Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. 🤓

Do you ever find yourself dancing uncontrollably when you hear a good tune?

This happened to me when I was in the car yesterday! 🤣

The car was parked, so don’t worry! 😂

On the radio Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love” came on, and I just started dancing as I sat in the driver’s seat. 😁

Lyrics:

Sometimes I feel I’ve got to
Run away I’ve got to
Get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I’ve lost my light
For I toss and turn, I can’t sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now, I’ll run from you
This tainted love you’ve given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that’s not nearly all
Tainted love
Oh, Tainted love
Now, I know I’ve got to
Run away, I’ve got to
Get away
You don’t really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I’m sorry, I don’t pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now, I’ll run from you
This tainted love you’ve given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that’s not nearly all
Tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Don’t touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you, though you hurt me so
Now, I’m gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love, oh, tainted love, oh
Tainted love, oh, tainted love, oh
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Tainted love, oh
Tainted love, oh
Tainted love

The song’s beat is FANTASTIC! 💜How do you like the song?

As I was dancing to the song in my car, I was thinking about the 1993 movie Coneheads that featured this song at a couple points in the film. I hadn’t thought about that film for ages! When I was a kid, the Conehead family really creeped me out! 🤣

Does the song bring back any memories for you?

As I was dancing, people were walking and driving past me…probably staring, but I didn’t look to see. 😁

This experience makes me think of when I was dancing on the Gang Nam Style stage in South Korea with my students! 😂There were definitely passersby staring at us, but it was SO MUCH fun! 😁

Never fear what others think of you! 🩷

May you be well! 💙
