Lubalin - Internet Drama part 2 (She Stole My Broccoli) 2020

Lubalin is a Canadian singer, musician, and video producer from Montreal, Quebec. He was initially a R&B/pop musician before his production of humorous videos attracted wider attention. His 2020 series of internet drama videos attracted over 5 million followers and over 200 million views, and got him invited on to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Lubalin is signed with record label Cult Nation. He also worked as a producer and songwriting collaborator on labelmate Charlotte Cardin's 2023 album 99 Nights, for which he was a dual Juno Award nominee for Songwriter of the Year and Producer of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2024.

In the first video in his internet drama series, he took an old screenshot shared to the OldPeopleFacebook subreddit and morphed it into a moody (and suddenly very dramatic) two-person ballad. In the screenshot turned song, an inquiry for a home rental quickly spirals into confusion and threats to contact the attorney general. "That whole week was kind of, can you do it again or was this a fluke?" said Lubalin. "And then I did it again." In his second TikTok in the series, which Lubalin said was inspired by the 1980s sound of the Weeknd, he made an electronica dance track featuring a woman complaining that her broccoli casserole recipe had been stolen by another and passed off as her own. That song has been seen even more times than the first.

As for the woman angry over the broccoli casserole recipe, it doesn't appear she is actually a real person. A 37-year-old elementary school teacher in Texas was role-playing as Helen Hywater in the Facebook group "A group where we all pretend to be boomers" back in March 2020 when she posted the broccoli status and began interacting with Doris, who she said was another role-player. She said that after going viral their accounts were subsequently suspended for pretending to be other people.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia 1994

Philadelphia is a 1993 American legal drama film starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. Filmed on location in its namesake city, it tells the story of attorney Andrew Beckett (Hanks) who comes to ask a personal injury attorney, Joe Miller (Washington), to help him sue his former law firm, who fired him after discovering he was gay and that he had AIDS. Philadelphia is one of the first mainstream Hollywood films not only to explicitly address HIV/AIDS and homophobia, but also to portray gay people in a positive light. It premiered in Los Angeles on December 14, 1993 in a benefit for the AIDS Project. It grossed $206.7 million worldwide, becoming the 9th highest-grossing film of 1993. In 2025, the film was selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."

"Streets of Philadelphia" is a song written and performed by American rock musician Bruce Springsteen. Released as a single in February 1994, the song was a hit in many countries, topping the singles charts of Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, and Norway.

George Michael - Outside 1998

"Outside" is a song by the English singer-songwriter George Michael, released on 19 October 1998 as the lead single from his first greatest hits album, Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael (1998). It reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Michael's most recent UK top-three hit. In Greece, Hungary, and Spain, the song peaked at number one, number three in Italy, number four in Denmark, number five in Iceland, number seven in Ireland, and number eight in Finland. It reached number three on the Eurochart Hot 100 and the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, number 11 in New Zealand, and number 13 in Australia.

"Outside" was Michael's first single since his arrest for engaging in a lewd act six months earlier, in April 1998, by an undercover police officer in the public toilet of the Will Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills, California – an incident that prompted him to declare his homosexuality, which had been rumoured for some years but never publicly confirmed. He was sentenced to 80 hours of community service for the offence.

The satirical music video shows couples engaging in lewd public activities while Michael, dressed as a police officer, dances in a public toilet. Before the song starts properly, the video begins with a parody of a 1970s European pornography film with a short passage of narration in Swedish. Marcelo Rodriguez, the undercover officer who had arrested Michael, claimed the video "mocked" him and filed a legal suit for $10 million. While the matter was initially dismissed, the California Courts of Appeal reinstated the case on 3 December 2002. The judgement ruled that Rodriguez, as a public official, could not legally recover damages for emotional distress.

"Outside" received a total of 55,6% yes votes. Previous Wham!/George Michael polls: #62 "As", #108 "Everything She Wants", #219 "Freedom! '90", #444 "Do They Know It's Christmas?", #445 "Last Christmas", #690 "Jesus to a Child", #716 "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go".

All Dogs Go to Heaven is a 1989 animated film directed by Don Bluth. Set in New Orleans in 1939, it tells the story of Charlie B. Barkin, a German Shepherd who is murdered by his business partner Carface Caruthers. Despite not having done any good lifetime deeds Charlie is automatically sent to Heaven. He is then greeted by Annabelle who explains to him that because dogs are inherently good and loyal, all dogs go to Heaven and are entitled to paradise. Taking advantage of her kindness, Charlie cheats death by stealing a pocket watch representing his life and winding it back. When Charlie returns to Earth, he and his friend Itchy plots revenge on Carface in the form of a rivaling business. They soon discover that Carface's success has been from a kidnapped young orphan girl named Anne-Marie (voiced by Judith Barsi in her final film role before her tragic murder in 1988) for her ability to talk to animals, which proves helpful when betting on races. Intending to use her for his own gain as Carface did, he instead befriends her and learns an important lesson about kindness, friendship and love.

On its cinema release, it competed directly with Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid, released on the same day. On its theatrical release, the film was only moderately successful as its performance fell short of the studio's previous box-office successes, grossing $27 million in North America alone, just over half of what An American Tail and The Land Before Time each took. This would be Bluth's final box office hit until Anastasia was released eight years later in 1997, which ended up becoming his highest-grossing film. All Dogs Go to Heaven however was successful on home video, becoming one of the biggest-selling VHS releases ever. It was followed by a theatrical sequel, a television series, and a holiday direct-to-video film.
