Prompt: 5.) Cheesy pick up linesCheck out this week's other participants here.
Cheesy pick up lines.
I've heard my fair share. I've used my fair share as well. One of my shining moments occurred at a sorority crush party at The Station. I'd had more drinks than I cared to count and was very nicely boozed. I spotted this really hot guy at the bar. He was drinking a beer, ignoring everyone who hit on him.
The song changed and "When I Kiss Your Mouth" starts blaring through the speakers. I decided this would be a brilliant opportunity to make my move. You see where this is going... I sidle next to him, lean over and in my best sexy voice started singing "Would it be so bad if I could turn you on..."
I know. I'm totally embarrassed about this stellar moment of Jaime flirting all these years later. But, whatever, it worked. I got the guy everyone else wanted. HA!
Three years later, it was my turn to be serenaded. Not by one guy. He convinced a group of THIRTY to sing to me.
We were both working that summer as orientation advisors. We were bored one night after a program and watched one of my all-time favorite movies, Top Gun. You know the scene in the bar where Tom Cruise sings "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" to Kelly McGillis? My comment to this was "I would DIE if someone did that to me."
So two programs later, I'm walking my students down Route 1 to get some free stuff from the book store when I see him and his group of students sitting along the brick wall. When I got within shouting distance, as if on cue, they all jump up and start singing "Do Wah Diddy."
I'm really not an attention hound. It embarrassed the hell out of me. My students all started with the cat calling and whistling. The ones who knew the lyrics started singing along. One girl started screaming that this was just the sweetest thing she'd ever seen. And another whispered in my ear that I had to wait to the end of the song and give the guy a kiss because he orchastrated this whole thing for me.
It was the longest rendition of Do Wah Diddy known to man. But I got my serenade and he got his kiss.
I guess the singing, cheesy as it may be, works after all...

I love the serenede scene. Umm. and you should be proud to snatch up the guy no one (but you) could get.
I LOVE it!! I once had a student sing that to me in the middle of class and I was SO embarrassed!! Your rendition sounds like much more fun. :)
That is a great story! I've always wanted something like that to happen to me and it never has. I'd probably be embarrassed also, but still, how cool!
What a great story. You are very lucky
SWEET! And so was he!
That is one of the coolest stories of a serenade I've ever heard! What a treasure of a memory!
Very cool. To be serenaded is on my Bucket List.
Visiting from Mama Kats...
So funny! I guess you have a better sexy singing voice than me since it worked for you. I cannot imagine that working for me! And how many girls can say they've actually been seranaded? : )
Too cool, just so cool.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless.
That is awesome! I love that story!
Aww.. that was sweet. Thanks for sharing!
That is a great story! I love that he had them serenade you!
How embarrassing and sweet at the same time!
fun. love it! cherish those moments and keep them going.
Never, and I _do_ mean NEVER underestimate the power of full-blown public attention..
I mean, it works, and usually works WELL.
Folks might claim not to like attention, but when they are on the recieving end, it's almost always a good thing..
Singing is not my strong point, I couldn't carry a tune with a bucket!
Great Story! I had a guy when I was in college stand under my dorm window and sing to me. He sang "You Light Up My Life" Unfortunately I wasn't there.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, such a sweet, sweet story! I love it. Congratulations on your Man : ).
kristen: i was proud, but the way i snagged him was pretty rediculous
mama kat: that's too funny! what did they sing to you?
#1: at the time, i wanted the ground to open up and swallow me i was so embarrassed. looking back though, it was pretty sweet.
Simply: yeah...i wish hubby would do stuff like that for me.
Ronda: he was a sweetheart
blueviolet: i assume you mean him singing to me and not me picking up random guy in the bar! :)
prefers: they were singing off song sheets and still flubbing the words. hopefully when you get your serenade, it comes with the right lyrics
jenners: oh, believe me, i do not have a good singing voice. i'm surprised you couldn't see the sarcasm radiating off the screen with that one.
Mrs U: and can you believe the guy who did this wasn't "the one"
Tabi: it's nice to find a good guy every so often
mama: can you believe that at the next program, we both got lectured that our relationship was getting in the way of our work
connie: i couldn't believe he got a group willing to do it
shannon: i was so embarrassed, i tried to keep my group walking past the spectacle...but they made me stay til the end.
brian: i haven't had many of these moments since then unfortunately.
jor: sounds like you have a story of your own to share...
otin: i can't sing either. my ex literally banned me from singing in his car because my voice was so bad. (or because he was just that much of an ass)
gladys: aww! i can't believe you missed your seranade!
Kaishon: he hasn't been my man in a long time. but i hope he's making some other girl really happy right now.
That's a great story...I wish I had a story like that in my hopper!
