For me, this song is forever fused with the opening scene in Grosse Pointe Blank where Cusack blows away the bike messenger. A scene so good, I can't believe it's not on YouTube.
The scene from Justified a couple of weeks ago had that awesome cold ope with Art at the bar listening to Watermelon Slim's "Please Take This Cup" before decking Raylan for the Sammy Augustine mishegoss.

See, I can make a Stereogum comment without resorting to Videogum punnery. Thanks for Givens me a chance.

I was thinking about Leno's last show this morning and he really did squander any reeling of nostalgia by pulling the same swan song act in 2009. Like even Billy Crystal showed up on that show because he made a promise to Jay that he'd be the guest on his first show and then the guest on his last show(s). (Guys, that last sentence was really hard to write because I was making the jerkoff motion the whole time.)
I guess my point is when Carson signed off, he had the good grace to stay signed off, but if you don't think he won't show up again on ABC or CNN or HGTV or Nick Jr in a year because he desperately needs to make fun of the president while simultaneously high-fiving a rabid crowd of sheeple, stuffing their adulation in his fat cheeks like a squirrel before the frost sets in, then you're fucking kidding yourself.
I found this the other day when I was clearing out my "Made this for Videogum" pic archive. It's like the universe was trying to tell me something.

I always found the Famke Janssen haunted book posts to be spine-tingling.

(Guys, I'm overstocked on applause gifs. This Videogum news really couldn't have come at a worse time.)
