BACK TO BEING A KID IN THE ’70s

IN YOUR HAND.
WHY DO WE DO IT?
I GUESS I HAD A LOVE FOR RETRO
STUFF EVER SINCE I’VE BEEN A
KID.
KID. AND LUCKILY I’VE BEEN RIGHT
ABOUT THAT AND MADE A CAREER OUT
OF IT.
OF IT. SO KIND OF TAKING THOSE OLD
IDEAS AND TAKING ALL THAT STUFF
I GREW UP WITH, THE OLD MONSTER
MOVIES I USED TO WATCH ON
SATURDAY MORNINGS AND THE
MIDNIGHT MOVIES, ALL THAT OLD
POP CULTURE STUFF, PUT IT ALL
TOGETHER AND COME OUT WITH THIS
CRAZY STUFF.
CRAZY STUFF. ♪

ADULTS COMING UP AND THEY’LL
STOP AND FREEZE AND SUDDENLY
THEY’RE 10 YEARS OLD AGAIN, AND
THEY GO, OH MY GOD, I REMEMBER
WEARING THESE MASKS, WHAT IT
SMELLED LIKE, MY HAIR CATCHING
IN THE RUBBER BAND AND TANGLING
IT, AND STICKING MY TONGUE
THROUGH THE HOLE AND CUTTING IT.
THAT’S THE BEST.
