Song for a Friday...

So... heard this on the radio this morning and it had a pretty good beat.  Well, to be honest, anything after "Wasted" by Tiesto sounded like a good thing.  I'm driving around taking care of some errands on a nice Seattle morning and I hear this song come on.  The main lyric of the chorus is "I like us better when we're wasted".  So of course, I automatically get defensive and pissed because although it has a good tune, I'm rather frustrated with the message.  To its defense, I looked up the lyrics when I got to work and the song has more to it than just that small part.  It's a tiny bit deeper but I have a problem with the fact that it will likely become an anthem for summer graduation keggers all over the country, helping all the youngins feel justified in their inebriated chaos. Lovely.

Anyway, back to this other song.  Good beat... I was hooked.  So I came to work and looked the video up and found this lovely bit.  Please take note of the innocent cheetah cub poster in the first sequence and of course, let's all applaud the granny who is absolutely brilliant.  So, for all of you who have had a crazy week (mine has been crazy busy with stress of work and school, then finding out I got into grad school yay!), here's your entertaining and amusing video of the week accompanied by a song with a fantastic beat.
