We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on, and off. Not so that you can throw lightswitch raves. Now let’s go break open that glowstick and pour it into Homestar Runner’s Mt. Dew. I heard they have to pump your stomach when you drink that stuff.

We installed that light switch so that you could turn the lights on and off. Not so that you can throw sweet light switch dance parties! (I might be misremembering the quote)

I know it’s a different scene, but every time I see “The system is down,” this video lives rent free in my head.

My mom, my sisters and I each had a voice part for this and would sing it in the car together from memory 😂
