minijonb remarked that I had put the chorus of Warrant’s “Cherry Pie” in his head, possibly for 48 hours.

So, MizSplotchy and I are flipping channels a month or so ago, ’cause there’s nothing on the TV.
We come across a VH1 documentary series on heavy metal, Heavy: The Story Of Metal — the chapter we saw was focusing a lot on the hair metal bands of the 80’s.
We didn’t know what we had lucked into. There was a rant by Warrant’s lead singer Jani Lane about the misery rained down on him from writing the song “Cherry Pie”, which was one of the funniest things I have seen in recent memory.
MizSplotchy was wandering the Internets today and found the Jani Lane clip from the show, so I can now present it to you in all its glory.

I saw this a while back and had intended on posting it on May 19th for Joey Ramone’s birthday. I hope he won’t mind me being a day late.
From May 19, 1998, Joey’s birthday party at Coney Island High.
Jonathan Richman starts out with “Roadrunner” and ends with “Happy Birthday”.
People shared some of their own favorite TV music here, but this one wasn’t mentioned.
It’s AWESOME (and very loud in the clip — you have been warned, Lamont!).
Please, feel free to share any TV themes you think have a remote chance of being as good as this one.

Like me, you probably have seen this a hundred times.
But isn’t it really worth a hundred and one viewings?
