I have no idea what this EUPHORIA is that you’re referring to, but hot damn do I love a bar in a mall.

One of my weed dealers had one, I remember that.

I don’t remember either way, not sure why I asked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Closest answers, though? Recorded… probably on tv/film/in music sometime in the 80s or 90s. Heard it the first time in person early in college, but can’t remember where was the first. Late 1990s.

In person, or recorded / on film/ on tv?
