Bernie Lean?

So at my first baseball game of the year and apparently I didn't fully process the crowds of fans doing a dance type thing. The previous year it was the Harvard baseball team so I guess it was relatively related to the game. The best part was my father-in-law trying to Shazam the song ignoring the fact that I told him the name of the artist and song six times during the course of the song.



So this year it was something made espcially for the Oakland A's. I didn't realize this at the time and only know now because I had to Google it.




I can't believe my pop culture knowledge is so extensive that just from the context of the song, I was able to figure out the reference. Bernie Lean? You're reaching into your pocket and singing a song that is referencing Weekend at Bernie's II? Full disclosure: I know that movie inside and out because not only did I watch it a lot when I was younger, when it was time to return it to Blockbuster, I recorded it onto a cassette tape so I could listen to it on my Walkman.

Now that I've successfully shown my age and pathetic taste in movies, I will leave stating that I hope this does amazing things to Terry Kiser's career. And for the record: This movie can be watched in it's entirety on Crackle. Enjoy (or something) while it's still free.
