I can’t believe you went through the episode and wrote that down, that’s pretty epic.
I didn’t even notice before that they made that many references and cutaway jokes in the episodes. I mean I know they always made some, but I guess you hear it and then dismiss it later.
Hmm…
What is the song playing at the Daddy-Daughter Dance at the end of the episode? Celveland puts the song on as a request. It sounds great. Anyone know what it is?
