“Love Hurts”

I’ve had a migraine this week (along with the constant whooshing) that is finally getting better, so tonight we went out to our favorite sushi restaurant to celebrate.  We didn’t want to sit at the hibachi tables, but there weren’t any regular seats available either.  So we ended up sitting at the sushi bar, watching the sushi chefs assemble all those delicious rolls (some of which were made with a large blowtorch!).

It was hard to hear, because there were two couples next to us who were really enjoying their beers, causing them to shout and laugh quite loudly.  There was also music playing overhead, of course, so Brandt was having trouble hearing, of course.  I was sitting right next to him, which helped some.

I try not to sing along with music, because it really bugs Brandt, but sometimes I forget.  “Love Hurts” started playing, and I couldn’t help but sing along for a minute.  Brandt looked around, confused, and asked, “What are you saying?  What’d I miss?”  I laughed and said, “Sorry, I was singing ‘Love Hurts.’”  He nodded, still confused. 

I started singing again with the last line, “Oooooooooh ooooooh, looooove huuuuurrrrttsssss!”  Brandt again looked confused, and asked, “What are you singing now?”  I chuckled; “Sorry, it’s still ‘Love Hurts.’”  This time I signed “LOVE HURTS” as I spoke.  He nodded again.  “Well, that’s better than the last song, I guess…”  I smirked; “What was the last song?”

“‘Loafers,’ you said.  Strange topic for a song.”

Ah yes, the classic 1975 hit “Loafers” by Nazareth.
