You Caught Me Dancing

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.

  1. @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.

  3. 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.
