We've Got The Beat

I spent a musical Monday evening, after my munchkin was asleep, watching VH-1 ON DEMAND.

My husband had discovered that VH-1 was ON DEMAND earlier in the day and he had spent much of the day watching old music videos instead of sleeping as he should have been.

He knows my love of Journey and all things 80's music, so before he left for work he introduced me to the channel where all my memories live.

It was such fun sitting and watching those old music videos. I can remember being a teenager and spending most of my tv watching time staring at MTV and VH-1 and the videos that brought all my favorite songs to life. Whether I liked a song largely depended on the video of that song, and vice versus. I am a visual kinda gal!

Monday night was kinda like my teenage years... except that I am old now and there was a sleeping child in the house that could have awakened at anytime. It kept me from belting out too many of the songs and from dancing wildly to "Anyway She Wants It" and "Faith" and "Sweet Dreams" -- that could have scared the child for life had she woken up and come into the living room to see Mom behaving like the teenager I am in my head.

In hindsight, I guess I should have known it was going to be a musical Monday night for me, when around 4:00 in the afternoon my daughter crossed her arms and announced that she "was mad!" When I asked her why she told me that "she was mad because she did not have a drum set and she NEEDED to make music!"

Now some of you will think I am just making that up for the comic value it holds in my life, but I promise -- it was a true and unprovoked statement from my child. She really loves the drums and clearly, we are holding her back from her true musical calling - to be the world's first 4 year old drummer prodigy.

So - what was your favorite music video? Leave me a comment - I would love to swap stories.
