or more specifically,
how kenny loggins
earned wyatt's
grudging respect.
you may think it's because
of his lush full beard...
or his stylish flipped up denim collar.
but actually, no.
let's consider the genesis of the song footloose, shall we?
perhaps it went something like this:
a footloose movie executive
contacts mr. loggins.
"kenny, we've got this movie, you see,
that needs a song.
a good song.
a really catchy song.
the movie is called footloose,
and surprisingly enough,
it's pretty much about dancing.
go!"
and young kenny,
our dear kenny,
delivers a smash hit we all know and love.
a hit we tap our toes to.
a hit we sing along to,
even though we have to mumble
through most of the verses,
but we totally rock it
when the chorus kicks in.
and i mean rock it.
and that is why kenny loggins
has earned wyatt's grudging respect.
and in case you aren't convinced
of the one-time sheer genius
of kenny loggins,
try it yourself.
"we've got this movie we're working on.
it's called jujubees in space.
and surprisingly enough,
it's pretty much about jujubees.
in space.
go!"

"Jujubes in space!
Don't get in their face!
Every day they see a new place!
Come on, come on, Jujubes in space!
Misunderstood and in fear for their life,
Running from Earth to escape their strife!
Tired of all that high fructose corn syrup,
Had to use a rocket because they had no legs to reach the horse stirrup.
Jujubes in space!
Tired of being squished in a kid's brace(s).
Every day they see a new place!
Come on, come on. Come on, come on! Come on, come on! Come on, come on!
Jujubes in spaaaaaaaaace!"
Boo-yah, Wyatt! I'll take me some of that grudging respect now. Word.
