[QUOTE="soberups, post: 789026, member: 14668"] One hot day I parked the truck under a shade tree in an empty parking lot in order to go in back and sort the rest of my deliveries. I had an old radio that I would listen to sometimes, and on that day I had it set on a 70's station. A song came on--"Brandy, you're a fine girl" by Looking Glass--that was a big hit back when I was a little kid in the early 70's, and I remembered it well enough to sing along to it as I lined up my stops. The next song was "Dreamweaver" by Gary Wright. It had been a personal favorite of mine, so I [I]really[/I] got into singing along with it while I continued to sort. I was absolutely belting it out. The chorus of the song consists of Gary Wright screeching out "Dreeeeeeeam Weeeeevah weevah weeevah" with the heavy use of echo reverb and synthesizers that was a fad back then. If you have ever heard the song you know what I'm talking about. So I'm in the back of the truck just [I]nailing[/I] those high notes and that echo reverb....when out of the corner of my eye I see a man standing outside by the passenger door and leaning his head inside the cab trying to get my attention. With all the screeching I had been doing, I never even heard him drive up. He wanted to know if I had a package for his house up the street. I wanted to crawl in a hole and die of shame. The guy was really trying hard to keep a straight face as I handed him the package. It was obvious that he had been standing there for several minutes while I made a complete fool of myself, and I could hear him laughing as he walked away. My face was beet red and I was utterly humiliated. Thank God this happened before cell phone cameras and YouTube had been invented, or a video of me making a complete ass of myself would be just a few mouse clicks away. I have never sung in the truck again. [video=youtube;_N1wnJoFAl4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N1wnJoFAl4[/video] [/QUOTE]
