The Office and The Grass Roots

The Drew Carey Show-inspired cold opening to The Office season premiere was goofy as hell but I loved it, in particular it giving a nod to the fact that in real life, Creed was in The Grass Roots. To this day I have yet to hear a Grass Roots song I don't like.

From an Old Xmastime Sunday Brunch Hour:

Where Were you When I Needed You – The Grass Roots
When I was a kid my neighbor had an 8-track of the Grass Roots’ greatest hits, which were endless. Was a shock years later when I found out they weren’t actually a group, but rather a studio creation like many of the bubblegum hits of the jour. Side note: that neighbor’s father once duct-taped my mouth shut to shut me up during a NASCAR race on tv. How fucking awful is that? Seriously, making a kid sit through a fucking NASCAR race? Where there NO child abuse laws back then?!??!??!?!!
