"Come On Eileen" - Dexy's Midnight Runners

okay.  am. i. wrong. or. is. that. one. of. the. best. songs.

e v e r ?

I. Freaking. Heart. Dexy's Midnight Runners.

I remember being 14 - - - dancing around like an idiot to this song at church dances.

Ya, I still dance around like a 14 year old idiot when I hear this song.  The ONLY difference . . . . I now do the same stupid dance in 4-5" heels.

After my non-skills I showed off all last weekend in Vegas. . . . . . . Tonight's anniversary [1 of 2] date night AKA . . CarnivoreFeast2011.  Has been declared "dance free Friday"  WhatFreakingEver.

I bought these yesterday.

Not dance?!?!

Ohhhhh, there will be dancing.

Pita - I'll spare you the gushy, "I have the best husband" post. 
but . . . . I find it awesome that each day

I
love
you
more

& think I cannot possibly love you more than I do today . . . then  . . . . I wake up the next day . . . . and . . . yep, it's [somehow] possible.

IFLYP

What 80's song gets you moving?

Happy Freaking Friday!

My 80's song? Wham's Jitterbug. It was the team song for our high school XC team.

Come on Eileen at church dances? What kind of church did you go to!?! haha

Sarah said...

I could go on and on about 80's songs that get me dancing! But never in heels because I would probably hurt myself. :-D

Anne said...

Yikes...those heels :)
Was this an anniversary weekend...if so, Happy Anniversary! You guys are pretty wild, I haven't done 4am in ages - unless I had to get to the airport.

Lot's of 80's songs I love dancing to...can never think of anything when I'm on the spot :) ...but the one's Caro mentioned are all included!

A Prelude To... said...

I <3 those shoes. What husband wouldn't love his lady in those?!?

Way too many good 80s songs!

Anonymous said...

I'm thinking he's gonna like those shoes as much as you do. :) Happy Anniversary !

I love too many 80s songs to count. My nickname, "Rio", was from the song of the same name by DD.
