Community Pressure
I’m a member of a cd club. It is the most unimaginable pressure you can imagine, Every month I get cds from some impossibly diverse musically-inclined person. I’ve come up with a concept for my cd (which isn’t due until April), and I hit upon a new song for it. It actually fills me with joy to know that I may be able to come up with something no one has since replicated.
These people are incredible – I started to panic around July, when a couple sent out their cd’s and at least 4 bands I had thought of including were included. But I think I’ve got the jump on them. They will never think of the songs I’ve decided to burn. Yes, now I can establish “street cred” with them, and it’s all due to my Party Shuffle. I’m going to end with the song I dedicated to my car – a song no one will (hopefully) include on their cds.
In fact, maybe I’ll scrap the concept idea completely in favor of a burning of my current Party Shuffle play list – it will save me a lot of time. Of course, as I type this “Afternoon Delight” by the Starland Vocal Band popped up, which may derail any chances of credibility…

I "heart" die to self live for christ. It's great that they posted to this particular entry, since it's so relevant to what they're about. Sigh.
One of my favorite recent comedy moments with 'Afternoon Delight' was in the show Arrested Development where Jason Bateman gets up at the company Christmas party with his niece to sing that song as a duet, and the look of shock on both of their faces once the lyrics start dawning on them:
"Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting."

My head couldn't wrap around it. I kept reading it, and over and over thought I was seeing:
Die to surf.
Live for Christ.
Kill the Pig.
Bash her in.
Skate or Die.
And strangely, that is the only episode of Arrested Development I have ever seen.

Ha ha!
I "heart" you, Kaytie. Even more than "skate for christ or die."
