Not too terribly long ago, I posted on here that my little Instagram clips of Fake Sean Connery had reached fifty installments (I don't quite dare call them episodes). It was a little game I came up with where Fake Sean would quote a popular song, and those in the comments could try to guess it.
Well, nobody gave a Yeti's bunion about my little enterprise, but I enjoyed it so much, I just kept doing it, vowing to go to a hundred videos, come high or hell water. And now, here we are, with a hundred of them*, and I wanted to commemorate it on here.

| It could always be worse. |
And, like I did before, I thought it
would be fun** to count the number of songs by each decade, just to see
how many Eighties songs I shoved in there. There will always be more from the Eighties than any other decade, you understand.***
1800s: 1
1920s: 1
1940s: 1
1950s: 2
1960s: 9
1970s: 13
1980s: 39
1990s: 12
2000s: 8
2010s: 5
2020s: 9
Unfortunately, I discovered two doubles this time--"I Don't Like
Mondays" was the 63rd video and the one I thought I was saving until
100th (whoops). Worse, I noted that "Mad World" by Tears For Fears was
both the 49th and 97th song presented, but instead of deleting it as I
did "Mondays," I figured that one could be the Tears For Fears version
(80s) and one the Gary Jules version (00s).
And
now that I've reached the landmark one hundredth segment, should I stop?
Oh,
it's a rhetorical question. I'm not stopping. Try to stop me if you want to. I checked and I still have seventeen songs recorded during my
various trips to the cabin I've not yet used. At the rate I've been putting them out, I
should be able to start on new ones once the snow melts again in the
spring. Oh joy.
*Though
I did substitute Fake Michael Caine twice the week of Christmas. It's
an impression that's not nearly as good as my Connery, but since no one
was watching . . .
**Fun not guaranteed. Consult your physician if fun becomes excessive or swollen.
***I recently saw a YouTube
rant about a woman--middle-aged and nearly as pleasant as that tool who replaced Tucker Carlson on Fox News--complaining about having
suffered through the Eighties once already, why would she ever want to
listen to Eighties music now? I quickly turned the video off, lest it give me AIDS.
