All right all you children of the 80's, do you remember the Howard Jones song "No One Is To Blame"? The classic song of unrequited love? The other day I was driving with several of the kids in the van when that song came on. It is instantly recognizable and as soon as I heard it I said to Parker, "I LOVED this song when I was in high school." I started singing along at the top of my lungs:
'You can look at the menu but just can't eat.
You can feel the cushion but you can't have a seat,
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim,
You can feel the punishment but you can't commit the sin..."
At this point, Parker asks "Is this song about being overweight?"
LOL

PS. Here's a recording of the song on YouTube: http://youtu.be/21YIzNoc5Bw

We love Howard Jones. We've seen him in concert twice, the last time in a very small group and it was AWESOME! My husband and I danced to this song when we were in college.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm feeling old - I had two kids by the time this one made the top 40! But still - it is an awesome song and the music is tight! Great memories connected here!
