The Most Inappropriate Memorial Song Ever

Excuse me
But I might drink a little bit more than I should tonight
And I might take you home with me if I could tonight
And I think you should let me cause I look good tonight
And we might not get tomorrow


Tonight I will love love you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight
I will love love you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Lets do it tonight

The above lyrics are from Pitbull's "Give Me Everything Tonight".  The song talks about getting drunk and taking someone home with you.  

This song reminds me of my grandfather.  

That's a solid seventy-two on an ickiness scale of one to ten.

Allow me to explain...my grandpa passed away on a Saturday morning in July.  Because the funeral was going to be delayed (due to the pastor being away on holidays), our family headed up to the lake on the following Tuesday.  After our bags were unpacked, I grabbed the iPod and the keys to the quad to head out on the trail.  The sun was shining, a warm breeze was blowing and I was cruising along.  This song began to play and I started to bop along with the beat.

And then the words, "We might not get tomorrow" were sung and I had to pull over because I couldn't see through my tears.  In that instant, the reality that my grandpa was really gone punched me in the gut. Of course, I had cried when I got the phone call that Saturday, but when we got to the lake...that's where I felt his absence the most.  In the 32 years I've been alive, I can count on one hand the number of times I've been at the lake and my grandparents weren't there.

To sum up...when I hear Pitbull, I think of my grandpa.  It's the first time in my life that I'm thankful our local radio station plays the crap out of any song that's popular.
