Single of the Day has turned 3 today!!
Yikes, yikes, yikes. It’s insane that I’m still doing this after three years in. Kind of a scary thought to say the least. I’ve certainly been exposed to a lot of good music and I’ve also dug thru my library of songs to bring some recognized sounds here as well. I haven’t stopped going yet and believe me, I’ve questioned it in my mind. I don’t have any immediate plans to stop but I do think that I need to get a little more creative once in a while with the posts like I used to in the past. That should be my birthday goal for this year, to get back to the fun I injected here…
As for the song today:
When it comes to this particular song I will always have the memory of Tokyo Delves in North Hollywood, CA. It’s a sushi restaurant. One that I have frequented many times whilst I’ve lived here in sunny Southern California. If you’ve never heard of Tokyo Delves let me do a little describing. The restaurant is in the side of a building sandwiched between a recording studio and a vintage store. It’s only open for dinner. It’s dark inside. There are flashing lights. Everyone is usually yapping and singing at the top of their lungs because they play loud rock and dance music. They’ve even been known to play some of my music there too. 🙂
The sushi is above average, but the experience is likely to be the most fun you’ll ever have eating sushi. You eat, you drink, you get merry. You dance on chairs, you dance on tables (if you’re bold). The servers do skits. The sushi chef’s do skits too. It’s one giant two hour party. I’m rarely ever known to be less than heavily buzzed when I come out of there. If you can go to Tokyo Delves and not have a great time, then something is seriously wrong with you. Every time I go, someone is celebrating something there. Generally it’s a birthday or a pre-wedding party. Thus this song gets played every time I’ve gone. It’s probably the coolest Happy Birthday song their is.
Leave it to Stevie to come up with a kick ass Happy Birthday song. Have you written one? Is it this cool? Wanna try me for next year?
