Surfin' USA

We have this extremely comfy recliner chair in our living room that kind of rocks back and forth. I recently discovered that if you stand up on the chair, it moves back forth and makes you feel as if you're surfing. The other day, fueled by a sugar rush, I climbed on the chair and started surfing while singing the song "Surfin' USA." A couple things happened.

1. Did you know that the words are not "Everybody's gone surfin', surfin in the USA"?! Because I was under the impression my entire life that those were the lyrics. Because of this, I kept getting the tune of the song wrong, and my timing was all off. I kept trying to sing it the right way, but it just wasn't working. This caused my housemates to go absolutely insane. Finally, Spencer corrected my lyrics until I remembered.

2.  Now, I'm not tone deaf by any means, but let's just say I was having some difficulties this day. My housemates all hummed the tune for about ten minutes while I tried to sing until Tobe was forced to open up his computer and play the song. Even after I heard it it took me a couple of minutes to get it right.

Note: The entire time this is going on, I remain surfing on the recliner.

3. Finally, I get the chorus right - tune and all - only for the guys to discover that those are the only lyrics I know to the song, causing them to regret helping me at all since the rest of the night is filled with "Cause everybody's gone surfin', surfin USA!"


Enjoy!
