Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Mambo

This morning I walked into the coffee shop and as I waited in line (which included people who, like everyone else, are pretty much silent until they get their morning cup of joe) a song started playing....Dean Martin's "Ain't that kick in the head"...

How lucky can one guy be;

I kissed her and she kissed me

Like the fella once said,

Ain't that a kick in the head?

So as I was sitting listening to this song play, I really just wanted to start singing the lines! That song is soooo good and you always hear these great songs when you are in public and you can't do anything. Which is why I think we need to bring back random group choreographed dance numbers to our lives? True, most previous ones were in movies but this has to happen sooner or later. I mean, maybe this could help solve some of our world problems?

Imagine the scene - the 6 party talks are in progress along the Chinese-North Korean border about nuclear proliferation. Kim Jung Crazypants and George Bush join the leaders of Japan, China Russia and South Korea at the table. And instead of coming to a jam in communications - one of them (a la West Side Story) could just scream out "MAMBO". Then they could do a dance around the rooom - give a little solo to Kim Jung-Il (like Anita had) to make him feel better, get out all that pent up frustration of diplomacy and then bam - we could really move forward with solving the worlds problems. Of course if Jenna Bush and Kim Jong-nam (eldest son) feel in love, they would have to secretly roam the streets of Pyongyang singing "Tonight"....But I digress (not to mention that West Side Story didn't end that well for everyone involved - maybe the Oklahoma Farmer and the Cowman example is a better one?).

So as I stood in line listening to this great song - all I wanted to do was sing at the top of my lungs - and by seeing the smiles around the place as Dean's voice permeated the morning boredom of commuting into work, I bet you other people would have joined me....
