I've been doing this thing on my Whatsapp status (with @MyCrazyFandoms and @cupcake3006pg i guess but she mostly just posts Ariana) for 30 or so days now where I recommend a song each day so that people can one, get to know me better and two, share...
Sure, this is a great song in itself but I'm not an overly huge Anne-Marie fan though I do listen to a few of her songs here and there. The only evident reason it's in my top 100 is because of this funny story but I suck at narrating.
So, it was a few weeks back and we had this supply teacher in History. Uh, we've never seen here before and she sure was salty. Okay, basically Vania did this thing (I don't know why she did it but she did) where she started rocking on her chair. And she fell. Of course she fell, Because she's Vania. But the funny thing was (because she was in the middle row) with all these Covid precautions our tables are more cramped up than usual. So Vania was just stuck there not being able to fall down and crack her head or not being able to pull herself back up and proceed to begin rocking again.
Trust me, I had the time of my life.
That's why you should leave the art of Chair Rocking to the masters, aka me.
Right, now can you see the relationship between Vania's little incident and Anne-Marie's Rockabye? No? Well Vania rocked so hard she went bye bye.
We should do more of this story time; it's fun.
Favourite line:
'Nobody matters like you.'
