#031: Jay Allen, creator of Fabulous Secret Powers (aka HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA)
27/01/2016 Duration: 01h39minThis week, we get fabulous. Back in the early days of the Internet, Jay Allen created a mash-up of the song "What's Up?" (by 4 Non-Blondes) and the cartoon show, He-Man. Like the One Ring, it was lost for years... until some gollum of a YouTuber found it and uploaded it in 2010. Since then, it has sparked memes, websites, re-inactments, remixes, and one hilarious story. Today, we learn that story.
