...can take you by surprise if you, like me, haven't been paying attention for awhile.
Take last night. I hosted a group of six college girls, rained out of a camping trip, and gave them a place to stay for the night. Wipe that disgusting leer off your face; one of them is the daughter of friends of long standing and I've known her since she was a baby. The others were perfectly nice young ladies.
They arrived about ten o'clock carrying several cases of beer. They settled in the living room upstairs, set up a laptop to play music, and seemed to be behaving themselves. So I went downstairs to watch a DVD of "No Country For Old Men". Every now and then I could hear them singing along with their music.
At 2:00 AM, just as the movie was ending, they began to sing, at the top of their lungs:
You know, when I think of popular songs, I think of Lennon & McCartney, or even Burt Bacharach...
Anyway, my choice of a movie was an ironic comment to the evening.
Well, this morning they cleaned up all the trash and beer bottles and took it away with them and the house is spotless.
But if their mothers had heard them last night, those girls would be grounded 'til they were 25!

Boom! I f***ed your boyfriend!
I f***ed your man.
Boom! I f***ed your boyfriend!
I f***ed your man.
Boom! I f***ed your boyfriend!
I f***ed your man.
Boom! I f***ed your boyfriend!
He put it in!

LOL- yeah, their selection of songs is NOT ours...
ReplyDeleteI remember some from college days. Bang Away On Lulu was popular, but had an amazing amount of verses.
ReplyDeleteI also knew a guy who could recite the complete poem of The Ballad of Eskimo Nell, but that is a different story.
