Bookended by Cats was named after Milo and Otis. They are the short, orange, and furry brothers who, upon entering our lives in 2003, often bookended us on our couch. And who are we? We're a geek couple living in PA. We love music, movies, TV, comics, books, and comic cons. And, from time to time, we'll share our thoughts on these nerdy things.

That's So 90s: Yakety Yak (Take It Back)


That's So 90s: Yakety Yak (Take It Back)

When Earth Day rolls around this year, it will be celebrating its 55th anniversary. Less auspicious, perhaps, is that 2025 is also the 34th anniversary of "Yakety Yak (Take It Back)." MTV premiered the music video on National Recycling Day, April 10, 1991 (34 years ago today!). For this music video, the Take It Back Foundation retooled the classic Coasters song, "Yakety Yak," and created a public service announcement with a message about recycling.
