Coming home from work today, a song came on the radio that brought back memories...my one and only time of singing karaoke. I was at a conference in north Georgia with several child care professionals from various agencies.
One night it was decided that we would all go to the hotel bar and do karaoke singing. Somehow, after sipping on my diet Pepsi, and some prodding from my "friends", I got up a weird nerve and decided that I would try it and I did. Scared to death I was, but somehow I managed to get through it. And, received comments afterwards that I had done a great job.
The surprising thing was that out of all the songs to sing, I picked one from the Vietnam War period about mind altering drugs. So for your enjoyment, "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane
One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits and you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call
Recall Alice when she was just small.
When men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
and your mind is moving slow.
Go ask Alice I think she'll know
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said "Feed your head, feed your head"
Just the kind of song one would think a nice Mormon mom would sing for karaoke, huh? Hey, I was 17 years old and loved the way the song sounded and didn't understand the words. Click on the blog title and maybe you'll see why I loved it.
