Sorry - just have to share this (you know my weird humor) "We got the beat - Everybody get on your feet - We got the beat - We know you can dance to the beat- We got the beat - Jumpin',get down - We got the beat - Round and round and round - We got the beat. " Yeah - use to listen to the Go-Gos. Hope we can stomp some on Thursday, it would do the soul good.
