Happy Birthday to Jason!

Jeff Giles May 16, 2008 13

Hey, everybody! It’s our pal Jason’s birthday today!

Now, normally, we don’t brag about our staff getting older — but today is a special day, not only because Jason is finally old enough to drive, but because he’s been given a very special gift by our esteemed colleague, Terje…and it’s a gift we must share with all of you.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you Terje Fjelde’s ass-rockin’ cover of Lionel Richie’s “Ballerina Girl,” done up right in honor of Jason’s special day. Enjoy!

    “I keep forgettin' you ain't young anymore
    I keep forgettin' that your prostate's gonna get real big
    I keep forgettin' how you're gonna gain weight
    I keep forgettin'

    I keep forgettin' what I'm doing here now
    I keep forgettin' how Christopher Cross got in my house
    I keep forgettin' where I let my damn car keys
    I keep forgettin'”

    Happy birthday Jared!

    You're paying me in cash, right Matt?

    “I keep forgettin' how Christopher Cross got in my house”

    On my own…
    In McD's house
    Where to begin? Ohhhhh…
    So many sandwiches, there just to be eaten
    Prociutto and Grey Poupon
    Binging like a pig t'il dawn
    Where's a bucket when you need one?

    Terje Fjelde is a Viking rock god. And Jason Hare is very deserving of another Cheerios-encrusted chocolate cake.

    Happy birthday, Jason!

    And…

    Bravo, Terje! That was a great cover.

    Thanks, Ted! I don't even know where that came from. I've been listening to nothing but Burt Bacharach and Richard Galliano for weeks. But remember, this is not an attempt to belittle mr. Richie's version. I think I speak for both Jason and myself when I say that “Ballerina Girl” is a classic and sweet little tune that deserves a lot more credit than it gets. Right, Jason? Right?
