There are so many reasons to love Staten Island, but this video may be the #1 reason to love Staten Island. Let it take you back to the early '90s, awkward dances, mom jeans, mock turtle necks, scrunchies, accents, perms, a tapered short pant... if it weren't for the Vanilla Ice track this could easily be the 1980s. Anyway, it's got everything... even a totally out-of-the-blue mention of an anti-abortion rally—which is apparently part of some weird Staten Island comedy routine.
