It happens every now and again…
A bit too much wine … after a bit of dancing around … the American Pie challenge!
Nog has yet to win. Anyone else out there know all the lyrics to American Pie? Eh?
I got 1 310 000 hits when I googled – so someone must know… 🙂

And just so you all know, it was Nog who (very foolishly) challenged me this evening …
HA!

What’s the American Pie challenge?
I think the Don McLean song is about the death of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper.
If it’s the movie … is it something about Band Camp? HA HA!!

Laverne, it’s the song – haven’t seen the film(s) – and the challenge is to see who can sing it best all the way through without flubbing the lyrics.
I reckon I got about 98% right. You see, it’s usually awhile between challenges so one forgets – especially if you have a crap memory like mine and extra especially after mucho vino.
I admit to mumbling my way through a couple of bits I wasn’t sure of, but I’m not a big fat cheater like Nog who watches my mouth the whole time and only mouths the words half of the time. You’re supposed to sing OUT LOUD so the mistakes can be clearly heard.

In vino, veritas — with added mumbling! 😉
If you’re both imbibio vino (or summat like that) how would you know you’d got ’em right?
Sounds like fun! Next time, include peeled seedless grape juggling, as well! LOL
