This is only a test...

After composing a lengthy post two nights ago about the skill and athletic talent that is the NBA, and specifically the New York Knickerboxers, only to have my PC crash (it must know that I'm a Mac convert). I have decided to take short shifts on the old blogosphere.

So after all this, I have a challenge for those willing to read further.

Yesterday, I was listening to the radio, 80s at 8:oo, and in reference to the new Rocky Balboa movie, they had a theme for the hour: any song title or artist that could be associated with Rocky. Pretty creative and funny stuff before they got to an obvious choice from one of the soundtracks.

And this is where my challenge to you comes in, because this tune has been in my brain ever since, and while it is not even one of my favorite songs, it always makes me laugh. Now, I dare each of you to try and sit absolutely still in your chair when this song enters and plays in your brain:

"Living in America"


Its much more difficult than you thought isn't it?

And now, if you're anything like me, it will remain lodged in your brain for days.

Super highways, coast to coast, easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload, just slide behind the wheel How does it feel
When there's no destination - that's too far
And somewhere on the way, you might find out who you are

Chorus: Living in America - eye to eye, station to station Living in America - hand to hand, across the nation Living in America - got to have a celebration

Rock my soul Smokestack, fatback, many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin' through your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake, hey, on black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk the fine line, you might take the hard line
But everybody's working overtime

(chorus)

I live in America, help me out, but I live in America, wait a minute
You might not be looking for the promised land, but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans), Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas) Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.),
New York City (New York City) Kansas City (Kansas City), Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A.

Living in America - hit me - living in America - yeah, I walk in and out Living in America
I live in America - state lines, gonna make the prime, that I live in America - hey, I know what it means, I Living in America - Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out
Living in America - hit me,
I said now, eye to eye, station to station Living in America - so nice, with your bare self Living in America - I feel good!

You're Welcome.
