Growing up, my neighbor, Ian, had a video camera. Now a days, every one of us has this ability on the phones in our pockets, but back then it was a pretty rare thing. We used to make short comedy videos etc. -Pretty standard 12 year old boy type of humor. One other thing we did with the video was to record ourselves lip syncing songs. Each of us pals had a song that was sort of our specialty. My song was Young Americans. Back then, we didn't have the internet to help us look up the lyrics, so I had to guess at what the lyrics were. I butchered the lyrics, for sure. -There's no way I was singing "afro-sheilas".

Great song!
