I was going to edit a bit more, but I sorta enjoy the serendipity of the clip and the song being the same length.

Good morning friends. Let’s add some happy little modulation right here.

[djthumbpro]

Today was THE Good Day.

Listen: 'Today Was A Good Day' was released in 1993

"Went to Short Dog's house/ They was watching Yo MTV Raps" 'Yo MTV Raps' first aired in 1988

"The Lakers beat the Supersonics." LA beat Seattle 12 times between 1988 and 1993

"No barking from the dog, no smog..." "Even saw the lights of the Goodyear blimp..." Only 4 of the Laker wins were on days with little to no air pollution.

"Got a beep from Kim..." "Halfway home and my pager's still blowing up" Pagers weren't adopted until 1990, eliminating 2 of those days.

Because Ice Cube was filming 'Boyz In The Hood' in 1991 and couldn't possibly have the time play dice & dominoes at Short Dog's house the only day that fits all of the criteria is January 20, 1992.

Happy Good Day Day Everyone.

I think one of the noblest endeavors humanity could undertake on this day would be to pool our collective resources and, with great respect and reverence, launch the earthly remains of David Robert Jones out of our planetary orbit into the deepest interstellar space. Then, as he shrugs himself free of the bonds of our gravitational pull, hurling into the great abyss navigating only by the forces the universe would impose on him, we could forever embrace his immortality and the world, united as one, would be able to proclaim proudly until the end of time.....Bowie's In Space.
