Seriously.
Because forget Y.M.C.A.
There’s nothing but pure c.r.a.p. from the year I got bat mitzvahed.
Go ahead – tell me – what should we tell the DJ (my bro-in-law) to play? The one song I said shall not be played: Sexy Back or whatever it is. I’m sure I’ll nix others too.
Quick hits on preparations, 129 hours before The Event:
-bought out all the pansies Lowe’s owned – still need more (see? there are not enough pansies in this world, forget about testosterone)
-completed purchases of all outfits for daughter
-bought books for the centerpieces which will be donated (people in the store thought that was so cool that they gave me an additional 10% off)
-met with one of two caterers and felt wholly inadequate because I could not care LESS about the colors of linens (where IS that gene??)
-did seat assignments for Sat. night dinner/dance/party (people are being assigned by author name, like Bill Watterson, Daniel Pinkwater and Dr. Seuss)
-spoke to bro-in-law DJ about music and scheduling
-confirmed magician
I’m probably missing something but my better half did tons of things too like install window boxes, spraypaint seat cushions, make meals, do laundry. Oh – and our A+ babysitter stuffed all the out of towner guest bags last night. Sweet, huh!?
Ain’t no stopping us now.
What a scary thought.

Music, eh? How about a version of Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There is a Season)? As Wikipedia notes, “The most famous version is the chart-topping single by McGuinn’s famous rock band The Byrds, released in October of 1965, and one of the defining records of the entire decade.”
Incredible!
Hi Jill,
I was wondering how you felt about this story….

Don’t forget the camera. Take lots of pictures.
Sorry, no tune titles from me; you would laugh and your kids would run away screaming.
Anon – good suggestion! I might use that in the slideshow I’m doing. Thanks.
Unique – nuh-uh. I got some good ones that I can’t share with my kids too. I’ll show mine if you show yours.
King – my thoughts on the article: “Roseanna?” What were your thoughts?
Back in 2003, Bar Mitzvah Disco gathered a list of the top 10 Bar Mitzvah songs. The list starts with Celebration and ends with YMCA. Bar Mitzvah Disco notes, “The people have spoken and it turns out the people like really cheesy music.”
