Do you remember that song? Loverboy, 1986.
Everyone's watchin' to see what you will do
Everyone's lookin' at you, Oh
Everyone's wonderin' will you come out tonight
Everyone's tryin' to get it right, get it right
Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, Oh
You want a piece of my heart
you better start from the start
you wanna be in the show
c'mon baby let's go
Everyone's lookin' to see if it was you
Everyone wants you to come through
Everyone's hopin' it'll all work out
Everyone's waiting to hold you out
Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance, hey yeah
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, Oh
You want a piece of my heart
you better start from the start
you wanna be in the show
c'mon baby let's go
Hey
You want a piece of my heart
you better start from the start
you wanna be in the show
c'mon baby let's go (electric guitar solo)
You want a piece of my heart
you better start from the start
you wanna be in the show
c'mon baby let's go
Not that it’s uber deep and makes you think amazing deep thoughts or anything – but it is a PRETTY good song….brings back A LOT of GREAT memories for me. One being my friend, Bear, (Sharon) and us being at Julie’s house for yet ANOTHER sleep over that we convinced our parents we HAD to have. Anyway, this song came on the JAMBOX and Bear started dancing around lip syncing with a candle or something. She was a maniac totally channeling Loverboy’s lead singer….ah the memories that a song can trigger. I also recall several of us had convinced a couple of boys to let us have their Carmel Junior High football jerseys for the weekend….or at school that day or something. I’m pretty sure we had one from Lance and one from Jamie and maybe Tom? We’d stay up all night at watch scary movies….or go see FOOTLOOSE again….that was the thing…to have slumber parties. Lots of singing and dancing…Julie even channeled Tina Turner one night…
Anyway – I heard the song this morning and a couple of things happened. One, as I always do, I thought of my friends from long ago and that one sleepover night and dancing like crazy girls…then I kind of tickled myself because I then thought….now, I want the weekends to be with my kids and hubby. I LOVE it when we’re all here, everyone doing their own thing, but EVERYONE HOME. That’s what we had this weekend, even with two extra kids (two of Pootie’s best buds spent the night – funny thing is they stayed here and played ping pong in the garage until some ridiculous time in the morning…but they were here…) Lola snuck off with my mother in law for a little bit, but we were HERE.
I love the time with my family and I cannot wait for my kids to be on Spring Break….and then yes, after that I’ll be saying that I cannot wait for SUMMER BREAK. I like with when they are around…..so right now….I’m just working for the weekends..
Have a great week…hope the song stays stuck in your head.
