Went out to my porch to pick up a package only to hear a handful of teenage girls up the road singing Céline Dion‘s “My Heart Will Go On.”
Almost 30 years later, and that song still has a grip on society 🤣

Artwork used internally at DIC Entertainment during the production of the Super Mario World cartoon, replacing Marge Simpson with Mario. According to a former DIC employee, this was made due to an inside joke at the studio, though the exact nature of the joke has been lost.
