Break Dancing

I was driving to the book store in Phoenix one day when I came across a song I hadn't heard in a while. I caught the name of the group and made a detour to Best Buy to purchase the CD immediately. I love me some Midnight Star!




This song (No parking on the dance floor) takes me back to my days of ........break dancing! I loved it. Let's see. The movie Breakin' came out in 1984 so I was what--9 years old? I watched that movie until the tape in that VCR got thin.



I thought Ozone was sooooo "cute" as I said back then and I wanted to be that white girl in the movie whose name escapes me now because as far as I was concerned back then it should have been KATIE. (Katie and Ozone, sittin in a treee-eeee! K-I-S-S-I-N-G-eeee) OK so not the typical little I-want-to-be-a-princess-type of girl. I spent hours in the middle of my bedroom perfecting my head spins and flips, dancing my legs around each other while wallering on the floor, and doing the robot in front of the mirror so I would be ready in case I was ever challenged to a dance-off ......in ALABAMA. Of course I was ecstatic when Breakin 2 came out. (Electric Boogaloo baby!)



I was a punk rocker every Halloween like 3 years in a row and proudly wore my black parachute pants to school at least once a week. So every time I hear this song (and a few others) I get this overwhelming urge to boogy my legs around and spin on the floor making those cool faces. Can't touch my moves ---YOU DON"T WANT NONE OF THIS!
