Dave Holmes Charts the Modern Rock Hits of February 1994

We guess not wanting to hawk tuah a 78-year-old wrinkly presidential nominee and recently convicted felon makes you a political figure now.

You might think that Kelly Clarkson, queen of Kellyoke covers, would be good at Name That Tune, or at least specifically at naming her own tune, or at the very least at recognizing the opening riff of her most famous tune, “Since U Been Gone.” But no! She is not as good as Anne Hathaway. In fact, watching the above clip, it seems that nobody will ever be as good as Anne Hathaway at naming that tune because there are just a few things that are certain about Anne Hathaway: She actually goes by Annie, she loves to sing, and she loves to win.
