Strawberry Bounce

The world has gotten entirely too serious for our coquette leanings, and when it threatens to take us all down, I find it best to let loose and put on some ‘Strawberry Bounce’ from Janet Jackson’s under-appreciated ‘Damita Jo’ album. It also provides the opportunity to post a few mouth-watering pictures of the first batch of fresh strawberries that Andy found at Gade Farm. ‘Tis the damn season! And it’s Friday too!!

Let’s have our strawberry silliness.

I like to make it (bounce)You know I’ll make it (bounce)Now can you take it? (Bounce, bounce)Lose control…

I liked strawberries more as a kid than I do now – not that I mind them in the least, I’m simply not quite as enamored. Back then, strawberry was my favorite flavor in the Chocolate/Vanilla/Strawberry trio of a Neapolitan ice cream carton. Whenever given the option of vanilla or chocolate, I would choose strawberry. Turns out I’ve been rejecting binary options my whole life long. 

Gyrate then spin it like a yo-yoSlap the back and jiggle it like Jell-OHoney, if you came for a showI’mma make you lose control…

As for the ‘Strawberry Bounce’ of Damita Jo’s pumping ditty, indulge in these profound lyrics, give in to this sick beat, and hang on to spring like it’s gonna leave next week…

Ooh-wee, babyMy lips as sweet as honeyWhen I put it in your faceGonna make you spend your money, uh-huhCome on or you’re gonna miss itDing-dong, don’t you want to kiss it (lose control)
