(A real recap may or may not be coming tomorrow. Today, my liver has locked me in a hellish and headachey prison of my own making, due to two straight weeks of complete and utter debauchery. Therefore, today’s post will be short, sweet, and visual… but magnificent, nonetheless.)
So you may recall a few weekends ago when I discovered the amazingness that is Stephen Colbert’s music video from the cobwebs of 1986. If not, I will grace it with your presence now (watch carefully. This is vewwy important…)
The sweet ass dance moves, the “Friends fist bump FU,” the hair-band hair, the GUYLINER… it is GOLD, pure gold. Of course I had to show it to my dancing partner in crime, Maxie, and obviously her heart ached with a fiery, burning love for it just as mine did. So much so, in fact, that upon our arrival to the Big Apple on Saturday, the first thing we did was break it down to Mr. Colbert’s original creation of audible wonderment.
As you will see, we took our mission very seriously. Our camera woman, Lemmonex, did NOT, as you will be able to tell from her unsolicited laughtrack… although apparently we did make her “wet,” which is basically our goal at all times with all things we do.
Without further ado, please enjoy our rendition of “Charlene (I’m Right Behind You.)” Um, also, please make it through to the end for our version of his ‘dancing.’ You won’t be sorry.
(Youtube link here, if it’s choppy.)
Mr. Colbert, I hope we did your performance even the teensiest bit of justice, but I suspect our obvious unadulterated adoration might make up for what we lack in talent.
We’re here all week, people. In fact, we’re here all life. It’s what we do.
(Sidenote: I do just have to say that meeting my darling Cavy this weekend- i.e. drinking heavily, bootay dancing, and being spooned by her all night- exceeded even my highest expectations. Prepare to endure many more humpings in the future, my dear. You are officially on my list of People to Smother With Love, Tenderness, and Karaoke Serenadings. You freaking rawk.
As for the rest of you hookers, Lemmonex, Deutlich, and Maxie… I seriously don’t know what I’d do without you, and I have *definitely* never had that much fun during 8 hours in the CAR, nevermind the rest of the time. I love you, girls. Truly, I do. Wherever we’re heading next better put their big-girl panties on in anticipation…)

God we are so fucking awesome!!!
i second maxie and that paragraph dedicated to me only i’m dedicated it to you. LOVE!
i think im going out there the end of june… be there or be square biatch!!! i am incredibly jealous that i did not make this venture.
Aww the video doesn’t load. Says private.
I am totally jealous. And so are my big girl panties.
I want to spoon!!!
lol
I can’t see the amazingness that is you and Maxie, it’s says the video is private.
You crack me up.
I CAN’T SEE THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!
Hurry up and fix that ish.
I was really upset to see that the video was private! You must get this fixed, asap!
You’re kind of my hero.
Hahahaha that was completely and utterly fabulous.
Its times like these I wish I could watch videos at work.
I’m really astounded at the amount of clothing all of you are wearing in the photos. Before fixing the video, I think this situation should be addressed.
AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That made my morning.
I love you guys, seriously.
@Matt It’s times like these I am SO happy that I can.
This?
Was FAN.TASTIC!
loved how serious u both looked in the beginning!!and then the giggling started and i could no longer control myself and i may or may not have peeed myself with laughter!!!!
well done girlies:)
Hysterical video! I’m glad you girls had such a great time!!!!!
I’m SO going to have a get a camera that takes videos. Hrmph.
This post bordered on lesbianism.
I’ve never been happier.
You officially have LESS than two weeks to whip that liver into shape. You may use me as your shining example of temperance and good health.
Yeah, yeah, I hear you laughing all the way from DC.
I think our Snuggies should have wild Snuggie sex together. That was amazing.
Um, that video is nothing short of AMAZING!!!!
I drank my way through the weekend, too, and feel like absolute DEATH this morning. One of these years I’m going to learn copious amounts of alcohol do not bode for a pleasant Monday morning…
Ah, you never disapoint! I definitely think you should have your own tv show!! x
There’s only one word to describe it – CLASSIC!
Mr. Colbert’s video scares me. Yours and Maxie’s makes me smile. Well done!
Don’t worry about your liver. You’re giving it too much power.
There are only two body parts on me that I let make important decisions. Neither one of them is my liver.
I’ll have to watch the videos later, but from your tweets and this post, it looks like you ladies had an effing awesome time!
I like to think that video would be nothing without me.
I’m way jealous of your bloggy-meet-up awesomeness.
Why can’t North Carolina and New York be closer?!?
TMI Thursdays may have to have video-versions. Just thinking out loud here…
I’m still so exhausted from the weekend I was THISCLOSE to calling in sick. But DAMN was it worth it and HOLY HELL let’s do it again.
Semi-soonly.
May is busy. After all.
Oh..man.. I just thought of the debauchery involved if we ever do get our asses out to WV to visit Teh Maxie and to play with white water rafting…..
I think my brain just imploded.
I saw Maxie with a red wig and then she walked out, Lemmo was actually next to me and I did not recognize her until the very end and Cavy was the one with you when I talked to you, now it all makes sense haha… It was a blurry night for me and I swear, I saw 3 girls that looked just like you that night. Only diffce is that you ended up being the tallest one… taller than me too…
I am officially jealous of ya’ll now!
