All that says is that there are probably more young people on here than old. They probably think it's sad that I never heard of Robin Thicke.

Anyways, I think La Bamba was originally made by Los lobos. To see my lyric song of La Bamba (which might of made them put it in bc It was made on Oct 13) here is my quiz! https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/1316153/song-lyrics-la-bamba

Richie Valens' song was a hit from 1958, although earlier versions were recorded by others. Los Lobos sang it for the soundtrack of the 1987 film, La Bamba, which was about Valens' life, including "the day the music died" when Valens, Big Bopper, and Buddy Holly died in a plane crash.

dasubergeek's comment was in no way disrespectful, nor was it a personal attack on anybody. The same cannot be said for trebek's comment.

World’s STUPIDEST breakup, IMHO. If you've been together for like 102 years and are just going to sit back and live off your millions because you’re no spring chickens anymore, then what’s the point of breaking up?

Yeah, I’m still pretty salty about it.

With so many musical acts to choose from, why did you choose ones by first name instead of last name?
