def….? leppard…? nightmare… must be

i woke up yesterday morning to the sound of def leopard.  i thought i was having a horribly nasty flash-back to middle school.  i had frightening visions of a darkened middle school cafeteria, strobe lights, and a fog machine.  it was the familiar drum beat, that song has the most recognizable drum beat and guitar riff… it was scary as hell, it was.  and suddenly from no where the lyrics… "paw sum suuuuugah on meeee-yah…. paw sum suuuuugah on meeee-yah…." drums slamming in the background and guitars growling through chords.  i roused myself just enough to realize it was the today show blaring in the living room.  and like a moth to the pretty blue light i got out of bed and went into the living room, sat down and drowsily (horrible adverb, that) rocked out to def leopard.  i may have rocked out, to the best of my ability when i’m half asleep and my eyes haven’t quite ungummed, but i still had those horrible visions dancing in my head, not of sugarplums or candy canes, but of those awkward dances.  in hindsight maybe it was a nightmare come to life.  i dunno.
