    1. She’s won two Grammys for her music, but it seems she will always be best known for Wayne’s World.

    2. “That bass player’s a babe. She makes me feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class”

    3. I chewed up my Invisalign retainer tripping balls watching the minotaur episode of relic hunter back in the day.

    4. The Wayne’s World soundtrack was one of my three favorite movie soundtracks as a kid (along with Coneheads and The Crow, which is still my favorite soundtrack album). So when Tia Carrere released a full-length album, it was a shut up and take my money situation. And then I listened to it and just went, “what the hell is this?” I still contend she could have made major bank if she had capitalized on Wayne’s World and released a rock album, and she has a fantastic voice for rock.

      Not trying to trash-talk Tia or anything (and she’s apparently found a musical niche, winning a couple Grammies for Hawaiian music), just that I coincidentally had this exact thought the other day and this reminded me of it.

    5. **She’s a fox**. In French, she would be called La Renard and she would be hunted with only her cunning to protect her. She’s a babe. She’s a robobabe!
