Wordless Wednesday - Retro Roadtrip Humor

Sometimes the funny things catch your eye as you are on a long road trip...Like this camper that looked new, but was meant to look retro.  Or this plastic buffalo thing:


Thanks to satellite radio, a huge selection of old eighties tunes kept hubby from falling asleep at the wheel.  When this particular song came on I had to take a pic of the dashboard, as if in disbelief.

This had to be the cheesiest song I heard on our recent road trip up to Duluth, or more likely - ever.  The lyrics are below and I even included the video in case the tune wasn't familiar to you.  Seriously, I could not believe my hubby did not turn it off after the first 20 seconds or so. 

Note: I plead the 5th if this tune gets stuck in your head after watching the video.


 

See what I mean ;  )

I Wanna Be A Lifeguard - By Blotto
Selling shoes
Another loser working in a shopping mall
9 to 5
A slave driver telling me 'Get on the ball!'
A crowded store
I kneel before them
Misery beyond compare
Sweaty socks
A lady boxer
What's she got against fresh air?
I want an ocean and some sunscreen lotion
Take me to the beach with a thousand pretty girls in reach

CHORUS
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help)
I, I, I wanna guard your life
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)
Hardly any clothes (lifeguard)
Sand between my toes (lifeguard)
White stuff on my nose

Selling shoes
Another loser working in a shopping mall
I'm getting fat
What does it matter?
Nobody cares at all
But next July, I'll say goodbye to every out-of-it, dull-witted fool
Convert their feet into meters, marking distance at the swimming pool
Summer blondes revealing tanlines
I'll make more moves than Allied Van Lines

CHORUS
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (be a big man, now... get a great tan, now)
I, I, I wanna guard your life
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)
Sitting on my chair (lifeguard)
In the salty air (lifeguard)
White stuff on my nose
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help)
I, I, I wanna guard your life
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)
Lounging on the deck (lifeguard)
Whistle 'round my neck (lifeguard)
White stuff in my nose
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)
