Roland Orzabal 

Perhaps THE most underrated male vocalist of all-time, Roland Orzabal is one of the two founding members of the stupendous "New Wave/Pop-Rock" band Tears For Fears, along with Curt Smith. Tears For Fears made such hits as "Mad World," "Shout," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and "Sowing the Seeds of Love," as any 80's music fan knows.

What people may not know is that Mr. Orzabal continued to kick ass as Tears For Fears after Curt Smith's departure in 1991, with the albums "Elemental" (1993), "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" (1995), and the B-side collection album "Saturnine, Martial & Lunatic" (1996), all of which feature Orzabal's stupendous vocal range and criminally underrated guitar-playing.

Mr. Orzabal followed these up with a badass Electronic album, "Tomcats Screaming Outside" (2001), before reuniting with Curt Smith, and releasing yet another masterpiece "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending" (2004) as Tears For Fears, with Orzabal's signature wide-range vocals throughout.

30 years in the business, and lots of people still don't know who Roland Orzabal is. Now you know.
Person 1: "Roland Orzabal has to be in the Top 10 singers of all time."

Person 2: "Who the hell is Roland Orzabal?"

Person 1: "The dude from Tears For Fears."

Person 2: "Aren't there 2 dudes in Tears For Fears?"

Person 1: "Yeah, he's the one that kept the name going in the 90's."

Person 2: "Tears For Fears was around in the 90's?"

Person 1: "How do you know there were 2 dudes in Tears For Fears and not know they were around in the 90's?"

Roland is a really nice , handsome, carrying , loving boy , if you ever meet a boy named Roland never let him go , he can be really nice and lovely but when you meet his bad side he can be crazy don’t get on the bad side of a Roland , Every girl want a Roland but not every one can have one so if you have a Roland keep him don’t let any girl take him , Roland would travel for hours just to see his girl friend , he has the biggest heart ever .

JENNA
O-M-G Chlo, answer me
Woah, wait until I tell you what I heard!
It's too FUCKED to type, this shit is ripe
Call back, I'll yell you every word

CHLOE
Jenna Roland calling
Ugh, Jenna Roland calling...
Jenna Roland calling...

Hey!

JENNA
Ohmygod- Ohmygod-
Okay, so!
At the end of last night's party
Very end of last night's party
Did you see Rich?

CHLOE
Oh I saw Rich

JENNA
So he's behaving hazy like a tweaking junkie
Flailing crazy like a freaking monkey

CHLOE
He's gotta learn to handle his high
Shouldn't drink so much for a small guy

JENNA
Right, but, he wasn't drunk

CHLOE
The hell you say, Jenna?

JENNA
Yo, he wasn't drunk!

CHLOE
The hell you say, Jenna?

JENNA
No! Because I heard from Dustin Kropp
That Rich had barely touched a drop
Which means that you can't blame the things he did on alcohol
It's just so terrible, I don't want to relive it all
But do you want me to tell you?

CHLOE
Spit it out! Spit it out!

JENNA
You really want me to tell you?

CHLOE
Spit it out! Spit it out!

JENNA
I'll tell you 'cause you are my closest friend!

CHLOE
No I'm not?

JENNA
Yeah, I know
But here's what happened at the party's end

Rich set a fire and he burned down the house! (Woah)
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house! (Woah)
I thought I was dreaming
Everybody was screaming!
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
So, Jenna Roland said Madeline told Jake...

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
