Singing to Snoop in my cardigan

Picture it: A Saturday night house party. Except, instead of being in high school surrounded by people drinking Mikes hard lemonade and wearing Ikeda jeans, I'm surrounded by working professionals drinking wine and wearing Hugo Boss. For reasons I'm still a little vague on "Gin and Juice" is being played (because really, isn't that what all accountants listen to in their spare time?).

T: Um, did you know you are singing to this song?

Me: Ah, no I'm not. I don't like this song. At all.

T: But, but you were just singing. Really.

A moment goes by. Wine is sipped, talks of a taxing tax season are overheard...


Me: Holy shit. I'm singing along. Why am I singing along?

T: I just want to know when you learned all the words. Now, would you like a glass of gin, some crack and a ho to go with your cup of cranberry juice?

Me: Shut up. Just shut up.

You know, with all the drama in the LBC it's kinda hard bein' snoop D-O double G!

Ally- Thanks for the compliment!!

Bre- I feel we could be best friends. Well dressed girls with cool shoes singing to Snoop... the world might explode with that sort of coolness..

fo'shizzle my nizzle ... erm, I mean - you totally transported me back in time to high school house parties with the Mikes Hard Lemonade reference, except we were all in AE jeans (because we JUST got it in Canada then, how sad is that?). What a lovely way to start my morning back in town!

Jennifer said...

Brandy, you were just laid back with your mind on your money and your money on your mind.

Fo'shizzle my nizzle..like Carrie said! Word to your mother.

As someone who's had words of songs I didn't even know I knew in my head for my entire life, I can identify! It's like shock and awe for everyone else who witnesses it, though. :)

Living with an accountant who has an affinity for rap music this scene was dead on.

Too cute! Is it odd that I feel that song is a classic? I mean not in the sense that Etta James is classic...but...you know?
The album was called "Doggystyle" and I still have the TAPE I bought in the sixth grade. Yes. I am admitting that.

Snoop Dogg?? I could ahve sworn Gin & Juice was a Blues Traveller song - and according to the cpver of this month's "Business in Vancouvbre", accountants are "Brnging Sexy Back", so maybe it's a tend :)

megabrooke said...

haha, classic. love that song.
and ruby's tape reference cracked me up! i've heard that blues traveller version, and seriously, it does it no justice. whatsoever.

You know, thats a classic album, so far as rap goes.

Just be thankful you weren't singing along to the first verse of Ain't No Fun from the same album - that would have got you some very funny looks!

"Hmmmmm"

Just wanted to pop in and return the nice favor you paid me when you visited and left a comment on my blog.
THANKS!!!

Yours is kind of insightful.
And yep, referring to your previous post, after 2 years doing my blog, I'm a comment whore too. LOL!!

Have a great evening. :-)

Laid back. With my mind on my money and my money on my mind.

We all suffer from Snoop pollution.

Patti said...

It's a bit embarassing, but I know all the words, too. I'm not sure how that happened. And now I have it stuck in my head now! :)
