Every Girl's Crazy `Bout A Real Old Song

We have no problem with the “Li’l Ol’ Band from Texas” (seems like that should come with a copyright sign) but let’s face it: backing the video spot with “Sharp Dressed Man,” a song that is a quarter-century old, doesn’t exactly scream “modern, exciting, cutting-edge city.” (What – was “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” not available?)

To illustrate just how old that freakin’ song is, we’ve compiled a list of things the tres hombres might’ve been touting if they did this spot back in 1983:

Non-steroid-user Nolan Ryan pitches non-steroid-using balls in the freakin’ Dome

Oliver Luck and Gifford Nielson QB the Oilers in a Texans-like 2-14 season

Houston is actually hit by a real hurricane – good ol’ Alicia

H-town gets a kick-ass new building called the Transco Tower!

Kathy Whitmire is doing a bang-up job, for a girl mayor

The big basketball stadium off 59 is actually used for basketball

Astroworld opens a kick-ass ride called the Sky Screamer

Tons of great coupons in the Sunday Post
