Day 18: A Song that You Wish You Heard on the Radio

I'm back!

I was feeling on a roll from yesterday's post [which I enjoyed a little too much], so today I am back and ready for more 30 Day Song Challenge fun [as you are, I'm sure]. Today's song is a song that I wish I heard on the radio, which is interesting because [like I mentioned yesterday] I don't listen to the radio at school. But for the sake of completing this much-more-than-30-day song challenge, I will cooperate.  I wish that I heard...

"I Get a Kick Out of You" by Frank Sinatra. Every time I hear this song I sigh a little. It's just so freaking adorable. [A good kind of adorable, not a gag-me-with-a-spoon kind of adorable] So obviously, anything that makes me happy should be played on the radio for everyone to enjoy, because I am the connoisseur of all that is right, and all that is beautiful, and pleasant [also run-on sentences].

But I have a soft spot for "Anything Goes." I was a tap dancer [Yea, I know. Weird, right?] in our high school's rendition my sophomore year. From the first rehearsal, I fell in love with this song [although I prefer it in a man's voice]. I also fell in love with the rest of the musical. If you haven't seen it, you best be getting on that.

After that year and after many long rehearsals [and extra tap practices on a plywood board in our basement], I couldn't stand to listen to the songs any more. But "I Get a Kick Out of You" was revived by Elizabeth Robinson [shout out!] on a CD of random music that she made for me. And I fell head over heels [again] with Frank Sinatra, the song, the musical, and anything nautical themed [but that may have more to do with being a Delta Gamma than anything...].

It's been a fun trip down memory lane, I am off to download the rest of the "Anything Goes" soundtrack and further procrastinate homework. Here's to tap dancing [whether you are good or bad], musicals, and the revival of the good ol' songs. Anchors away!
