So in elementary school my best friend and I entered the talent show with a rockin routine. We wore matching red and white braided headbands then I dressed in a red leotard, white tights, and red leg warmers while she sported a white leotard, red tights, and white leg warmers. We were so cool.
Then, as if the coordinating outfits weren't enough to highlight our talents, we did an aerobic Jane Fonda style dance routine to none other than Michael Jackson's "Beat It". (Right now both of you who read this blog are hearing the Dun da dun dun dun, DUN da DUN DUN beginning of the song playing in your head. And if you weren't you are now.)
It was pretty awesome. Too awesome actually because we didn't win. Those teachers had no appreciation for talent, or they were just jealous. Yeah, that must have been it.
Anyway, thank you Micheal Jackson for giving me the sound track to my talent show debut and for the hours of entertainment you provided my friends and I as we watched, paused, and reviewed my VHS copy of Thriller in an order to memorize every single dance move. You were indeed bad, you know it.

When I was in the 3rd grade, Connie White gave me a kind of a sheer scarf thingie that had a picture of Michael Jackson and a baby tiger on it. I LOVED it! Too bad he had to go and get all freaky on us.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any pictures? You should post them. Maybe you could teach us all your dance at book club on Wednesday! :)
