Sometimes the radio is awesome. Sometimes it's pretty lame. Overall I'm glad it exists. There is something very exciting about not knowing what song will play next. Anticipation and what not. Not even "shuffle" can induce the kind of nervous excitement the way the radio can. Who isn't hyped when they hear 3-5 amazing songs in a row?! It's like a miracle happened. I, for one, used to love the seek button on my car's stereo system. I was addicted to "seeking." We recently rented a car to drive to North Carolina, I "seeked" for a good hour just because I had so much pent up desire to do so. Seeking out the best possible song playing on the radio at a particular moment is a major passion of mine. Most people who find themselves in a car with me find this particular idiosyncrasy annoying. Kyle doesn't and that is how I know I've chosen a quality partner for myself.
So today's song is a song that I would like to hear on the radio. I knew the answer almost instantly. Practically from birth I have been a huge David Bowie fan. There is one Bowie song that you will never hear on the radio but I think the radio would be a little bit sweeter if it put this song on rotation from time to time. The song is. . . drum roll please. . . "Magic Dance" by David Bowie from the hit Jim Henson film The Labyrinth.
So here it is, a song that I wish I heard on the radio. Because you have to be dead inside not to be hyped on it.
"Magic Dance"
You remind me of the babe
What babe? babe with the power
What power? power of voodoo
Who do? you do
Do what? remind me of the babe
I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry
What could I do
My baby's love had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew
What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs' tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free
I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try
What could I do
My baby's fun had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew
What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dog's tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that baby spell on me (ooh)
You remind me of the babe
What babe? the babe with the power
What power? power of voodoo
Who do? you do
Do what? remind me of the babe
Dance magic, dance, ooh ooh ooh
Dance magic, dance magic, ooh ooh ooh
Dance magic
What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dog tails
Thunder or lightning
Something frightening
Dance magic, dance
Dance magic, dance
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump
Jump magic, jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby make him free
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic
Slap that slap that baby make him free
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
