I showed this to Julian and we both laughed so hard, despite his lack of knowledge of both He Man and 4 Non Blondes:
And then I showed him the real music video by 4 Non Blondes so he could hear the song and know that it was a pretty happening song for me when I was in middle school.
Here are some of the things he said while the video was playing:
"Are these white people?"
"Are they dead? How old is this?"
"That lead singer looks like Michael Jackson. So much."
"Wait, they're all girls? No. They're not girls. At least two of them are boys."
"She's crazy looking. She has crazy eyes."
*****edited to add that I totally forgot that he asked if they were all midgets, and he was horrified that the lead singer was wearing boxer shorts. Fun times!

Oh. Word. There are so many things I love about this post. The video. Julian's comments about it.
I let Milo and Oliver watch old reruns of He Man and the following things happened:
1. Oliver wields everything as a sword to the sky and says, "By the power of preschool!" (not GraySkull)
2. Milo thinks to be tough you have to be really tan.
3. Suddenly loincloths are manly again.
Those tidbits are all so fantastic!! Remember the crazy loincloths? I used to be so puzzled why he was always wearing furry underwear on the outside of his tights.
So funny. I was a crazy He-Man fan... crazy. Not only did I own castle GraySkill as well as Skeletor's Snake Mountain but I even was obsessed with Shera (his sister) and had her Chrystal Palace. As a budding architect I recognized that the dwellings were key.
Only Jem and the Holograms rivaled my He-Man love... When I remember stuff like that I question my disdain for having my baby own ugly 'character' toys. No worries though, soon enough he'll be old enough to set me straight :)
The best and cutest and funniest part of this are Julian's comments.
I just realized Linda Perry was the original steam punker.
