Beautiful Morella is having an 80’s night. She is wearing this Flashdance-reminiscent outfit and playing all music from the 1980’s decade. Right now, the song is the 1982 version of “I Want Candy” performed by Bow Wow Wow. One of the guys in Morella’s chat room just made me feel old by asking Morella if she liked IRS Records and having her react like he was asking her about taxes. She eventually did come around to saying she did like a lot of acts on the record label, once he listed them off, which makes me happy. Wikipedia has a more exhaustive list of IRS Records bands and artists:

Oh dear, Morella is now unironically Rick-rolling us all. She says she likes Rick Astley and we can just deal with it. Got to take the disturbing with the awesome I guess. Morella is also baking cookies for some of the guys in her chat room and mailing them out, which almost makes up for the Rick roll.

Bow Wow Wow I Want Candy Lyrics
I know a guy who’s tough but sweet
He’s so fine
He can’t be beat
He’s got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fireI want candy
I want candyGo to see him when the sun goes down
Ain’t no finer boy in town
You’re my guy, just what the doctor ordered
So sweet
You make my mouth waterI want candy
I want candyCandy on the beach, there’s nothing better
But I like candy when it’s wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I’ll make you mine
Then I’ll have candy all the timeI want candy
I want candy
I want candy
I want candy
