Do you know who this group is? Straight No Chaser started off as a group of college guys singing together at Indiana University. This video is from one of their original concerts with over 13 MILLION views (let me reiterate that...13,000,000!). They graduated from college and somehow became popular again over a decade later when one of the guys posted the video on YoutTube. Instant fame, overnight.
I am the proud owner of one of their cds (that's right, I actually own the cd--with cover and all!) and used to listen to the songs on repeat as I drove around the city of Norman in my red (or sometimes blue) Toyota Corolla. That cd was permanently in my cd player the entire month of December. I had to transfer some of the music onto my ipod in order to be able to listen to it as I walk around the streets of K-grad. It's simply not Christmas without some Straight No Chaser (isn't their name funny too?)
Today, I'm off to do five English clubs. I plan on showing some of the more advanced classes this song and having them try to understand the funny parts of it. I'm about to enjoy a bowl of veggie chili before I have to jet off to work for the day. I know I keep mentioning the fact that I am so so so excited for this weekend with friends coming to K-grad, but I don't think I've told you why they're coming. Today's video is a big clue. That's all I'm saying. Happy Tuesday :)
