College Kids Sing the Darndest Things
On my walk into the center of campus today, I heard three college students--male, and of the frat-chic sartorial style--break into (nearly) spontaneous song in (nearly) impeccable three-part harmony, while they were walking. These lads did not appear to be prepping for glee club performance, nor did they appear to have any reason to be singing, other than personal desire.
I was literally stopped dead in my tracks. I don't know why, but it was just so weird. The song they were singing: Chain of Fools.
You could have given me 1000 guesses as to what those three guys were going to do with their time before I would have said: sing an Aretha number, and give the kid in the frayed white Georgia Bulldogs hat a solo on the "you treated me mean, treated me cruel" line. I would have sooner guessed that they were about to pull out tri-cornered hats and started a fife-and-drum corps. Why I chose that example, I do not know.
Ch-ch-chaaaain. Chain of dudes.
