First, I went with Kelsey to Pan Jueves, a little gathering of foods held by her group of friends every Thursday. Afterwards to celebrate some fellow American's bday, we went to karaoke. It was drizzling, and we almost didn't find the place, but finally reached it with success. In total there were 5 Spanish people our own age, 2 older Spanish women, and a dozen Americans from my program. Weird, I have never hung out with so many Americans at once this semester. The song selection was mostly "classsic" Spanish pop, with only 5 English songs. Unfortunately, I am not well-versed in Spanish pop, rock yes, but not pop. BUT ALAS: there was one 80s tune I knew quite well, translated as "Forget me and hit the road." Ah, yes, it's a duet between a man and a woman. So logically I asked one of the fellas in the group of Basques to sing along with me. It was awesome. Maybe it wasn't even that great, but in my head it was fantastic cos there I was on stage singing with passion in Spanish, and gesturing appropriately to the lyrics, with this guy I've never met before. Classic.
Here's the song.
