It’s Comment of the Day time, and once again I can’t help but be won over by a nicely done song parody. Last time around it was The Who’s classic Behind Blue Eyes that got appropriated for yuks in support of a Saab gag. Today, you’re in for a fresh glam-era ear worm courtesy of Dutch rockers Golden Earring, retooled for Matt’s delectable dive into car-shaped waffles.
But first, here are a couple of bonus jokes worthy of honorable mention, which shall be honorably mentioned forthwith:
Ah, ghostpedalsyndrome, we shall never tire of a simple, satisfying pun. Well done … but merely a warmup for this double whammy of puntastic delight!
And with that, we arrive at our feature attraction. From Data comes this well-crafted riff on Radar Love, the massive 1973 hit that put Golden Earring on the map and remains a classic rock staple. Click that hyperlink if you need the melody loaded into your noggin before you savor Data’s ballad to fried batter:
And that’s our Comment of the Day! Have a terrific evening everyone, we’ll catch you on the flippity-flop.

It doesn’t look enough like an old Volvo Amazon or a more Modern S60 built in Ghent, and used as police vehicles.
In fact, I can’t quite put any make or model to any of those snack cars that go great with fried chicken and honey mustard.
Wow! My comment was adjacent to a runner up!
Yay?
Take your damn star.
I was thinking it. You said it.
Do they make runner up to the participants ribbons?
Great minds think alike!
