the guy loves me

Yesterday I e-mailed mda at work and told him that "Ballroom Blitz" was going through my head for reasons unknown. Actually, not even the entire song--just "Balll---room blitz!" and a few surrounding notes. Anyway, so I was reading on the couch last night and mda comes in to his house computer, from his garage computer, types a few keys, and "Ballroom Blitz" starts playing through the computer speakers.

awww.

(he tends to like to do these things w/out uttering a word, you know. Part of the overall "timebomb" mentality.)

'Cept now mda wants to know who "the man in the back" is. "The man in the back/says everyone attack/and it turned into a ballroom blitz."

In addition, we got to hear "(Everybody was) Kung-Fu Fighting". It's such a hopeful song. Sung by a black dude, he's talkin' 'bout a funky Chinaman from a funky China town. You totally know that that black dude thought the Chinaman was coolio. Racial harmony in the 70s, man. I can just imagine the really foxy black women w/their huge 'fros. Black is beautiful. Paris Hilton is not.

OK...I responded to this, but then I realized that you said the "man in BACK" and not the man in BLACK. Two totally different things. Ooops...

I still liked it, and was thinking you had a point on who started the "ballroom blitz".

I can send you an MP3 of both the Blue Oyster Cult & the AC/DC versions!

sorry about the mind virus. [livejournal.com profile] livsmama always uses "I Wanna Be Sedated" by the Ramones to banish mind viruses. Maybe that will help.

The man in the back is the guy who rhymes with "attack."

BOC and AC-DC covered that song? Wild.

"ryhmes with attack"--Oh, THAT's it.

Well, the version I was thinking of yesterday, the sort of classic, was, according to the download, by BOC. I thought that was the original version. The AC/DC version is, well pretty much the same except it's by AC/DC, so it's AC/DC-esque.

The classic 70's version of "Ballroom Blitz" was by Sweet. Yes, Sweet. I have the album. You can see it on Thursday.

Velcome,
