Thousands of sparkling lights, and electro-synthe-magnetic musical sounds!

A recent post by Blobby triggered a memory recall for me that made me think of the Main Street Electrical Parade at Walt Disney World.

I grew up about 30 miles from the Magic Kingdom. I remember going a few times with the extended family, and most of what I remember was the Main Street Electrical Parade. The lights. The music. I loved it.

Oddly enough, I have this song on my iPod, where every now and again it shuffles it’s way into play. And I grin from ear to ear.

Memories.

Until next time...

14 Years Ago Today

Happy 14th Anniversary, Husbear.
It’s difficult to believe it’s been fourteen years.
Mostly because it hasn’t felt like fourteen years.
I know that love takes work.
And time.
A lifetime, to be exact.

I love you so much.

Press play on the video, then scroll down and read along.

I was walking, was living,
My melody was a capella.
There’s a beat I was missing,
No tune, or a scale, I could play.

No sound in the distance,
No orchestra playing together.
Like a boat out to sea,
The silence was too deafening!

So come and revive me,
I can’t feel my heartbeat,
It’s just me surviving alone.

Before you,
My whole life was a capella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing.
Before you,
My whole life was a capella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing.

Everything was the same.
One color was just like the others.
An assembly routine,
My memories were all black and white.

‘Till I stopped over-thinking,
Decided to draw back the curtains.
And I cleared all the cobwebs
And began to let in the light.

So come and revive me,
I can’t feel my heartbeat,
It’s just me surviving alone.

Before you,
My whole life was a capella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing.
Before you,
My whole life was a capella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing.

You are the drum in my heart beat
Bass and guitar lead
Stuck on the notes you play
My heart that you play on
Grab like a crayon
I can’t walk away.

Before you,
My whole life was a capella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing.
Before you,
My whole life was a capella!
Now a symphony’s
The only song to sing.



Here’s the original song the above was taken from. I actually like the visuals in the video. They’re very much something you would like.

I do love you. So much.
Happy anniversary baby.

Until next time...

Perform This Way

When I was a wee lad, I was notorious for re-writing songs. I totally thank Weird Al for that. (I still have his first four albums… on vinyl!) I still remember the first time I heard his parody of Toni Basil’s “Hey Mickey” called “Ricky”. And thus began my obsession with making up my own lyrics to popular songs. And I love every sing polka medley he ever did. Because I’m weird like that.

I’m guessing most of you have probably seen this video since it was released last week, but I keep giggling when I think about it. Because I love Weird Al. And that’s what he does. After I hear one of his parodies, I no longer ever hear the original song in my head.

I love the hat-tip to Madonna at the 1:20-ish and the 1:50-ish marks.

And that is how I expect drag queens to dress.

Until next time...
