So, the other day J and I were doing Sprog's bedtime routine, and when it came time for the song I just started singing the theme from 'Happy Days.' Oddly enough, J remembered the whole song, too. But when we were talking about it later, he brought up 'Rock Around The Clock,' which we both agreed was somehow part of the credits, but we couldn't remember how it all fit together.
So I just looked it up on YouTube. Turns out 'Rock Around the Clock' was for the opening credits, and 'Happy Days' was for the closing ones. If you care at all.
Anyway, we got sucked in to a little YouTube wormhole of nostalgia.
"It's nostalgia about a nostalgia show. Which is, I don't know..."
"An infinite recursion..."
"It's like Inception!"
"We've gone a level deeper. If you try to wake up now, your brain will be mush!"
I could use a 45 record adapter as my totem...

HA HA HA. Notalgia about a nostalgia show. I love that. The dream within the dream.
