Stop for a minute- Baby, I'm so glad you're mine


As a young boy, I could be found listening (and dancing) to some great muzak. Home videos will attest to the fact that I loved dancing to Amy Grant and Mariah Carey at the tender age of 5. With my oversized white T-shirt tucked into my neon Orange and green shorts, Mariah's "Emotion" would play and I would groove. If I was feeling especially spunky I would follow it up with some "Baby, Baby" by Amy. When I would get set into motion there was just no getting over me.

One song that always had a special place in my heart was Billy Joel's "Pressure". You are probably not familiar with this song- shame on you.

I have found the music video for "Pressure" and I have the link for you:

You hear that part where he yells "PRESSURE!"? Terrific.

I believe that my nimble body can be traced back to this time of dance - special thanks to the 80s and 90s for great hits. Bless you.

Both home videos and older brothers can attest to your youthful dancing prowess even if fallacious links are provided to everyone else.
Thanks for getting Amy Grant stuck in my head. Jerk. Give me my Tupperware back. :P
