have you ever...

wanted to burst into song and dance in the middle of the street in the middle of downtown San Francisco on your way to the office on a Friday morning? Or is it just me?

I spryly walked off the bus this morning (I was like a gazelle for the visual readers) and walked to the corner and while listening to a The Killers song I wanted to burst into a dance number in the middle of the street. Which had me wondering what the other folks around me would do if I suddenly did. I mean, I live in SF - capital of fabulous craziness. Would they stare at me? Probably. Would they join in? Possibly. So what logistics would I need to work out in order to coordinate in order to burst out into song and dance in the middle of downtown SF? Music. Something to play the music on/with. Dancing shoes. Which to be honest, if you can stand on a bus for 20 minutes holding a cup of coffee, wearing heels, and the bus driver thinks s/he is auditioning for NASCAR and you stay upright - you can dance in them. So covered on that front. Costume? Well, if I take a cue from the movies - I would wear what I usually do. No need to buy anything there either... Confederates. Well, that's a tough one, as I only know 2 other people who work downtown and I don't know that either would sing and dance with me...

Now I know it is possible to do it as last year a dance troupe did this kinda thing... where they randomly burst into dance. But I'm thinking more the Broadway/Movie Musical kinda thing. Everyone stops what they are doing - dances and then continues on their way - as if the dancing was a moment in time, an outward expression of their inner emotions. Song and dance - the communication method of our souls...

Ok - maybe I'm going a little far - but seriously... I really had this strong urge to dance and sing right there and then...

Well, as I give in to our social constrains around public song and dance - I will rock out in my office instead!

And so I leave you with my FAVORITE song of all time... by Katrina & the Waves... I'm Walking on Sunshine...

Oh! Ohhhh yeeeh
I used to think maybe you loved me now baby I'm sure
And I just cant wait till the day when you knock on my door
