All this Frozen sing along news has got me thinking about what kind of music we should synchronize our Pool Tube routine to. At first I was thinking everybody's first choice would be the Macarena but then someone pointed out that wedding DJ's don't even play that song anymore unless they are tipped a $100 bucks and a case of whiskey, so that was out.
We can't use that Song from Frozen because some of us will get confused and actually let go thus breaking apart our tube formation. You have to remember that we are not dealing with the most coordinated OR coherent people on this Synchronized Pool Tube Team so we have to keep it simple.
It's too hard to do all those horsey moves like you have with that song Gag 'em Style so that's out.
So now I'm thinking that the best song for our Synchronized Pool Tube Team might be "Stuck In The Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel.
Here are the lyrics so we can decide if this song is the right choice.
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs
Clowns to left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah I'm all over the place
Clowns to left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say:
"Please!"
"Please!"
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cuz I don't think that I can take any more
Clowns to left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you (SNIP)
Then of course there is that Song Wasted Away in Beach Clubaritaville.
Here are the lyrics to that:
Nibblin' on sponge cake,
watchin' the sun bake;
All of those tourists covered with oil.
Strummin' my six string on my full balcony swing.
Smell those shrimp At Cape May Cafe
They're beginnin' to boil.
Wasted away again in Beach Clubaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a Greeter to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.
Don't know the reason,
Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new magic band.
But it's a real beauty,
A Brazillian cutie, how it got here
I haven't a clue.
Wasted away again in Beach Clubaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a Greeter to blame,
Now I think, - hell it could be my fault.
I blew out my Fast Pass,
Stepped on a Chair hog,
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
But there's booze in the blender,
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.
Wasted away again in Beach Clubaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a Greeter to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that there's a Greeter to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault.
Just remember the song we choose is probably going to be the most artistic thing about our Synchronized Pool Tube Team. This may even morph into a Sing Along Synchronized Pool Tube Team Event like Frozen.
Choose carefully or come up with your own song suggestions!
