The second verse of "Weird Al" Yankovic's song, Headline News, is about these two.

Once there was this girl who Swore that one day she would be a figure skating champion And when she finally made it She saw some other girl who was better And so she hired some guy to Club her in the knee cap

Our society would be far better if we, as a whole, quoted Weird Al more often.

And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out

And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside

And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died

Except for me

You know why?

'Cause I had my tray table up

And my seat back in the full upright position

Had my tray table up

And my seat back in the full upright position

Yep, huge deal in the mid-90โ€™s. Living through the 90โ€™s was a wild ride for so many different reasons.
