Anyway, one of the girls will turn 26 next week.
(Yes, 26. Do you remember 26? I do. I was 26 when G-Man was born.)
To help her celebrate, one of the other 20-something girls suggested that we make a music video. Birthday Girl is a big fan of the Backstreet Boys. In fact, she’s going to Boston next month to see the New Kids On The Block / Backstreet Boys concert.
So five of us are going to lip-sync to I Want It That Way. I get to be Brian (second from the left in the above photo). Our group includes three 20-something girls who all listened to the BSB in high school, Robert (he’s one of the girls, if you know what I mean), and yours truly. In other words, I’m the only person in the group who is not familiar with the song.
Yesterday, I downloaded the song to my iPod and have been listening to it on a loop. I want to get the lip-syncing down because I know I’ll be disastrous when it comes to the dancing. I’m not the most graceful thing on dry land. There’s a reason why I get all these sports injuries and prefer the swimming pool and water as my element of choice.
Last night I watched the real music video on YouTube and tried to “sing” along. I couldn’t finish because I started laughing so hard. In my mind, I kept imaging the unemployment line scene from The Full Monty. (I could only find the movie clip in Spanish)
And before anyone asks… NO! I will not post the video of our rendition of I Want It That Way!
Unless of course, I look fabulous!

Your Turn
What's the wackiest thing you've done for someone's birthday, bachelor/bachelorette party, wedding, etc? Did you listen to the Backstreet Boys? Have you seen The Full Monty?

Never seen the Full Monty before. When I was in college, my roommate in the sorority house was obessesed with NSync and BSB so I got my fill through her craziness. I LOVED NKOTB, even went to their concert two years ago. It was like being in middle school again!
Now that is a brilliantly fun thing to do, and I really like the song you chose. But I respectfully submit a new request for the video of this occasion. ;)
What a fun idea! I remember the Backstreet Boys. I haven't seen "The Full Monty," though. And I just canceled all my premium movie channels (since they started charging for them). But I can only watch "Avatar" 47 times without getting sick of it.
