I love the VW commercial where they are all singing what they think the words are to the “Rocket Man” song by EJ… Cracks me up every time because I myself had my own version of what I sang at that point. Even now that I know the real words, I always go with what I have always thought in my head…
So, a few weeks ago at my Aunt’s funeral, Mary and I were sitting in the pew at church, singing along to the songs. When we were getting ready to go up for communion, the lady in front of me turns and says, “You two sing very nice, you could sit behind me anytime in church.” This made me laugh. I said “thank you”. But we were laughing. Here is why. When our girls grace us with their presence at church, they always comment on my singing. They don’t loooove it – they say I stink. I agree. I tend to sing in whatever key the person in next to me. It isn’t pretty – I admit it. So, I just gotta believe that lady heard Mary and not me – but it did make me laugh. It is almost like saying I need to gain weight. Not so much.
I do admit I can belt it out in the car just like a rock star. I love it when you see someone else getting into their tunes. I won’t quit my day job, but it was nice to get a compliment!
That is a real nice compliment.
I must admit too that I didn’t know those lyrics until the girl said them clearly in that commercial.
I’m glad I’m not the only one!

I was astonished that those were the lyrics. Bing and I just looked at each other and said, “Did you know that?” Neither of us did.
