More than 25 years after she rose to fame with her parody song "Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun," '80s pop icon and comedian Julie Brown is still acting, writing and finding new celebs to make fun of.

Brown spoke to TVGuide.com about her latest role on the ABC sitcom "The Middle" (Wed, 8/7c).





How did you end up on "The Middle"?

They brought me in to do this one little bit in the Halloween episode, but they said from the beginning, it's probably going to be bigger.

Then they said, "OK, now we're going to have you back to establish you as the neighbor."





What can tease about the episode?

This whole generation of parents -- I'm guilty of it too -- does too much for their kids. They have a whole episode where the adults are saying we have to make these kids do stuff for themselves.

So we're all out and I'm having fun and then say, "I have to go home. My daughter's texting me and wants me to help her with her homework," and they're like, "No, forget it. We have to take back our lives," and I hang up on my daughter.
