So There Was This Song…

…that I heard at Sonic in Hillsboro, Oregon in early August while eating there with my older sister from another mister, Danielle Parker (I have two “adopted” sisters, it’s kinda neat).

It had this catchy little whistle interspersed throughout the song, and we both ended up remarking later on in the evening that we couldn’t get that tune out of our minds.

Well, this morning right after my short but exhausting run, I stood by my car, wiped the sweat from my face and began to whistle that tune. I don’t know why, but it just came to me somehow.

Fast forward about 6 hours, and I was whistling it again while I was organizing the parts drawer at the Radio Shack at which I have received gainful employment.

Fast forward two hours from there, and I used Google to figure out which song it was. I found a Youtube video, which is kinda crazy but it quenched my desire to find out what the song was.

So without further adieu, I present to you the video for “Young Folks” by Peter, Bjorn & John.

I love these words in the song, too:

If I told you things I did before
Told you how i used to be
Would you go along with someone like me?
If you knew my story word for word
Had all of my history
Would you go along with someone like me?

Now listen to the song again and again, and next time I see you, if you whistle that tune for me, you get 35 free Brewer Bucks.
