The Lightning Rod

Lots of my life with God and people at the moment seems about me having to pour out my heart and be honest about my feelings, which can be quite tiring... so... i reckon that on my blog I yet reserve the right to indulge in a little frivolity and random babblings. It is for this reason that I have decided to dedicate this post to the enigma of weirdness, fashion questionability and lyrical dodginess that is...

(drum roll please)

Rod Stewart!!! (and the crowd goes wild :D)

Basically, the obsession that Rebecca, Derralyn and I have recently developed with this super-duper-uber coooool rock star of the seventies came about because of a hysterical birthday card that Dez got for her 21st with a picture of Rod on it wearing very very tight leopard skin pants and which said "Do ya think i'm sexy" This, in a moment of complete procrastination obviously led us to seek the song "Do ya think I'm sexy" on the net etc....

we found the song

(hopefully this picture also dissuades all mullet enthusiasts!)

we laughed

we laughed some more

we wept with laughter

then we began googling pictures of this indescribable charcter

then we laughed so hard we couldn't breathe

then we found the music video on YouTube and were amazed at the alarming sight of Rod wiggling his bum for the camera....

then we laughed some more :D

and then we added msn comments that went something like this:

Becs: "Rod Stewart will teach my husband about being sexy"

Me: "Rod Stewart: the sexiest man in leather and spandex since 1978"

etc

Info about Rod includes the fact that he was briefly in a band entitled "Roddy Rod and the Dynamic Duo"... he voluntarily called himself Roddy Rod :s ...i have no words...

These are some of the most interesting lyrics from "Do ya think i'm sexy":

He say's I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee

Never mind, sugar, we can watch the early movie

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy

Come on, sugar, let me know

If you really need me just reach out and touch me

Come on, honey, tell me so

all i can say is... you Rod my world :D
