The Office is a highway, I wanna watch it all night long
Last Thursday on The Office, Michael Scott (accompanied by Holly and Darryl) belted out a fabulous rendition of Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane.
They were on a road trip from Scranton, PA to Nashua, NH, and it’s one of those songs that you can’t resist singing along to when it comes on the car radio during a long road trip.
I remember when the song came out when I was in high school, and how catchy it was then. It still gets airplay almost daily to this very day.
And now, the vocal stylings of Michael Scott, Holly, and Darryl:

The Spirit of Freaks and Geeks
Watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall this past weekend and How I Met Your Mother on Monday got me to thinking about Jason Segal’s start on Freaks and Geeks, and some of the more classic moments from that show. Awhile back, Matt posted about Nick serenading Lindsey with the Styx classic Lady.
Well, one of my favorite Nick moments from Freaks and Geeks is when he’s drumming along with Spirit of the Radio by Rush. One would think he’s doing an awesome job, until his dad comes down the stairs and you get the perspective of the outside observer.
This scene is so great because not only is it an awesome song, but who hasn’t been singing along to the car radio, or doing karaoke, and thinking they sound awesome, when, in reality, they’re awful?
(Lostaholics note: John Locke’s dad makes a cameo in this clip!)
Tangential anecdote: Jo and I once shared a flight to Australia with Jason Segal (thankfully, it didn’t crash on a mysterious island). We noticed him waiting in the Auckland, New Zealand airport on our layover along with the rest of the passengers from our plane. Which is funny because the night before we had watched Can’t Hardly Wait in the hotel room, and he has a small cameo in that. And now, thanks to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I’ve seen his penis.
