Oddly enough, I believe our conversation started as we were watching the news & the coverage of the Hispanic protestors on the telly. Suddenly JWo was singing, and I did not, for the life of me, recognize the song. Here are the lyrics he was singing:<\/p>\n
“And there\u2019s a word in spanish I don\u2019t understand
But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere”<\/p>\n
Now, keep in mind, there was a lot of EMOTION in the singing. And big hand movements. So all I could really focus on was how funny it was. And because I refused to recognize this song, we had to go upstairs & get on the computers and listen to the snippet & prove that, indeed, my husband knows his Elton John backwards & forwards, and I have, at some point, heard this ballad. <\/p>\n
JWo: “It came out in 1988. Whoa. You were on Social Security then.”<\/p>\n
“Oh shove it. (I’m THREE years older than JWo.) I was listening to COOL music, like Scritti Politti and Flock of Seagulls. I didn’t have time for pop.”<\/p>\n
JWo: “I’m getting into Elton John now, just to spite you.”<\/p>\n
“I’m just saying, he’s pretty GAY.” <\/p>\n
JWo: “He’s not gay, he’s just a snappy dresser!”<\/p>\n
“HE MARRIED ANOTHER MAN! That makes him GAY!”<\/p>\n
JWo: “Hey!”<\/p>\n
“You are so gonna see this conversation blogged.”<\/p>\n
