14 Reasons Ritchie Valens Remains A Rock 'N Roll Legend
Come on, let’s go.
His music stands the test of time.
Ritchie Valens died on February 3rd, 1959, his career lasting mere months (he was signed to Del-Fi Records on May 27, 1958), but his music still resonates today.

He wrote "Donna," which is probably the single sweetest tribute to a high school love.
The perfect song for slow-dancing while staring deep into someone's eyes, "Donna" was written for Ritchie's real-life girlfriend, Donna Ludwig. Sigh.

You can't listen to "Come On, Let's Go" without wanting to dance.
Go on, try it. See? It's science.

He took a traditional song, "La Bamba," and made it all his own.
Valens transformed a traditional Mexican folk song into the stuff of rock 'n roll legend.

Fifth Harmony May Have Found Its Long-Lost Sixth Member
I guess you could say she came in like a sledgehammer?
During a live performance of "Sledgehammer" by Fifth Harmony on the Today Show, a woman in the crowd was caught giving it her all in an unsolicited audition to become the girl band's sixth member.
Without an X-Factor judge present to formally critique the performance, a security guard stepped in for Simon Cowell, killing the woman's ~flow~ mid-arm wave.

This Studio Footage Of The Spice Girls Will Make You Miss The '90s
Are you as good as I remember, baby? Sporty: “YES I AM.”
Here is a screengrab from video of the Spice Girls in 1996. They're in a church that appears to have been converted into a recording studio, where they're working on "2 Become 1."
It seems a bit dubious that this "rare" footage is of the actual recording session seeing as the girls spend most of the song goofing off.
And there's a professional camera crew catching it all...
And there's also what appears to be a group of school children watching it all. Which, I mean, is amazing and I am jealous.
Regardless, it's mesmerizing just to hear the group having fun and see them acting weird.
The husband store
A store that sells new husbands has opened in town, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
