The joys and travails of e-authors Sherry (Shara) Jones and Laura Hamby as they jump computer monitors first into the pool. Holding hands and plugging their noses, of course.

Ear Worms

I don't know why, but late this afternoon, while Sherry and I were writing together (Okay, picture two women in two different states, in different houses, at different computers, linked by the wonderous Internet and chatting via instant message while they write and that's us. See us waving?), it occurred to me that the theme song from Laverne and Shirley might be an appropriate theme song for us and our endeavors. So, here I am, trying it on for size. And, of course, stuck on Nostalgia Road, thinking about this show and how funny it was and how even now, "Lenny and Squiggy" are still "Lenny and Squiggy" even when I see them on different shows/movies.

Laverne and Shirley Theme Song Lyrics
Title: Making our Dreams Come True
Written By: Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox
Performed By: Cindy Grecco

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Schemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated.
We're gonna do it!

Give us any chance, we'll take it.
Read us any rule, we'll break it.
We're gonna make our dreams come true.
Doin' it our way.

Nothin's gonna turn us back now,
Straight ahead and on the track now.
We're gonna make our dreams come true,
Doin' it our way.

There is nothing we won't try,
Never heard the word impossible.
This time there's no stopping us.
We're gonna do it.

On your mark, get set, and go now,
Got a dream and we just know now,
We're gonna make that dream come true.
And we'll do it our way, yes our way.
Make all our dreams come true,
And do it our way, yes our way,
Make all our dreams come true
For me and you.
