her Motown, you Motley Crue

basically, it's another reference to a May-December romance where the woman is quite a bit older than the man. This is also referred to a "Mrs. Robinson" love affair, because of the movie "The Graduate" where Dustin Hoffman's character falls in love with his girlfriend's mother.

The marriage of Demi and Ashton is a case of "her Motown, you Motley Crue".

Motown Therapy

Cinematic cliche, most often (but not exclusively) seen in chick flicks, where several characters get through an emotional crisis through singing, lip-synching, or dancing to an old Motown song.

...and then, just when you think Julia Roberts will never reconcile with the girls, the script throws in some Motown Therapy to save the day.

Mobdown

When playing football and the offensive team is in the red zone. They all get into a giant cluster, or mob, and then the mob makes it into the end zone, causing a mob-touchdown or “mobdown.”

The team ran a mobdown to finish their drive, resulting in a touchdown.

The love affair and shacking up of Cindy, 54 and Steve, 28 is a classic case of "her Motown, you Motley Crue ".
