I know what you’re doing
I’ve played your game before
I only lose by telling
My secret song I adore
There’s not much more to say
There’s nothing left to hide
Yeah, i’m being serious
But I’m not revealing why
‘Cause I love Barely Breathing
by Duncan Sheik
No, I’m not kidding
I just showed my freak

http://accordingtomags.blogspot.com/2013/01/ketchup-with-us-prompt-11.html Melissa and Michele are good friends with me and my wife, Bobina. They do a bi-weekly prompt where Melissa dresses up like Ketchup and ask for 57 words on a topic. You’d think they’duse Heinz 57, but you know, chicks, This time it was 57 words on something you’re embarrassed to love. I own Duncan Sheik’s self-titled 1996 album. For a music snob, this is am embarrassing fact. But I dig this song a lot. I rewrote it to fit the prompt. The real lyrics are in this video. I can play some of it on guitar. Here’s the Sheik of Sensitivity.
I’m not embarrassed to say I love that song!
good….now I can get out of the fetal position
Glad I could help!
I won’t hold it against you. After all, my daughter somehow (though I was NOT the one who taught her this) loves the Thompson Twins. So I’m in no position to judge.
Psst… I saw Duncan Shiek in concert once. Let us never speak of it again.
A girl goes to bed with a migraine and wakes up to this brilliance! You’re poem is hilarious. I LOVE it! Thank you so much for linking up and showing your freak. Michele and I welcome it.
You saw her adorable key chain right? And my Buffy obsession?
Oh, and that song had to grow on me. I remember not being into it at first, but then the radio gods played it every two seconds and I think I was brainwashed to like it. I bet that’s what happened to you, too. We had no control over it, Lance!
Thanks for linking up, friend. And congrats on your esteemed Ketchup of the Week!
I can picture you singing into your hairbrush… I have that on my iPod playlist too.
well, at least i’m not alone
I really like this song. You’re a freak.
really? and yeah i know
I love that song, too. You’re not alone.
I love that you wrote about a SONG you were embarrassed to love. Believe me, I have plenty of them. (Manilow is the tip of the iceberg.) But when a song makes you happy … or moves you in some way … why fight it?
Thanks for linking up, Lance. Awesome job!
thank you…i liked yours too…i’ll be over to comment later.
I didn’t remember this song by the title or the singer but when I played the video, I knew it right away. It’s one of those songs imbedded in your brain because its got a catchy hook and that’s all it takes to like a song. I liked that you confessed to loving this song. It gave me the fortitude to ‘fess up to my, even, less cool, love.
awesome…as long as i bring you down with me
