Last night as I was settling down to my going-to-bed routine, I thought about a CD that I wanted to listen to. But I couldn't find it. I searched all my 4 CD playing devices. All the drawers that I could possibly have put a CD in. But Zilch. Nothing.
This happened once before already. That's my Annie Lennox Bare CD. I lost track of it a few months ago and I still have no idea where it is.
Maybe they have legs??
So I ended up listening to something else.
I often think that music to my life is like salt to food. Favorite music is like comfortable worn in socks, it might not be much to others, but it's the essence of life to you. A life without music can't be too much fun - I, for one, will feel really deprived.
The Pina Colada Song
I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."
I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad
"Yes I like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red-tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape."
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh it's you."
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew."
That you like Pina Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape
(repeat chorus twice and fade out)
