The lovely Lorna over at Gin & Lemonade With A Twist Blog has started a new writing prompt.
She hasn’t named her challenge, so I have – Lorna’s Gin-spiring Prompt!
This week, we have the word: Time Warp
I have never watched the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Ever.
I would love to, but it’s one of those shows that I’ve never been close enough to the venue to watch, or there haven’t been the right people to go with when I have.
I haven’t even caught it on TV when it has been playing.
But…
I do know the TIME WARP!
I suspect everyone of a certain age knows the TIME WARP song and moves.
In fact, at the school disco last week, the DJ was also a lady of a certain age, and she knew that there were adults there (aka teachers) along with the tots who wanted Little Mix etc.
So, as she watched us bopping along with the Teeny Bopper majority, she decided to spin a tune for us too, blasting the TIME WARP out for us, doing the actions to teach/remind others, so we all had a great boogie!
There were some strange looks from the younger teaching contingency and the kids, but who cares! We were having fun! It was our disco too, you know! As a teacher, your social life is somewhat limited during term time, so this was our time to let our school marm hair down!
And we did!
The Macarena followed – had to be done!
Now, I don’t want you to think I am stuck in a musical TIME WARP…
I love music of the now, as well as the past, as I have to listen to the developing tastes of my kids, being exposed to more modern rap/pop/grime etc. I must admit, I don’t like it all but I’m aware, and you all know that I mastered The Floss last year too. See! Down with the kids, that’s me!
And because I am so ‘with it’ we are off to see Little Mix in Concert net year, and we are also going to the Jingle Bell Ball this year!
But I still haven’t found someone to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show with…
