The other morning when my radio alarm started up, the local station played the song “Ballroom Blitz”. I love that song, it gets me moving in the morning, so I decided to download it from “Amazon”. I realized that the band that sings the song is called “The Sweet”. Perfect, since this week’s word, brought to us by Ms. Laura, is “sweet”!
I thought that I’d have an excuse to post a photo of chocolate or something else that’s sweet and sinful, but I am trying to behave (“trying” is a loose term). The old Google machine kept me in check.
That is an unexpected twist on the word! I love that song and though it has been done by others, Sweet’s version is my favorite :)
That explains the Facebook singalong the other day. That was fun and now I am going to have purchase that song for myself. But which version? The original? Krokus? Tia Carrere? Nah, the original.
I was never a huge fan of the song, but I love how there are particular songs that energize us and get us on our feet.
Laura: I didn’t know the song existed before “Wayne’s World”. Hehe.
AlienCG: Not a big fan of Tia Carrere’s version, but that was the only version I was aware of until I heard the one from “Sweet”.
Secret Agent Woman: I’m glad that the station that’s on my radio alarm plays some upbeat tunes in the morning.
