U.N. BABY BABY, BABY BABY. . .

Spot-on depiction of a diplomatic meeting -- check

Proper 80's music reference -- check

UK messing up the vibe --  check

Yep, it's been a while, but I got me a new Official Theme Song / Video

 Pass that resolution real good

HISTORIC, IF PITCHY

They said it would never happen.

They said it couldn't be done.

They said it shouldn't be done.

They said a lame lawyer, dorky diplomat with social anxiety disorder and a total lack of musical talent would never sing in public at an office birthday libre, much less choose the Eraserheads' "Shake Yer Head" because he thinks the song has "diplomatic undertones".

And yet...here we are.

Historic indeed.

Yes we can.

Si se puede.

Ang kapal ng mukha mo.

NEW OFFICIAL THEME SONG / VIDEO

It's like people actually make these videos with me in mind



It's good to be The Manny.

AND I THANK YOU...FOR BRINGING ME HERE

I wasn't really looking for one, but I think I found this Blog's official theme song/video. It brings together my affinity for 80's bands (lame) and sci-fi shows (dorky), while subtly alluding to the "travel-to-far-off-and-strange-lands-only-heightens-one's-sense-of-home" undercurrent of the foreign service, as well as the "destruction-of-the-human-race-is-imminent" theme of the legal profession.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: "Scenes from Battlestar Galactica set to Depeche Mode's 'Home'"

If it were up to me, every career diplomat's retirement party would have this montage. And karaoke.
