Why I wanted to learn how to do the Beat It dance....it might give you the urge to learn too!

At work today we were a little bored, and what do you do when you are bored.....go on YOUTUBE! We were talking about old songs and dances and all the crazy crap people post on Youtube. When you start the youtube convo everyone tries to one up everyone by having the best video. When one of the DFS workers walked by our cubicle she was askin folks to "teach her how to dougie..." My workmate then made the statement, "Man, I need to learn how to Dougie" and she proceeded to find a good video on youtube to teach her just that. Then I suggested that we look at the Carlton Dougie video. As we were all watching it we were talking about how much we LOVED Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Then, my other co-worker started asking all of us if we used to watch the Jamie Foxx show. Of course I said yes and she began talking about her favorite episode which happens to be mine also! She suggested we watch the video when Jamie had to move in with Braxton and they got on each others nerves so much Braxton and Jamie put a line down the middle of the apartment. Right before Jamie moved out their fighting came to a climax and the only way to settle their beef was through....a DANCE BATTLE!!! They brought out the old school and even the riverdance but how do you settle most dance battles? With a Michael Jackson dance of course!

Now tell me that didn't make you want to get up and do a little Michael LOL!

Always On Time

I have been so busy but I GOTTA get back to posting so.....today's Throwback Thursday song is.... Always On Time by Ja Rule ft. Ashanti! I love this so so so much. It's the song that IS high school. Every time I hear it I think about taking my friends to school in the morning and blasting it through the speakers of my little Pontiac Sunbird. Or, wishing every one of my classes could be taught by the best teacher I ever had, Tom Diab! Both Ja Rule and Ashanti have come and gone but this song will always be apart of the fabric of my being.

My favorite Jimmy Fallon parody....that took me FOREVER to find!

I'm posting a small blurb just because I love this Jimmy Fallon song that he did on SNL weekend update 2002 for the Winter Olympics. I thought about it recently and I searched and searched for it. It's not even on the SNL DVD that season. Thank GOODNESS someone had it up but I had to search far and wide for it. Now all of you....but mostly I, can now enjoy it for eternity since it is on my blog. My favorite part of the song is "Thaw Out" the parody of Ludacris' "Rollout" cuz it is so true...Black Folks do not do winter...let alone winter sports lol.

Double Duty Thursday

So....I missed last week so I'm going to try to make it up but sharing a memory that has two...count em...two throwback songs in them that are completely different from each other which is really cool! Back in April of 1997 my parents took my brother, my friend Melissa, and I to the opening of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. It was awesome because it was a school night and that meant we were able to stay up late! My mom took us to the mall after school and she bought us each two cassingles (cassette singles lol)! I thought I had died and gone to heaven because I had to beg my parents to buy me music! I cant remember the singles that Melissa chose but I remember the two that I picked. The first song I picked was Puff Daddy and Mase "Cant Nobody Hold Me Down" I know every word that that song, it is my favorite song that they did together.

The other song that I picked was Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing" That is another song that stops me dead in my tracks and I can move until it is over. It takes me right back to 1997. I remember hating the song for the longest and then I just couldn't get enough of it. I know I dont have my Puff Daddy single anymore but I think that I still have my Duncan Sheik single. If I find it I will post it.

This was a great time, we got some amazing music, went to an amazing museum opening, and got to stay up SUPER late!
