This podcast is brought to you by lack of sleep and caffeine withdrawal.
In 2012, Yahoo!’s SketchY comedy series released a song parody of fun.’s We Are Young called We’re Not Young. The parody is brilliant, funny, and heart wrenching all at the same time. I analyze the lyrics and talk about getting older.
Here’s the video: https://www.yahoo.com/news/video/sketchy-were-not-young-130000362.html
Info about the song: https://www.yahoo.com/music/blogs/stop-the-presses/not-young-parody-video-feels-love-201900885.html
