Let's All Go to the Lobby

This is something that I wrote in a forum today, in response to a bunch of "when we were young" stuff.  Someone brought up the "let's all go to the lobby" song we used to see before movies and this was my response.

Oh. Em. Gee.

The lobby song. I swear, my brother and I sang that song everytime we went to the theater. No matter if we were by ourselves or with friends or with parents, we sang it. And not everyone liked it.

Funny story about what huge geeks/nerds we are: Several years ago we drove to Beaumont, TX to watch a midnight showing of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They still played that song before movies then. It's going & I'm singing and my brother says "Tracy, hush and listen." Sounded like every damn one of those geek/nerds was singing, too. It was like when you stop singing the National Anthem at large events & just listen to everyone else sing.

I said to my brother, "These are our people."

It was magical.
