Carl and I were driving around town this weekend running errands, listenting to music, and chatting, (The kids were with my dad - yay!) and a Journey song comes on the radio.
M: Oh, this is probably one of my favorite Journey songs (even though I can't remember the name of it right now).
C: I have always liked their song Circus
M: Circus? I don't remember a Journey song called Circus? How does it go?
C: You know -- doing something that sounds like singing/talking/humming -- "the circus life, under the big top"... it is about them being on tour and away from their families. It was a really popular song.
M: Carl, I swear they never had a song called Circus! I would remember something like that, and that just doesn't ring a bell... are you sure?
C: (getting REALLY agitated) YES, I'm sure.
M: I don' t know, honey. I just don't think there was...
C: Marni, there was a song called Circus. Trust me.
M: OK, OK... so they had a song called Circus (and I'm thinking - I'll be checking out my albums once we get home).
Fast forward to later on that evening. We met several friends to go see Talledega Nights (which is extremely funny - and another post). As we are watching the movie - low and behold - a Journey song comes on. Carl leans over to me so excited and exclaims:
C: HA! That's it! That's Circus!
M: No, Carl. That's Faithfully...
I think it pissed him off when I started laughing uncontrollably and he realized it wasn't because of the movie. :)
oops.

Have you shot up in the middle of the night remembering the name yet?
haha, i love stories like that!
Have you been to Haahnster's place today?
And that was an everyday occurence in Beth-and-Danworld, seeing as how I waste most of my gray matter on music trivia.
Too funny!!!!!!! I love it.
My husband and I will do that -- go round and round about what the name of that song, or this singer was. And then, we sit blot upright in bed at 3:30 am, going "Lee Van Cleef!" or whatever. Makes me nutty.
I'm with you on the Journey love. Haanster does NOT agree with us, blast his infernal soul!
Old Lady: Happens all the time, but not in this instance
Brat: Aren't they a hoot?
Beth: I went there after I posted and was surprised to see he talked about the same group
Ann: Love it, too.
Klee: We are always fussing about songs -- laughing the entire time --- wink.
LOL!!