Indiana SUCKS for being faaaaaaaaar away from NYC!!
And, again, I’m jealous!!
Glad you guys had a fabulous time for the rest of us!!
Okay, wow. That was amazing. UH-Mazing.
can you send this to Colbert somehow? I think he would totally appreciate the love. or be embarrassed that more people are watching that video of his. scary.
That video just made my morning. Thanks for that.
funny stuff, but i’m not gonna lie: homegirls on the far right and far left need to cool out on the makeup.
LOL. I’m pretty sure that video of you guys brought a tear to Colbert’s eye. Good job!
That just put me in the greatest mood. I think i will have that song stuck in my head the rest of the day…lol
Looks and sounds like a wonderful time!
i am SERIOUSLY DYING that i can’t view youtube at work. i watched the colbert vid over the weekend so i actually know what i’m missing (i mean, clearly i can’t envision the full awesome) and it is KILLING ME. must watch it tonight. le sigh.
No one ended up in jail?
I am lame because I did not come to meet you fabulous ladies. I had every intention of coming out, but many things conspired to keep me in that night. And, dammit, I’ve still never been to the Village Pourhouse after 3+ years.
Wow, insulting friends of the blog author is so cool. And anonymously is even better. Why didn’t I think of doing that?
Oh yeah, cause I’m not a complete jackass.
Uh, wow. I really am not wearing that much make up and Deutlich looked awesome. I have no idea why Anon would feel it necessary to comment on this, but I am going to say, not so anonymously, go eat a dick, dude.
Dear Anonymous:
First of all, you callow strain of swine flu, don’t you know that anything written anonymously doesn’t count for shit?
Second of all, the only problem with this picture is that there is no way to capture the radiant beauty of my absolutely STUNNING partners in crime. I think Lemmonex said it well when she told you what you can go do.
Never come back,
LiLu
colbert rocks, but not like you chicks!
so nice to meet you! deutlich said that if i come to dc she’ll make me eggs, VERY convincing…
It cracks me up that you have the lyrics down.
Man, you guys should send that to Colbert. He would probably put it on the show. He’s cool like that. DO IT!!!
Lana – I wasn’t lying! I WILL make you eggs. And breakfast potatoes. I’M REALLY good at them.
I hope you two are sitting down for this..
You two just won my Spaz girls of the day.
Excellent video and Colbert is the King!
Are you available for parties? or funerals? wonderful ladies! Loved it!
How do you not have your own reality show?? Seriously, you need to get PAID for the shit you do.
Maxie: Truth. You has it.
cavy: So much, darlin. Can't wait for THIS weekend!
SLG: I will do everything in my power! Promise
Liz: I fixed it! Save the panties for next time…
Lil' Woman: It's fixed now… I's sorry!
Del-V: I am but a cog in the blogosphere, doing the Lord's work. I mean Maxie's. Same thing.
PQ, Shannon: Fixed! So sorry!
K @ Blog Goggles: I hope you mean that in an internet-y way. Because clearly that position should be reserved for, like, Kenny Powers.
Shop Girl*: Thank you, thank you.
Matt: So do I, love.
FoggyDew: We were still sober. The other videos are more… adventurous.
PQ: <3
sleepyjane: Thanks, love!
rambles@25: Oh, we took this VERY seriously. And so should Colbert. xoxo
Jules: It was a blast- thanks love!
Kate: YES, yes you do. It makes life so much more interesting.
moooooog35: I figured as much.
Fearless: I am taking it EASY these two weeks. Trust.
Kristina P: Oh HELLS yes. Except mine has sort of become a kitty-bed as of late…
hannahjustbreathe: You and me both, my dear. *Sigh*
jen – tsk: Dollar bills are accepted.
Serena: Also, see: Epic.
Bethie: Don't talk that way about my Stephen! xoxo
f.B: Now THAT is a quote. It should be your new blog tagline.
Marie: Twas
You need to come next time!
Lemmonex: It is so true. The laughtrack is priceless.
saratogajean: Dude, I'm pretty sure we're down for road-tripping it anywhere. NC is on the list.
Velvet: I have been thinking this as well lately…
Deutlich: YES to white water rafting! And DEFINITELY to Maxie!
PorkStar: It was a crazy ass night. Thanks for coming!
Kylie: Indiana's only a plane ride away… next time, darlin!
Shannon: I'm so proud.
Dr H: We twittered it at him… we will go to the next level if we have to… Stalking, of course.
Liebchen: Perfect for a Monday, no?
Hannah: I hope so! Speak up, Stephen! *throws panties*
Caroline: I've had it stuck in my head for two weeks. And I still LOVE it.
Alice: Come back and let me know if you squirted wine out your nose!
repliderium: Maybe there won't be a recap. My mugshot was HORRIBLE.
BeckEye: You are lame, but I forgive you. And the Pourhouse sucked monkey balls. Next time!
Lana: She's been promising me brunch for a while… come down so she has no excuse!
peterdewolf: We weren't gonna half ass it.
