Well, they are painting my house today. I was awakened rudely this morning by the sound of ambient DeBarge music and ladders clanging against the pavement of my driveway. What's worse, DeBarge or ladders at 6:30?
They had everything taped over and such, so it was freaking dominant when I backed The Colorado out of the driveway, tearing through the paper like the Miami Hurricanes ripping through the banner on the way to the field in the '80s. All I needed was a smoke machine and you wouldn't have been able to even tell the difference.
But that's not the funny part. Like I said, I heard the distinct sounds of "Who's Johnny?" by El DeBarge at 6:30. You remember, the song from Short Circuit! Anyway, when I finally got outside to ask them to please let me out of the garage at 7:20, "Who's Holding Donna Now?" was playing. Yep. Another DeBarge song. The question had to be asked.
"What is this, the Debarge Greatest Hits?"
The answer, sadly, was yes. It was a CD of the best of DeBarge. See, now, one DeBarge song a year is really enough. Any more than that is excessive. Two in one morning is downright ludicrous.
"You can never have too much DeBarge."
He totally said that. When I write my book of things you never thought you would say or hear someone else say, that's going to be the title.
You can never have too much DeBarge. He he he. Just had to say it again. Cracks me up.

Just thought of another DeBarge song. Rhythm of the Night. So whoever had the bet on all of their song titles being a question, you lose.
Know what I'm getting engraved on my next iPod? You can never have too much DeBarge.
Good to be in the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning light. Forget about the worries on your mind, you can leave 'em all behind...
