This was one of the most Surreal experiences of my life.

Alright, so I'm taking a motorcycle training course. Tonight was the In class portion, paperwork, slides, blah blah blah, boring shit, but you gotta do it to get to the fun on-bike parts. It's in some old turn of the century, brick 5 story walk up loft space right in the heart of downtown Toronto, very hipstery, but an interesting building. You might ask why that's important, well I'm glad you asked.

About 20 of us are sitting there 45 minutes into the program, introductions are done paperwork is filled out, Getting down to the really boring parts. It's dusk, the light outside is that dark red/purple fading to grey you get on a muggy day, most of the lights are off in the room to show the slides and it's hot as well, an old circular fan is blowing, and the big windows are open onto the tiny dingy alley outside. It's around then that a police siren wails in the distance, and at that exact moment somebody out on a fire escape breaks into a sax solo from George Michaels Careless Whisper for AN HOUR.

It was so weird, like being in the background of some knock off Noir film.

Im never gonna dance again

What's even more surreal than that is getting a Carly Rae Japsen ad in my Careless Whisper music video.

Also Christ, the '80's. What happened in the '00's? Gah. I just look back and remember nu-metal and Adult Swim. No wonder kids still listen to classic rock.

Sounds more like an 80s movie where the main character survives a shoot-out with the power of jazz. ODEO> PUT IT MORE SUCCINCTLY< LIKE AN *)S MUSIC VIDEO>

That sounds pretty damn surreal. Life can be weird sometimes.

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

Oh I forgot to mention that instructor talking at that time sounded uncannily like Jeff Goldbloom, weird, pauses and "uhhhhh's" and all. I was considering recording him to send ot the Idle Thumbs guys.

Didn't help with that weird 80's feeling.

Oh christ hahahaha.

Was it the Sexy Sax Man?!

I'll admit, I never knew what the name of that song was until this topic.

@sgtsphynx: Yeah me neither, but when you search famous sax solo it's pretty much all that and epic sax, so made it pretty easy to find.

I fucking LOVE George Michael. Even with his latest album from 2004, the man still knows how to write a damn fine pop song.

That sounds like one of the most amazing nights of your life. You should cherish it forever.

I don't think you understand the meaning of the word 'Surreal'.

I should have known better than to cheat a friend

Being dreamlike, fantastical, unbelievable. I'd say it fits pretty damn well. If it wasn't for my brother sitting beside me and confirming that it was indeed happening I would have been hard pressed to believe I hadn't nodded off or something.

Jeez, go write a book!

Also, that song is so damn old and I wasn't even born at that time but I know it. Now I know what song to play in front of my siblings to dance stupidly to. Thanks.

Just laughed very hard at this with my dad for awhile, thank you haha.

Great song by the way.

And waste the chance that I've been given!

So I'm never gonna dance agian

The way I danced with you ou ouuuu

I love that song.

That is all.

Damn me and my unironic love for shitty 80's music!

Were you playing on Wild Wasteland mode?
