Footloose

Dallas and I saw this guy in concert last night at the Stiefel.  We had to laugh a little bit as we were pulling up, almost everyone walking in had a silver shine to their hair...not just a few gray hairs, a full head of gray, but I guess his career began in the 1970s.

"Kenny Loggins"

 

He sang all of our 80's movie soundtrack favorites:  "I'm All Right" (Caddyshack), "Danger Zone" (Top Gun) and other classics like "Conviction of the Heart", "Celebrate Me Home" and a favorite of mine "Return to Pooh Corner"  Of course he had to sing the song he's most well known for:  "Footloose."

Is it awful that I've lived most of my life under the impression that I knew all of the lyrics to "Footloose"? 

Meagan's version:  Been workin' so hard                     Real Lyrics:  I've been working so hard

                          I'm washin' my car                                              I'm punching my card

                          Hey Girl!  No words                                           Eight hours for what?

                           Wanna tell me what I got                                    Oh, tell me what I got

                                       

In my defense the movie/song came out in 1984 when I was only 7 years old.  At that point I'm pretty sure I wasn't allowed to see the movie, but I had the soundtrack and remember distinctly "making up" a dance to it with a friend in our front yard....guess the "washing car" move should have been us "punching" time cards instead (if we even knew what those were at that point in our lives!)
