Who Is Joan Armatrading? Namedrops and Pop Culture References From Glee Season 2, Episode 15: "Sexy"

Namedrops abound on Glee. More often than not, a famous person's name is used as an insult to take someone down a peg or two — and that's something we totally support! To help you keep it all straight, we've compiled a list of the names and pop culture references deemed important enough to be dropped by Glee characters in “Sexy.” Did you catch them all?

Rachel: Finn is kryptonite, which is why I’m focusing all of my energies now on my songwriting.

Santana (to Brittany): So listen — how about you and I pop in some Sweet Valley High this evening, get our cuddle on.

Holly: Didn’t you ever read Jessica Seinfeld’s cookbook?

Brittany: I get my information from Woody Woodpecker cartoons.

Kurt: Don’t you think it’s time for the Warblers to do a Joan Armatrading medley?

Lauren: I wanna be like a Kardashian — I want a TV show and a fragrance.

Puck: If I wanna see Kim Kardashian being classy, I’ll watch E!.

Holly: My sex tape with J.D. Salinger was a disaster.

Holly: Still feel a little tingle when I hear Ani DiFranco.

Will: I’m trying to make Prince’s “Kiss” into a tango.

Holly (to Will): I’m damaged goods — yes, that makes me terrific in bed, but it also means I tend to break nice guys like you into Wasa crackers.

Emma: You get tensies for menses.

Emma: [“Afternoon Delight”] was written during the Bicentennial to celebrate America and fireworks.

Emma: We watch the Housewives shows, which are so, so racy.

Santana: And Brittany, I can’t go to an Indigo Girls concert — I just can’t.

Holly: Apparently, my cucumber demonstration made it impossible to watch VeggieTales the same way ever again.

Holly: Teaching Santana and Brittany how to get their Stevie Nicks on made me realize how closed off I’ve been.
