...Or did you party like it was
"1999"?
My niece Summer just went to her senior prom, and it made me remember a lot about mine. My mother went all out & had a limo for me. I think my date spent $500 on her dress. I was one of those guys who never wanted to get up and dance at these things (out of fear of embarassing myself) with my very attractive date. Although, I did eventually relent & get up on the floor with her. I remember slow dancing with her to Boyz II Men & Mariah Carey's "One Sweet Day". Don't ask me how I remember that, since the rest of the night becomes more of a blur, but I just do.
I always love the slow music that DJs play at these things. It's almost a cliche. Some of my favorites from the 1980s (or so I've seen on TV) onward...
- Journey - "Separate Ways"
- Peter Cetera - "Glory Of Love"
- Alphaville - "Forever Young"
- Tesla - "Love Song"
- Mr. Big - "To Be With You"
...And my perennial favorite, Extreme's
"More Than Words".
At the very least, I didn't live in a town where they
outlawed dancing...
...This is either one of the most outlandish plots in Hollywood history to get greenlit, or any day now the religious right will watch the movie & start having all of the "intelligent design" schoolboards outlaw dancing because of its "sinful" conotations.
Well, did you guys have a good time at your Prom, or was it terrible?