Christina: We Twittered it! We shall see…
Deutlich: That's what she said.
Dr Zibbs: Oh, I can't wait for this…
Hannah: Yes and yes. You can pay us in sex. I mean Snuggies. I mean cash money.
JoLee: Will you be my agent?
I can’t see the video at work
But I can see that you ladies are damn hot!
Wherever SHOULD = Seattle.
OR VegasonJuly9th.
you guys absolutely crack me up!
Awesome! SO jealous of you ladies! Looks like a whole lot of fun!!!!!
Yeah, I’m definitely a coward for writing anonymously. But in my defense, I don’t have a blog. So putting my name out here doesn’t really accomplish anything. Also, I don’t have swine flu, and for the record, I wasn’t trying to be insulting. I was just making a suggestion. Easy on the makeup ladies. Guys don’t really like it, and it makes you look like trashy whores, which having read the blogs, you ladies clearly aren’t. I would never come back but I enjoy this blog too much. See you soon.
Meghan: Thanks, love!
WickedCourtni: You whores and your Vegas funsies. Perhaps we should meet in the middle… North Dakota, here we come!
Hanako66: We do our best
Kelly: Next time you have to come!
Anonymous: Touche, my dear sir/madam. I will say again that the pic doesn’t do them justice and they looked fab, but the fact that we told you to choke on a dick and you handled it with such eloquency means you can hang. I believe I speak for all of us when I say you are forgiven. But for the future, pick a name, any name, so I know who I’m talking to. I tend to be more gentle.
Anon – thanks for clarifying. And for what it’s worth? I like chicks too. So.. if a boy can’t dig it. Oh well to them. ‘Sides. There’s no way in fuck I was going to let god-knows-how-many cameras take pictures of my pimply, blemished face.
I ain’t that brave.
Uh. No. Vegas or BUST!!!!!!!!!!!
I would gladly motorboat the lot of you.
you have to send this to him. I guarantee he would put this on air – then you could be seen by the literally hundreds of cable viewers!
can I tell you how jealous I was of you guys as I sat at the DRY wedding and saw my phone blowing up from all your awesome Tweets??
And I’m totally down for the white-water rafting trip…wet, wild and wonderful!
Damn my sound and video blocked clients. And thank you and Lemmonex for posting the same video. I’m teased from 2 ends. Will have to view late tonight.
Ha ha, great. I haven’t seen moves like that since Sparkle Motion.
Aren’t you just so precious? hahaha – that video was priceless. Thank you for sharing!
You guys may just be the greatest dancers I have EVER seen!
You two are ridiculous, ha.
Glad I waited until I got home to watch the video. That was full of the awesome sauce.
Sublime…
I can’t decide if this video makes me orgasm from happiness and laugher or if the lilu/cavy spooning and all the hottness makes me sob from jealousy.
I’m gonna go with the orgasm. More fun, obviously.
You guys are WAY hotter than Steven Colbert.
I’d still do him if I was gay, though.
Was that TMI?
The guyliner! This is pure brilliance.
What am I, like the 74th comment??? It’s like reading through a novel just to get down to this level…Guys, thanks for making Lana’s and my night super awesome, you ladies kick ass…and Deutlich, you owe me a shot, don’t think I forgot.
seriousl you guys are hilarious, i freakin love the video.
Okay, I know it’s probably been asked, but it’s almost 3am and I’m lazy so have pity because I’m not reading through 75 or so comments…which one of you crazyheads filmed that? Was that Lemmonex? Because she has like, the best laugh on the planet.
why am I not living on the East Coast again?? you all look beautiful…good times!
You guys are funny. I like the video, especially the laughing from the videographer.
road trips are awesome! You are all stylish and obviously not yet drunk….right?
Deutlich: If by “pimply” you mean “gorgeous caramel,” then yes.
WickedCourtni: You’re buying my plane ticket, I assume?
BWP: Right back atcha.
Narm: We twittered… not sure how else to go about it…
pithycomments: You were missed- and YES to WWR!
thebmt: So sorry! I hope you got to see it…
JFo: Sparkle Motion? Must google.
SoMi’s Nilsa: We couldn’t hide that from the world.
Kellie: Duh!
amindinmotown: Truth, my dear. TRUTH.
Lusty Reader: I love that phrase.
fiona: Thanks, love.
JPP: Can’t it be both? Jealous orgasms are the BEST.
Mike: It’s never TMI round here. You know this.
Children 90s: Both, right?
Brian: So great to meet you! And trust me, Deutlich always makes good on her word.
Katelin: Aw, thanks, chica!
inkpuddle: It was definitely Lemmonex, and YES, she does.
Bon Don: Move! Do it!
Blondie: The laughtrack makes it. It’s true.
Fizzgig: Believe it or not, that was stone cold sober.
No, but I got like $20 on gas!
LMFAO.
impressive. i’m blown away.
and maybe, just maybe, you also
made me sort of wet…..
LiLu it really is a shame that you’re so shy….
JEALOUS.
Why does no one come out to see me & make dancing love to me??
Colbert salutes you. Possibly with a stiffie.
