Wanna know how much I like cheesy, post-college coming-of-age movie "St. Elmo's Fire"?
Maybe three times throughout the movie, this group of angsty young adults—friends on the edge of a nervous breakdown—chorus together, "A-booga-booga-booga, ha ha ha!" Even Rob Lowe puts down his sax to join the inside-joke refrain.
I'm such a super-fan of this movie, I've come up with a backstory to explain how this unifying ritual came about. It's illustrated fan fiction and it's on my Deviant Art account.
PS-I'm a sucker for Andrew McCarthy's sad and shadowed eyes. His is the very face of heartbreak.
PPS-Am I dating myself if I admit I had the 7" single featuring the Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire on one side and the title track by John Parr on the other?
