I’m watching High School Musical for the first time, and I am overwhelmed.

I nearly lost my entire dinner when troy broke into song--a song called something to the effect of "get cha head in the game"--while doing basketball drills

Ok, the movie has been going for an hour and it is still "two weeks until the big game"

"this school is about more than young men in baggy shorts flinging balls for touchdowns" is a BAR

Was "Troy Bolton" a cool name in 2006?

It was hard for me to put myself back together after seeing Ryan Evans for the first time

The song "What I've Been Looking For" sounds like FFH circa 2003

When you are on the basketball team in High School Musical, you must carry a basketball around the hallways at all times

Glee is almost certainly a spin-off of High School Musical, right? Right?!

Ashley Tisdale is the engine that makes this show go.

Also, Ashley Tisdale's outfits every time she walks on screen:

"When There Was Me and You" is a ballad Gary LeVox from Rascal Flatts would have sung the heck out of in 2005.
