OOOOO Tainted Love

Friday night we braved the rainy weather and made it out to see one of our favorite bands, Tainted Love at the Fox theater in Redwood City. If you hadn't already guessed, they are an 80's cover band and yes, they cover the song Tainted Love. Obviously.

Who doesn't love the 80's and what it brought to society? Scrunchies, crimpers, neon leg warmers, the Rubiks cube,  not to mention Joey and myself... but let's not forget to give a huge nod to the musical genre that simply makes you have to dance. Like, obnoxious jump-up-and-down dance. Like, strap-on-a-head-band-and-jazercise dance. Like, hold-your-hairbrush-and-sing-into-it dance THAT's what I'm talking about and THAT's exactly what Tainted Love embodies. We've seen this band at least half a dozen times and every time is better than the last. Friday night was no exception.

The night commenced at the Patty Shack where we all met for dinner so we'd have enough energy to dance and sing the night away.

Burgers, Fries and Beer, Oh My

After dinner we stopped by Bobbie D's... AKA Diviest-of-Dive Bars. Located in the heart of Redwood City and conveniently sharing a wall with the local Bail Bonds, this sweet spot has all the terrible live music and Jager Bombs your heart could possibly desire.

Thank you Luke for completely and effortlessly hi-jacking our girls' photo.

Then we were OFF to the concert! 

Tainted Love

Fun times. So, as we were jamming to the tunes... insert terrible picture of me dropping a beat...

Who sings this song? Yeah. Let's keep it that way.

Sorry as I said, amidst singing along I found myself (as I commonly do) making up words to a song. Not just making them up, but screaming them out. So I ask my friends, who are also singing, what the real words are... not one but ALL of my friends were clueless and making up words too. Have I mentioned how much I love my friends? Well, just to everyone on the internet can now know, the new words to Pat Benetar's "Heart Breaker" lyrics are... 

"You're a heart breaker, dream taker, baby maker, don't you mess around! Na na!"

Cary & Me

For the record, I don't think Cary was in the circle of friends who didn't know the correct lyrics. I'm pretty sure she can recite every 70's 80's & 90's song word for word with 100% accuracy and 110% jazz hands.

Me & Hubs ... as blurry as my lyrics

Another fabulous night with fabulous friends. Life is still good great.
