Bop to the Top and Get your Head in the Game.



I now know every word to every song and every dance move in "High School Musical."

We've bought the soundtrack.
We've downloaded the videos.
So far, we've only rented the DVD...but I see that purchase in our near future as well.

Why?

Dana is obsessed. She heard about the made-for-TV Disney movie from one of the second grade girls on the bus, and asked if we could watch it. I dutifully added it to the netflix que. Weeks ago. And last week, it arrived. And we watched. And an obsession was born.

Think "Grease" but marketed to the pre-teen crowd. No swearing, no sex (no kissing, even), completely G rated. Popular jock meets beautiful but shy brain. "Hey, let's put on a musical!" And so it goes....

For me, it was Shaun Cassidy. For Dana - Troy and Gabriella.

30 years later....and the music isn't any better. I still can't get it out of my head. (or my car, or my living room, or my computer.)

Dah Do Ron Ron, anyone? or perhaps another round of "We're all in this together...."
