<p>:p
So last Thursday I chaperoned the high school graduation party.
All night till about 6 am
My recollection involves what seems to have been a two hour version of this song, accompanied by body movements.
It is only a slight improvement on the song that dominated the last graduation party I chaperoned, two years ago.
" My Humps"
:rolleyes:
I have officially moved into the " this is not music" generation.
When their parents are still young enough to be having sex, children should not be thinking about it , let alone mimicing it on the dance floor.</p>
<p>LOL. I’ve heard snippets of the song.</p>
<p>We were watching an episode of “Everybody Loves 'Raymond” this week, and Marie talked about how bad Raymond’s music was. “I mean, really, those Beatles really were horrible.” :)</p>
<p>Now, I’m not comparing the Beatles and Black-Eyed Peas or anything.</p>
<p>I love Everybody Loves Raymond! Anyway, as a teenager, let me say that not all of our music is that horrible. Just most of the rap.</p>
<p>Have any of you heard David Cook’s new single, “Permanent”? I think you may like it.</p>
<p>I like the dance tunes on the Peas new album. I think it is impossible to stand still listening to Boom Boom Pow but I like real dancing - not the grinding. I’ve done lots of ballroom, Latin, swing dancing, disco and you can do a lot of those moves - club style - to that rhythm.</p>
<p>I still have one lasting memory of my high school graduation all night party. It involves my best friend’s mother (she was chaperoning that night) prying a bottle of vodka away from me as I entered for the evening.</p>
<p>I had planned in advance to take care of my ears- so I brought my own ipod- but I should have brought a blindfold.
I was just not prepared to witness lap dances being arranged by one boy, and when I asked the other parents ( who were in the hall), how we " felt about them", they just said- they are disgusting and we don’t look.
So I just bit my tongue and supervised elsewhere.</p>
<p>I like some hip hop and rap- the Blue Scholars & Common Market who are local are very good & I see them when they are in town- but it was especially the length of this particular mix that was driving me crazy.
I expected them to whip out ina gadda da vida next</p>
<p>But when I complained to D about it ( after I heard it coming from her room), she said she didn’t feel sorry for me, because through out her travels in India, she heard * Jai Ho* everywhere.
;)</p>
<p>I’d much prefer Boom Boom Pow to My Humps.</p>
<p>But tell me, in that song about “I’d love to ride on your disco stick” - is the “disco stick” what I think it is?</p>
<p>One of the fathers should have tapped the young “lap dance coordinator” on the shoulder and said, “…ah, no. Nope. No way.”</p>
<p>What else could it be?</p>
<p>I love disco!</p>
<p>missypie-yes. Yes it is.</p>
