STUNT FACT: "Light Up My Room" is about people who are attached to things that can be harmful to them; @edrobertson gives the example of Love Canal: "People fiercely hold on to a place that is their home, even though it's slowly killing them". #StuntIs20 pic.twitter.com/CQOe8OZwgR

STUNT FACT: The reference to being named employee of the month at Wendy's is an actual achievement of @edrobertson's that he included in the song – he was employee of the month there in 1985! #StuntIs20 pic.twitter.com/mvnnViBl8u
