As Erin and I plan our wedding, we agreed that certain songs are off limit for the reception. In fact, we’ve blacklisted more songs than we have approved. One of the biggest names on that list is Journey — I’m fraking sick of hearing “Don’t Stop Believing.” Well, that was until tonight, when I heard “Oh Sherrie” by Steve Perry on the radio. The DJ will play this song for several reasons. 1. It’s awesome — but not in a good way. 2. It has not yet been co-opted by drunk d-bags at fratty bars in lame neighborhoods. Key word: Yet. 3. BASEketball. When I was in high school, we loved that movie. So much, in fact, that my friends started their own BASEketball leagues, complete with Journey psych outs, just like in the movie.
And that’s why I can’t wait to sing this terrible, terrible song at my wedding reception. Also: The original video.
