Well Planet Earth, as I am sure you all already know (probably the martians too; at least the ones who watch network television), today is a big day for My Dear Disco and the world, yes: My Dear Disco is actually literally unbelievably officially famous (as determined by the Universal Association of International Fame Board).
.
Ever since our song “My Dear Disco” was used in a promotional commercial for Melrose Place’s Episode 9 (Season One of the new Melrose Place apparently), everything has changed for us. The grass is greener, the sky is bluer, and we have a much greater appreciation for the potential drama inherent in our music.
.
I know, I know what your probably thinking: “What in the world must their families think now that these boys and lady are famous?!”
.
Well here is what they think:
Exhibit 1:
Did they have the rights to use this song? If not you have a very clear and good case for copyright infringement. Did I ever tell the story about this dude from my highschool whose song was illegally used in a Chryster commercial? He went to the bank on that one. But I guess its also flattering, right?
Peace.

Exhibit 2:

Exhibit 3:
–it’s so awesome. do you see that someone {from the youtube comments} wants to know what the song is? please write back to them…love, mom and dad–we are so proud of all of you!!! your big break!!!!!

Exhibit 4:
