****Now back to regularly scheduled blogging****
My son is 10. I am 36. I knew “Barracuda” before he did. Heart did it first. Not Fergie… If it wasn’t for Shrek the 3rd…
I must admit, Fergie rocks Barracuda.
But Heart did it first.
Here’s what went down in the minivan this morning:
Me (cranking up the radio): Joel! JOel! JOEL!!! Rock! Rock? Dude!!! What song is THIS?! Huh? HUH???!!!
Joel: What mom?
Me: What song is thIIIIISSSS???!!!
Joel: Could your turn the radio down, mom?
Me to myself: Kids. *pfft*
Me (turning down the music): What song is this… ehhhh???
Joel: Uhhhh… Barracuda? But it’s…
Me: That’s right. It’s BARRACUDA. The ORIGINAL. That other one you like… pretty awesome, but it’s not the ORIGINAL. This is the ORIGINAL.
Joel: You mean it’s OLD. {giggle giggle giggle} *antagonistic eye contact with the woman who gave him life through rearview mirror*
Me: You. Turkey!
Then I looked in the rearview mirror to give him the stink-eye but plucked a gray hair from my right eyebrow instead.

I remember waiting all day to get songs like this ON TAPE…and then the radio dj would talk thru the song and you’d be like “You fool, you fool!”
Then your sister would walk into your room and say why you in your bed listening to your ghettoblaster for six hours?
CHEERUPNATION rawks!!!!
Funny story about Barracuda… Knowing you, if you saw Heart in concert and they start rockin’ out a little Barracuda, you would get up and start dancing, right?
Well, when I lived in England, I had the chance to see Heart at Wembley (Arena, not Stadium, as they weren’t that popular in 1988, or maybe a soccer game took precedence. whatever.) and they started the guitar riff for Barracuda (I can do it in my head, just not on paper/monitor, but you know of what I speak) and I get up, pull out my “guitar” and start enjoying the snot out of that song. I feel a tap on my shoulder, or maybe it was a gentle nudge, from the gentleman behind me (aren’t they all?). He asked me to sit down, so others could enjoy the show. I looked around and, you guessed it, I was one of a handful of people rocking out. Everyone else was sitting on their hands.
I was shocked, but I didn’t sit down until they started playing some ballad of theirs. Looks. Kill. But hey, I had a great time.
