Being a US Citizen living outside the USA I get alot of interesting and sometimes StRAngE questions/comments on the USA from people in other countries. Thought I'd share some of them with you.

Musicality

Normally I'm the guy all my friends call when they want to know who sang what song. If it was 80's top 100 or even the 70's I had it down. I had a friend call me at around 4am one day;
"Who sang that song 'Rock me Amadeus'"?
"ZZZzzzzz" said I, "Falco. 1985. ZZzzz."
"Thanks dude!"
"Grumble...rrrhm...Zzzzzz"
I had no idea he called me until work the next day.

Remember that horribly kitchy song?

Ooo rock me Amadeus
Rock me Amadeus...
Rock rock rock rock me Amadeus
Rock me all the time to the top


Other nights:
"Favorite Shirt?"
ZZZzzzz Haircut 100

"Look of love?"
ABC...Zzzz

"If you leave?"
OM...zzz...D

Stay the Night?
Chicago....zzzzz

"Time after Time?"
Cyndi Lau...zzzzzz....per

Now, with that being said, there's a more recent song I wish to dedicate to all my friends in the USA I couldn't visit at Klinapalooza. I think of all of you whenever I listen to it! It should have been the theme for the recent get-together. (okay, ignore the part about a girls broken dreams, and just focus on the fact it's a funny-assed song!)

Woohoohoo
Woohoohoo

Debbie just hit the wall
she never had it all
one Prozac a day
husbands a CPA
her dreams went out the door
when she turned twenty four
only been with one man
what happen to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
she was gonna be a star
she was gonna shake her ass
on the hood of white snake’s car
her yellow SUV is now the enemy
looks at her average life
and nothing has been alright since

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
cuz she's still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

Woohoohoo
(1985)
Woohoohoo

She’s seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmo’s Fire
she rocked out to wham
not a big Limp Bizkit fan
thought she’d get a hand
on a member of Duran Duran


Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and who’s the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio was)

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
cuz she's still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

Woohoohoo

She hates time make it stop
when did Motley Crue become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop!
And bring back

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
cuz she's still preoccupied
with 1985

Woohoohoo

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV (woohoohoo)
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
cuz she's still preoccupied

That song does crack me up! Thankfully, I don't know anyone who's stuck in the 80's. In fact, I scored points with the eldest kender offspring for knowing the name of the band whose song he was playing and singing in the car. I'm WITH IT! Bwahahahahahaha

Okay, I'm afraid I qualify. I much prefer older music. Heck, Kelly even gave me a 80's hits CD. She knew.

Tee hee hee. It's not really accurate for most of us, though, because I don't want time to stop. I'm lovin' life, lovin' watching my kids go through the stages, really thriving... all they say about women hitting peaks in the 30's is dead on. Ask me again in ten years...
