I workout in my garage.
I don't have a gym membership. [I'm young, fresh out of college, and trying to save for a place]
But I got a newly cleaned out garage equipped with a television, some weights, and a weight bench. [cause shortly following his accident, my recently deceased grandfather was convinced that he was gonna start working out and whip himself into shape]
And this one time I didn't have my iPod.
I left it in someone's apt and/or car.
Today I would have no music to blast through one of the old family room's stereo speaker.
Yeah,...
...that's right. I stick the Pod in the speaker and workout like it's 1989! [The Karate Kid Part III stand up!]
But not today.
At first it was cool, but then I couldn't take it anymore, so I went ahead and did something I never do: I turned on the radio. Just in time for Jonesy's Juxebox.
But after a while that shit got old.
So I went did something I also never do:
And while it was nice to sing along to the first Destiny's Child album, Ginuwine's debut, a few singles off of Whitney's first album, and some Quindon, what I really wanted to hear was this one song that I knew I had the cassingle for, but was now forever lost in the ether.
I couldn't remember the singer. But I know it had the original version on Side A and a Bad Boy Remix on Side B. [SIDENOTE: Didn't all R&B songs have Bad Boy remixes back in the day? Damn. Who did Puff Daddy think he was? Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins?]
And it may have contained that classic line you wish Missy Elliot would bring back:
HE HE HE HOW. HE HE HE HOW!
Not sure, but it could.
Yep. Couldn't even remember the hook or any of the lyrics.
And there it was on the side, recommended next in line on YouTube, in all its old school glory.
Gina Thompson feat. Missy Eliiot.
The things you do [Bad Boy Remix].
Act like you know.
