Single Ladies (Ring on It)

So yesterday I was flipping thru the channels and happened upon the new Beyonce video. Have you seen it? Yowza!!!

It reminded me of a time we were visiting the Cranneys in Oakley. Called to dinner, I walked thru the living room to the kitchen. Grandpa was sitting in his chair in front of the television, watching "Solid Gold" on TV. Surprised, I told him I didn't know that he liked that kind of music. "Music!" he scoffed. "I just like the dancers."

Wonder what my poor old sainted grandfather would say if he happened to watch that Beyonce' video today? How things have changed!!!!!

I love that story about GGpa Cranney.

And that song is like glue in my brain.

Reminds me of my own Grandpa. He used to watch Friday Night Fights, which was boxing on the USA Network. I would ask him questions about boxing and he would say, "Boxing? I just watch it for the ring girls." Also, I caught him watching line dancing on CMT one time and I asked if he really liked country music and country dancing. He replied, "No, I just like it when the ladies twirl around and their dresses fly up so you can see their underwear." That was Grandpa, the closet pervert.

I havent seen the vid. But I did see her on Saturday Night Live. HOTTIE! She performed and spoofed the vid and it was hilarious. Justin Timberlake was wearing something unbelievable ridiculous. I think a leotard of some sort.

If you liked it than you shoulda put a ring on it... cant get it out of my head!!

I just watched it on Youtube. She's only wearing a leotard, and at one point she separates her knees quite a bit and starts grinding. Kinda really skanky.

I was torn between being fascinated and revolted at the same time, Jason.
