I know I know… The prompt said a song I love… But this song isn’t necessarily my theme song of the week… or month… in fact it gets stuck in my head and wraps itself in there until everything I am doing (Walking, talking, dancing, doing dishes… washing in the shower ha!) gets done in rhythm.
Smallest child sings it everywhere… We sing it together at the top of our lungs while grocery shopping… we dance to it in the car… I sing it to Small child and Mr. Amazing just to hear their groans of disbelief that yet again it is going to be stuck in their heads…
My Christian (its his name… and his spiritual belief all wrapped up in one) bemoans it … and I post yet another MEME on his wall quoting it
My Day Job (The place I go to earn a living… while I wait to be discovered and become a renowned… well anything) did a cover of it with all kinds of cheesy dance moves… some including a forklift… and so I bring to you… Call me Maybe!
I threw a wish in the well,
Don’t ask me, I’ll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you’re in my way
Are there even real wells anymore? Okay, I am sure there are! But not anywhere I have been. and she’s not a princess in a Disney movie, She is no Snow White.
I’d trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I don’t know the value of a soul, But I am willing to bet it is worth more than a wish for a kiss… you’re sounding a bit easy
I wasn’t looking for this,
But now you’re in my way
What do you mean you weren’t looking for this? All you have done is sing about looking for this! Did you forget?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here’s my number,
So call me, maybe?
It’s hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here’s my number,
So call me, maybe?
It’s hard to look right at him? What is he? Someone has been drinking from the crazy sauce
And all the other boys,
Try to chase me,
But here’s my number,
So call me, maybe?
Other boys are chasing you… But you want the one you cannot stand to look at? Daddy Issues
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
But still, you’re in my way
He gave you nothing and he’s in your way… in your way of what exactly? This makes so little sense I want to punch you in the face
Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But here’s my number,
So call me, maybe?
That’s it! I’m sick of this maybe business… Do you want him to call you or not? This relationship has so much drama before it’s even begun… I hope he never calls you because the break up song for this will be UNBEARABLE! (Taylor Swift get to writing it! Pronto!)
me: I vote we go pick up Indian together when you get home…. I shaved my legs this morning
Mr. Amazing: you shaved, so we should go to Indian? trying to understand the logic
What would have happened if you didn’t shave?
me: Noooooo …. listen… If I tell you I shaved my legs… Im hitting on you
Mr. Amazing: if I tell you that I shaved my legs, I am hitting on you?
me: Yes!
Mr. Amazing: And I shaved my legs haphazardly with my fingernails, how hot is that?
me: Uhhhh okay… I think my leg hair is growing in.
Mr. Amazing: wha? already? damn it
me: I am left speechless
Mr. Amazing: Well the alternative is I get take out and then eat Indian at home, or just not get take out at all
me: Noooo I decided last week … And you ate onions
Mr. Amazing: As it should be
me: It was a disaster
Mr. Amazing: yes, and they were wonderful
me: Oniongate 2012
Mr. Amazing: lol I don’t want to think about it, I was so sick
me: Soooo this whole thing is on you, Maybe you don’t even want Indian, You were super sick
Mr. Amazing: Indian it is
me: or even Himalayan kitchen if you want?
Mr. Amazing: You like Indian better
me: Actually I’m good for a change, as long as what ever you bring me is super crazy spicy
Mr. Amazing: Indian it is
me: … it all sounds equally good, as long as its hot, I kinda want the chicken… I might be delirious
Mr. Amazing: Okay, chicken? seriously? do you want to think about that?
me: No, it sounds good
Mr. Amazing: let’s go through this
me: But it has to be melt my face off hot
Mr. Amazing: first bite… good
second bite… good
me: LMAO!
Mr. Amazing: third bite… okay
fourth bite… meh
fifth bite… gross
me: I wanna eat it
Mr. Amazing: (first bite)
me: ROTFLMAO!
Mr. Amazing: so… chicken?
me: Yeah!
Mr. Amazing: Uh huh
me: Hot!
Mr. Amazing: I am not ordering until 30 mins before I leave, so let me know if that changes
hot
yes
me: I dont think I slept well last night… My eyes are leaky and I think this is all very funny
The Smalls LOVED it… I wouldn’t take anyone under school aged (As school really seems to refine their taste in bathroom humor and you will be rewarded with loud shrieks of laughter and joy each time a monster farts… which happens a lot)
With the voices of Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Fran Drescher, and David Spade. (Many more, but these were the ones I recognized) it tells a story of Dracula, the owner of Hotel Transylvania, where the world’s monsters can take a rest from human civilization. Dracula invites some of the most famous monsters, including Frankenstein’s monster, Mummy, a Werewolf family, and the Invisible Man, to celebrate the 118th birthday of his daughter Mavis. When the hotel is unexpectedly visited by an ordinary young traveler named Jonathan (This got an extra woot! from my kids), Dracula must protect Mavis from falling in love with him before it is too late….
But of course they Zing (There is an entire rap about it for those of you who don’t know what Zinging is!)
There are some pretty adult lines that had Mr. Amazing and I catching each others eye over the heads of the smalls sitting between us and raising our eyebrows in shock… But nothing the kids were aware of.. It was adorable! A definite family must see for Halloween!!!
Tolman: Hello!
me: Hi Tolman!!!!
Tolman: I have to tell you something… I just can’t keep it inside any longer!
me: Really? What could it be?
Tolman: I Love you… Not like in love with you… Just Love you… And
me: There is more?
Tolman: Yes, I worship the ground you walk on and want to be just like you when I grow up
me: You’re older than me
Tolman: Well, it was a figure of speech
me: You are aware you left yourself logged into my google chrome aren’t you?
Tolman: You don’t say
me: Oh but I do… and then I can open another chat window in IE
Tolman: Why would anyone do that?
me: I’m tired of talking to myself…
Tolman: Is’nt that an invasion of privacy?
me: Yes… yes it is… But im glad you told me how you feel
Tolman: Oh really?
me: The feeling is mutual
Tolman: You need sleep
me: I need sleep… This should have been much more creative and entertaining than it is
Tolman: You made me confess my love for you
me: Yes, But I could have had you confess you used to be a man… think of the possibilities
Tolman: <shiver>
