Why I'm Retarded: The First in a Series

I just caused myself to lose my voice during the thirty minute car ride home from D.C. because I sang along to a song way too loud.

  • This begs the question, "What song?"

  • I'll only agree with the retard assessment if the song is some pop schlock (Britney, Backstreet boys, etc.), or something ultra mellow (Norah Jones). I guess I might also consider the retard assessment if you say you were "scatting" along to an instrumental.

    I've done this same thing several times on road trips singing along to The Pixies, Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc. Oh, and there was that one drunken night in my youth where I tried to emulate Franki Valli.

    I am looking forward to reading the continuing retard series.

  • The song was "Le Low" by Hot Hot Heat. It's an awesome song, so I guess it's justified, but trying to emulate Steve Bays voice after a long day is not a good idea.

  • Hot Hot Heat are very cool, and I can totally understand losing your voice while singing along.
