(god, high school.) when i was a junior, two of the seniors who did the drum thing were my friends, and for some reason they decided that at each game "come a little bit closer" must be sung and pounded out on the drum. this was 1997 mind you - wtf, why a one-hit wonder from the 60s, i have no idea. but it was such a random song for such an odd occasion that i can't hear it without thinking of sitting on cold metal bleachers and wearing big bulky sweaters and being 16.<br /><br />the end of my slightly relevant story :)kate.d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-11331594114781688342010-01-13T16:51:28.224-05:002010-01-13T16:51:28.224-05:00I love both those songs!

Because my dad played only opera and show tunes when we were growing up. And so I could sing every song from Evita and A Chorus Line, but had NO knowledge of popular music.

My dad played Willie Nelson tunes constantly when I was a kid and now I love the guy. Willie Nelson rocks. Tell me otherwise and I might cut you. So maybe *you* won't embarrass Jordan when he's older, his slightly inappropriately strong love for Barry Manilow will embarrass him.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602816507915795709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-70134012933861324802010-01-13T14:51:50.647-05:002010-01-13T14:51:50.647-05:00Hmm.
