Domo arigato
My birthday was Monday. I'm now closer to 40 than to 30. Which doesn't bother me in the slightest, strangely enough. My mother-in-law gave me a card that, when opened, plays "domo arigato, Mr. Roboto." When they show the commercials on tellie for the musical greeting cards, the whole thing looks pretty inspidid. But sitting at our kitchen table, my wife and 2-year-old daughter laughing as I "do the robot", it's difficult to imagine a better greeting card. Hell, yesterday, my daughter was still dancing around the kitchen to that song.

Thank you, Eighties. Thank you, Styx. And thank you, Sally.

Congrats on the lovely card, I love Styx but have to say that was not my fave song they did. Though it was able to inspire you to dance.

Don't worry about 40, it isn't too bad. Just takes longer recovering from the various owies :)

Thanks Frank. :)

I'm not sure "inspire" is the word I'd use. More like "compel." Styx was like the Pied Piper of Alexandria. Besides, if it makes my ladies laugh, I'm not above looking like an idiot. (As if anyone who knows me in real life, as you do, would question that!)

I have found some songs just have that magic. And you are very right, if it brings a smile to your ladies face it is most definitely all good.
