OutKast - Hey Ya!..Makes me shake my.....

It all happened at my JOB!! And I really didn't mean for it to happen, but it did~This is my story...


I once worked for one of the biggest wine companies-(name withheld to protect the guilty) in America. This day they were having a wine tasting and celebration on the corporate lawn. Free Food, Free Wine and Good Music was flowing as I walked around and mingled with co-workers..At first I really didn't pay much attention to the House Band as they covered 'pop' songs, but then I saw that they had a couple of back-up dancers that were pulling people on stage to dance..Now anyone that knows me will tell you that I am not shy about getting on stage, but since I was in a 'work' environment; I decided to play it cool. Even when my co-workers from my dept started to encourage me to go up; I tried (really I did) to NOT go towards the front... Then they played Hey Ya!
Considering they were a cover band, they actually sounded pretty good; and my body began to betray me. I tried even harder NOT to go towards the stage, but as the music continued, I started dancing and people started to notice. "Go up there Lizz!" they were saying, even my Boss...And right before the got to the 'shake it' part...I was being led on stage by one of the dancers... "Well if you insist"...Oh how I wish I could have seen their faces, but since I turned around to 'shake it'.... I didn't get to see their reaction...Needles to say, one of the band members gave me a business card (wonder if that was a hint) and all of my co-workers were saying how they didn't know I could move like that...LOL!!! If they only knew, I went easy on them. HA!
