shouting

there are a few things that turn me into a maniac, and "Shout," by the Isley Brothers, is one of those things.

Two nights ago, I lay in bed for three hours. Finally, around two a.m., I tooned and downloaded the remastered version of their  1959 first big hit, and fell asleep like a baby.

Surprising lullaby, right?

Let's take a look at this video.

The Isley Brothers. Amazing.

How do they even contain themselves?

I cannot.

When this song comes on, I am nothing but arms and legs.

I am a jumper. A flailer. A "oh-my-god-i-love-this-song" partier.

and they're so slick, the entire video.

They're SINGING it, for god's sake, and they're still so, so slick.

but not me. not me at all.

i'm a maniac.

in my chair.

at my desk.

in my office.

crossing the road.

in my car.

at the gym.

in the shower.

doing  my writing.

or going to sleep.

they sure do make me want to shout.
