All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

And the Time Life Soft Rock Collection!

No, I'm not not kidding. And yes, I'm a dork, but I can't help it; songs of youth shape a person. You may want to coordinate amongst yourselves to avoid embarrssing gift duplication. I believe if you order now with credit card, you may get free shipping --and I get a bonus CD called Greatest Hits of 1977--so act now!

Here's a tidbit of what the collection has to offer, Rupert Holmes' "Him." Check out the music video, and the expressive nature of the woman backup singing with him. She really gets into it--Cheri Oteri style--so much so that you're sure she's just taken Improv 101 and is making fun of Rupert. But why? The fact that he looks like your Junior High School Math teacher? Or maybe because his lady is cheating on him? I'm sure it's neither, and that she puts that much energy into everything she does, but it's still funny to watch. Oh, Rupert. Whatever did "she" do about "him?"

I could have lived a perfectly nice life without hearing that song. But that dream is now ruined. Although I did yell and pump my fists when he GOT UP FROM THE PIANO AND STARTED ROCKIN' OUT!!! YEAAA!!! HIM! HIM! HIM!

I wonder if she cheated on him before or after all that pina colada/champagne-sippin'-while-walking-in-the-rain-after-making-love-at-midnight-on-the-dunes... ?

Sigh - I guess this means the coffee cup goes back to Wal-mart.And have you ever made love in the dunes off the Cape? Gritty. Very, very gritty.

The song is now offically stuck in my head.



DAMN IT.

This is why we're friends. Because I know all the words to "him" and own many of these Time Life CDs. It's all about AM Gold, madame.
