Don't move too fast, people, just take it slow.
Don't get ahead, just jump into it.
Ya'll here a body, two pieces to it.
Get stutted, get stupid.
You'll want me body people will walk you through it.
Step by step, like you're into new kid.
Inch by inch with the new solution.
Trench men hits, with no delusion.
The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin'.

Get it started, get it started, get it started.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Yeah.
I can't READ music. I have to hear it.

And so will I, Pirategirl! Partying with my friends of neighbors of all ethnicities and creeds, gay and straight, young and old, short and tall, skinny and "plump". . . long hairs and bald guys! And I will also be sending my very best thoughts and wishes to those who voted for the other guy, secure in the knowledge that most of them will also, given time, realize that the best choice was make for America!

Just look at the two conventions.
I don't recall seeing too many Blacks, Hispanics or Asians at the Republican convention.
They were all partying at the Democratic convention.

I was thinking "Can't You Feel A (Brand New Day) from the Wiz. And since everybody is from Adam and Eve, we're all Brothers and Sisters, I want to see everybody Black, White, Red, Brown and Yellow and everything in-between at the party!

I don't get it. Partying? This isn't a rap talent show, football, basketball, or boxing contest. Should Obama win, the first presidential thing he should do is to tone down or even do away with that wasteful inaugural celebration to show he cares about the less fortunate in the country.

That sounds like every Friday and Saturday night in my town.

Parties are given for different occasions. I remember hearing some buffoon on CSPAN said that she gave a party and baked a cake when former President Clinton was impeached. They partied when Bush was appointed in 2000 and when he barely won in 2004. What are you... a prude?

Good idea to be well armed, just in case? And a few days after, to hide my guns from Obama and Pelosi, as well as other gun grabbers in Congress.
