The Weekly Static S01E18: Hogan, Hardwick, and Co-Opting Holidays

Sing it for the boys, sing it for the girls! Every time that you lose it sing it for the world! Sing it from the heart, sing it till you're nuts! Sing it out for the ones that'll hate…The Weekly Static!

From New York! It's Saturday Night!" from NBC's Studio 8H.
