I stayed in a store yesterday just because they were playing Stayin’ Alive ❤️

This is SO special, thank you for sharing the 💕.

Now you just gotta get her some skates 😉

graydad2.bsky.social•72 days ago

I love her and you. Tell her that’s the best way to get tired of your favorite jams. Try and work in some other jams. Nothing worse than that moment you realize you’d overplayed your fav jam.

graydad2.bsky.social•72 days ago

It might happen pretty quickly w that one.

dinosaurtwink.bsky.social•72 days ago

You really are doing the lords work 🙌

That was one of my all time fave dance songs back in the day! Happy upbeat music.

katiepdx1.bsky.social•72 days ago

That’s so awesome, I could do the same.

markginjapan.bsky.social•72 days ago

So did you? Did you eventually get around to taking her to funky town?

It might have been a cry for help, or at least a request for directions.

mrtoads.bsky.social•72 days ago

Your _good_ taste, you mean.
