B52's and Dire Straits

June 1987. All is well as we sit celebrating my 30th birthday in the best little bar and Dance club in our quiet little town. Empty B52 shot glasses line the table and the mood was PARTY. We all sat laughing and enjoying the evening but then I hear a birthday shout out with a dedication for my favourite song. Dee de, da da Dee de de daa da Dada Dee de dada de de de daa da Hu hu Now I’ll never be able to tell you in which order these take place because in my opinion it all happens at once. Your blood pressure rises to 200 over 140, my eyes were popping out of their sockets and I was stumbling to the dance floor with all my friends. We weren’t about to miss one second more then we had too of dancing to our favourite song. With our legs already to go it starts “Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goodies Be-bop-a-Lula Baby what I say.” Out on the dance floor that night we danced our hearts out and still to this day, when I hear that electric organ Playing Dee de, da da Dee de de daa da my blood pressure rises my eyes open widely and I start rocking from deep inside As I sing.
