Tap like an Egyptian
Posted on Saturday, September 12th, 2009 at 9:02 pmI turned on iTunes and the first song it played is the version of “Walk Like an Egyptian” we tapped to in the 2007 Cherry Blossom Parade (my first Cherry Blossom Parade). And I realized that I have absolutely no recollection of that number. So I did what anyone would do: I Googled it. And, amazingly enough, there is actually a video of it on YouTube! From the back, but still.
Sadly, I can’t seem to find any other years, though I know that they were on the local ABC affiliate’s website. Anyway, no, you cannot see me in the above video; I think we were farther left. I don’t know. I’ve tried to block it from my mind. (No, I wasn’t a huge fan of the routine.) But still, it’s neat to see that it’s sort of saved for posterity.
Of course, if I were ambitious, I’d pull out the routine notes. But if I there were one word I wouldn’t use to describe myself, it’s “amibitious.”
(However, if anyone is feeling oddly motivated, feel free to see whether you can find the other numbers I did in the parade: “Singin’ in the Rain” in 2008 and “I Go to Rio” this year.)
