The Game Guy was YouTubin’ and sent me a “must post immediately.” I present to you Scottish pop group Middle of the Road with their 1971 hit “Sacramento.”
There’s something about the people
That everybody knows
That gives you a tender feeling
Of the future
It’s so true. Music video (hilariously not filmed in Sacramento… is it even about Sacto., CA?) after the jump…

I can’t stop playing this. I think I have listened to it like 80 times. Help!

It’s the cheese. Tender feeling, middle of the road… Same as soft and squishy melted cheese on the freeway.
The “There’s something about the people, That everybody knows” appears to be something about the lactose/gas issues that some people have after eating cheese. Everyone knows it, but no one wants to talk about it ’cause it’s kind of gross.

I’ve seen this before…I thought I saw it here. Maybe it was at heckasac. Hmm, strange.

Maybe K-Fed can spin this tune if he accepts this DJ* offer:

Notice in the comments that people clarify that Sacramento is not, in fact, near Fresno.
*Note to radiophiles: I know that radio personalities do not actually spin records anymore.

And see, you guys are so against CBS and CW…but if you had tuned in about two months ago, they had that band on their show, explaining what the song “Sacramento” was all about.

…which means they also stole it from Heckasac. You, Chris Burous, I learned it by watching you!

@CoolDMZ: I doubt that’s where they stole it from.
@TalkingPocket: Before watching the news, did you remember to put your teeth in? And did you remember to use Polident?

@TalkingPocket: I might’ve been insulted by your accusation that I’m an idiot, but you have no idea who I am.
