You Caught Me Dancing // equivocality

I always listen to music when I’m in the bathroom, and I always dance when I’m alone.

Except you were in my room, looking in, and I was brushing my teeth to the beat. I don’t even remember the song, I just know that it moved me, manipulating my joints and twitching my bones like a marionette. Shoulders, hips, legs co-ordinated like a shameless drunk.

You asked. I denied.

And if you mentioned it now, I still wouldn’t admit it.

Some secrets just need to be kept.

It was probably My Sharona

@david — Very true.

@Joe Lencioni — Hahahaha…I could totally see that. I still get the lyrics confused with Weird Al’s “My Bologna”, cause I used to listen to that when I was a kid. And isn’t there a version of the My Sharona video with clips from Reality Bites interspersed with the original?

There could be, but I’m not familiar. There is this scene, however.

You know, I think that was the inspiration for the updated music video. If I remember correctly, the single by The Knack hit the top of the charts again several decades after the original.
