Song of the Day: Somethin’ Stupid as sung by Frank and Nancy Sinatra

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m in a small club with a wooden floor. Frank and Nancy Sinatra are seated on the front of a half circle stage with the band crowded behind them. The house lights are down low, the spotlight on the stage. I’m in the center of the dance floor with my eyes closed. My right hand is fluttering at the height of my face with my left hand tucked under my elbow and I’m doing the cha cha by myself.

Song of the Day: Phenomena by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Musical Pipe Dream: There is a scene that I envision with this song. I imagine a karaoke/bar/strip club that has circular red booths that face away from the main stage. All of the front row seats are provided in the sunken floor that looks up to the stage. Families order their food and eat free boiled peanuts at the circular booths while the strip show starts. The lights go out, a spotlight shines on a stripper with the perfect body scantly clad in a red ensemble. Families go on enjoying their boiled peanuts, onlookers enjoy the show.

Blurb 1/365: When my sisters and I were younger, we shared a pair of Strawberry Shortcake skates. My sisters would always let me have the left skate since I steered better with my right foot. We would skate/run around yelling, “SHE-RA!” Good times with great sisters.
