Did you ever not know what you had, and you had what you wanted?
...*Smirk*
So, it was about 1986, I think, and me n' my folks had gone camping at this campground, and we had Steve ( he of the Karate Kid incident, the Freddy initiation, the Kids In The Hall Snobbery, and the Tim & Eric humor) in tow.
Well, getting right to the point of the story, our campsite was on a hill, and it looked down on the lake, and also, upon a campsite below us at the shore of the lake, and on that site was a big-ass rock.
We had a perfect view of this rock, basically, and it even had a flat spot up top like a little stage.
And this little kid, oh...memory is fuzzy now, anywhere from 5 to 7, would climb on the rock, boogie around in a wobbling circle, and sing...terribly...
But the funny part was, he would sing...this made up mish-mash that was...an impersonation of the radio...but the words were all wrong, and medley-ed together.
It was like what an alien might reproduce describing listening to our FM emissions.
Now...what I think he was trying to sing...was "do what you do", by Jermaine Jackson, and...some other stuff...
But what it came out as was....
"Ghost-busters!!! And he didn't knooowww what he haaaaad!! And he haaaad what he waanteeedd!! And you know, what you know, what you know, what's in your heeeaaaddd!!!".
The "..know what you know..", part is what sounded like "do what you do".
I thought it was funny, but Steve hated his stinking guts, and wanted to push him off the rock, and acted out the kid being in pain with all his bones broken going *groaning scratchy death voice* "and he....didn't know....what he...haaadd....and he had...what..he wanted...".
So, that was good for a few laughs, but it later became a family meme.
Especially "know what you know what's in your heaaadd!".
The fun is in finding new ways to shoehorn it in.
Like, some shrink show, that can be about "knowing what you know what you know what's in...your heaaad!".
Or, some guy in some romantic comedy "didn't know what he haaaad, but he haad what he wanteed!!".
Y'know....that freaky little weirdo was actually pretty deep.
Hell, he's probably some accountant or doctor now, and doesn't even remember this shit.
Or, maybe he's out there, reading this, and blushing.
*Laughs*
Maybe he frittered his life away chasing some impossible goal, an icy woman, a 401K that evaporated out from under him, maybe he had a shitty garage band that went nowhere...and all along, he didn't knoooow what he haaaaad, and he haaad what he wanteeedd!!!
*Laughs hard*
Well, thanks for the memes, Weird Boulder Kid.
Gotta lotta amusement from 'em over the years.
Hopefully, I can pass 'em along for ya, and spread the joy you brought.
