'Superstition' for Friday the 13th and Blame Someone Else Day

Happy Friday the 13th and Blame Someone Else Day! I begin with a song I associate with today, but have never used on this blog before, Stevie Wonder - Superstition (Live on Sesame Street) (HQ).


I didn't know this performance existed until I searched for a live version. Wow! I think I'll be using versions of this song on future Friday the 13th entries.

The first Friday the 13th of every year, which some years is also the only Friday the 13th, is Blame Someone Else Day and I found just the video for it, 20th Century Fox logo (National Blame Someone Else Day edition).

On the first Friday the 13th of the year, there is a national day where people blame someone else for bad luck, hence the name. It was on this day 40 years ago in 1982 that an alarm clock failed to go off, hence creating a domino effect of bad luck events.

To tie in with 2022's first Friday the 13th, I made a special version of the 20th Century Fox logo from the movie Krabat (the storm clouds in that version of the 20th Century Fox logo might be one of the bad luck). I used the percussion of the 1997 TCF fanfare, but added something special to mark the occasion. Yep, it's a melodica cover of the 20th Century Fox fanfare, ripped straight from the Family Guy episode All About Alana.

That's a great preview image! It's also a wrap for today's sort-of holidays. Stay tuned for Flag Day.
