I think I caught this while running through The Forest. What? No... I'm not crying. Because Boys Don't Cry.

Hopefully it doesn't affect the Heart... is it transmissable by a Kiss, should I be worried?

I don't mean to go all Crazy on You, OP, but uh... this is gonna suck if I can't Rock And Roll All Night and Party Everyday anymore...

Like... where I live, there's a lot of Scorpions... I could maybe move to where the virus... isn't? Like Boston? Chicago?

But then I'd ... feel like a Foreigner.

Man, this sucks, now I'm crying Tears for Fears, feel like I'm in Dire Straits =(

Screw it! I'm just living in my car now, where I feel safest of all.

Or... maybe I shouldn't Rush into this... and just uh... relax, like my friend Frankie says...

Sheesh.

What a Blue Monday today turned out to be...

Thats funny. I thought it was Poison.

Was this joke inspired by the movie "Yesterday", where all but one person forgot every song by the Beatles?

kersploosh@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

This joke was inspired by me stealing it from somebody else on the internet. We're a bunch of Fun Lovin' Criminals here.

(I know they're from the 90's, but I couldn't help myself.)

I don't want the cure

Well... how about some Orange Juice?

Idk. Will OJ make me remember most of the mainstream bands of the 80's? Cause I'm okay with the loss of those memories
