Anyone remember the nintendo commercial where a kid asks the class, “what does mario do in this circumstance” and this big guy asks, “Do a little dance?”

A friend of mine and I still joke about this, and it was a commercial from either the late 80’s or early 90’s.

I wish I had it on tape.

I should have changed that stupid lock  
I should have made you leave your key  
If I’d have known for just one second you’d be back to bother me

GO ON NOW GO!

Everything I eat is from the Earth, right?  
I am what I eat, straight-up Earth, right?  
Nothin’ but a walkin’ sack of Earth  
Nice to meet you, how ya do  
Guess what? Yeah yer one too

My skin holds me in,  
My brain moves me then,  
BOOM  
I jump straight off the speaker in a form,  
a celebration that were moving,  
freely disconnected I’m truly grateful  
I’m going back to the earth,  
I’m not going to waste life being hateful

Ethilrist~ I swear to GOD you are going to get me fired for surfing at work. Involuntary staccato bursts of laughter are NOT conducive to long term employment around here!

\*I also had to clean my screen of a little coffee, as well.

Huzzah!  
Well done!

My grandma she’s ninety-two,  
she loves to dance and sing some too.

I dunno but I’ve been told,  
if you keep on dancin you’ll never grow old,  
Come on darlin put a pretty dress on,  
we’re gonna go out tonight.  
**Ethilrist**  
Ooooh, spiders and snakes, been a while since I’ve heard that one. The love rhino I don’t know. Sounds pretty interesting.

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,  
You’re stayin alive, stayin’ alive.  
Feel the city breakin’ and ev’rybody shakin’  
and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.  
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin’ Alive…  
Gah. Now I’ve got the all-disco channel running through my brain.

And I’ll be dancin with myself.

I must confess, girl, yes  
I wanna be your lover  
Take a chance, my love is like no other  
On the dance floor, gettin’ down  
Hold tight, I’ll never let you down  
My love’s definitely the key  
Like Boys II Men, I’m on bended knee  
Lovin’ you, not like your brother  
Aw yeah, I wanna be your lover
