But you could be! I mean, seriously, people? Aren’t you even going to try? This contest is more than my lack of intellectual stimulation from my job, it is a test run for a contest thingy I’m thinking about doing soon.

All right. I’ll give you some more hints. Check back in the comments throughout the day for more hints as the guessing gets more pathetic or I get more bored at work.

HINT: This song came out the year I turned thirteen. What else was up that year?

• George H.W. Bush kicks Kansas homeboy Bob Dole’s arse in several debates.
• The Winter Olympics are held in Calagary. I will later visit these grounds and be wholly unimpressed at their summertime splendor.
• Dukakis is named the Democratic candidate (Who? Oh, right. The dude with the eyebrows.)
• Super Mario Brothers 3 was released. (Doot Doot Doot… Do-do do doot. Doot do do doot do do do doo do doot.)
• Benazir Bhutto is sworn in as Prime Minister of Pakistan. (She was assassinated just last month, after years of exile.)
• The Cubs played their first night game in Wrigley Field.

Or is it the prize? Is my prize too pathetic? What’s that you say? People don’t make “mixed CD’s anymore?” Pa-shaw. All right. I will up the ante… Let me think about it….

Again, the question is: Noise has recently begun listening to the song “Thriller” by MJ. Funk’s not a fan, but she has become quite fond of a different MJ song. What is that song? It has not been guessed yet.
