The Whining Stranger's Song of the Day

23 June 2006



"Shout, Pt. 1" by The Isley Brothers (1962)

Keeping with the theme I began yesterday--tunes that will likely get ol' beer-drinkin' me out of my seat and onto the dance floor at tomorrow's wedding--here's another surefire bouncearound favorite. Like "Rock Lobster," this also has a section that invites dancers to get low-low-low to the ground. I'd better remember to stretch a bit before the DJ hits the mic.

So the band at my wedding played this song, and it was good, and it was fun. Then we glance over to see a childhood friend of my husband's on the floor, flopping around, and his girlfriend pulling on his arm to please get up off the floor. Then, suddenly, it became very, very funny. He finished dancing to the whole song, despite her obvious embarrassment, and thereafter was known as the "wild friend" to my family.

Something to shoot for.

While I'm not one for flopping, I certainly can handle being tagged as the "wild friend." The groom's family has already called me "a bad influence" in the past. Yikes.
