My husband and I have a fun game we play during long road trips. If we hear an old 80s song, we'll declare an "all sing" where we have to sing along. So one trip I declare an "all sing" to the Flashdance themesong "Maniac" and I hear my husband belting out "She's a maniac, maniac on the go".
It's supposed to be this stripper who is an incredible dancer, but he sings it like she's a busy soccer mom running errands. Every time he tells me I'm a maniac about something, I'll ask him if I'm also 'on the go'.
