With a Smile on Your Face
I never thought about the concept of someone screaming off key until I was at a concert last night and suddenly I can't hear the blaring music over:
"AAAhaaaaaahhhhhhhHHHAAAAaahHHHHahhhAAAAAaaaaaHHH"
For the entire song.
My first thought is, I wonder if something is wrong with this girl, who seems to be making this incredibly loud jarring noise for absolutely no reason. Just screaming. But then the song ends and so does her yelling and she starts telling her friends how she doesn't want to have a voice tomorrow. Imagine the most nasal voice you've ever heard and add raspy, Jersey/surfer accent and you have this girl. I didn't get it either. So as I began pondering whether I complain to someone, move and hope to not get caught or what. And then the song comes on that I had been waiting and hoping to hear. But wait, I can't hear it because of the wahaAAAhhhhHHHHAAahaha wacko behind me. So then the visions of fists flying begin flying through my head.
The song ends and the dude next to me leans over, "if no one fills those seats up there after the next song, we're moving" which alleviated the idea that it was all in my head and actually not that horrifying a noise as I thought...as the girl starts talking about how she's going to be as loud as she wants to be, she doesn't care, yadda yadda yadda.
in my head I was was screaming as loud as she was.
I turn around and tell her I can't hear the music over her screaming.
She feigns shock.
And other than a handful of comments "directed at her friends" *wink wink* about how she couldn't make noise anymore, and some screams at normal junctures, I heard every song from there on.
Anticlimactic story? yes. But I am constantly surprised by the anticlimactic strangeness found in everyday life.
