My Eternal Duet Partner

So, for fun, Aaron and I have learned the words to Cole Porter's "You're the Top" from Anything Goes.  We've created our own little duet with it, Louis and Ella style. 

We did this sunday night while learning to make pretzels for FOOD WEEK (Our theme week at After Care this week!).  We did this for no real reason, other than the fact that we both like to sing together, both enjoy catchy fun tunes (Who doesn't adore Cole Porter?), and both enjoy a challenge.  We did this fueled by MaryLou's coffee and I have to say it turned out to be an infinitely better decision than taking a nap, which we were both sorely tempted to do.  Instead we hopped in the car, got some Lou's, got back here and started being goofballs, singing and playing and generally enjoying being a couple of weirdo geeks together.

needless to say, eric was not in the casa. lol.

I have suggested that we perform this charming duet at dinner parties.  Aaron has said 'no way in hell'.  I replied: "Maybe with enough booze...?"

Maybe, maybe never.  keep your fingers crossed.  I'm not saying we're GOOD, I'm saying we're highly entertaining.

Also in our repertoire at this stage:

Elephant Love Medley from Moulin Rouge!
Walk the Line
The Long Black Veil
The Boxer (simon and garfunkel... don't ask me why this song, in particular, but it is a favorite for roadtrips...)
and Part of That World from The Little Mermaid.  Aaron is especially adorable on this one.

We also tend to sing Leavin on a Jet Plane, Blowin' in the Wind, Love Rescue Me, Haleluia, and assorted others-- but the above listed are among our more practiced duets.

I missed my true calling as a folk singer... but that's a blog entry for another day.

Any requests?  Anything you think we should learn?

I'm thinking "You say Potato, I say potAhto" (Let's call the whole thing off). We love this one, but just haven't focused our attention on learning it.

Ciao for now friends.  Tomorrow is wednesday, which means a long day with a sweet reward at the end :)  Coffee and naughty literature?  We sahll see what the night brings.
