Isn't it ironic

We were sitting in a restaurant having breakfast this morning and there was a table with two couples sitting behind me. The party of four was very loud..very loud..and every thing they said was funny, very funny...at least in their minds. Had it been dinner time I would have thought they had one too many cocktails with their meal...but it was 9am.

One of them did tell a story that made me lean across the table and say to Ken: If I had a video camera I'd point it over my shoulder and they'd SO be on youtube before the end of the day. But since I didn't, blogging about it is the next best thing.

The one woman decided to tell her companions about the time her friend misunderstood the lyrics to a song and when her friend sang along at a party to those wrong lyrics she was beyond embarrassed...she was MORTIFIED! She went on and on about how humiliated she was that her friend had been so stupid.

She loudly told her friends the song was from the 80's band Banarama called Venus except her friend thought they were saying penis instead of venus.  She said she was just so embarrassed to be seen with her friend she pretended she didn't know her.

So what does she proceed to do? You guessed it! She treated us to a little concert singing the song with the WRONG lyrics...and if I had a video camera you'd be watching HER sing instead of Banarama below...oh if only!!

  7. that's the problem with trios -- bananarama I mean (no pun intended). The voices singing all at the same time makes the lyrics fuzzy...
