Moonlight Feels Right lyrics

… 'Cause southern belles are hell at night
You say you came to Baltimore from Ole Miss
Class of seven-four, gold ring
The eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss…

Bones from Star Trek and Julia Sugarbaker from Designing Women are Ole Miss grads.

And, of course, The Blind Side.

I remember this from the original series, and I'm going to say this is your winner. Completely random, yet perfectly placed brand advertisement.

Trying to think of something LSU-ish. Best I'm coming up with off the top of my head:

Woody Harrelson's character in White Men Can't Jump is from LSU, as I recall, and played ball for the Tigers. That's how he's able to game the brothers in LA, they think he's just some goofy white boy, when he's a former D-1 starter.

Sandra Bullock's character in A Time to Kill was an Ole Miss law student.
Emma Stone's character in The Help was an Ole Miss grad.
Oxford, Miss was a scene in The Heartbreak Kid, although it wasn't actually Oxford in the film.

Love, love, love this song! By Starbuck from Hotlanta G-A! Lead singer, Bruce Blackman, was from...MISSISSIPPI! One of the members (Wagner's his last name) just passed away out here a few years ago. He plays the marimba solo on this song....lordy, we're getting old.

Great memories, yeah...

Moonlight Feels Right!

In a less favorable light, Billy Joel includes us in his blitz through history in "We Didn't Start the Fire".
