ICON!

There is somebody living in my house that is very iconic. His name is Brady. There are lots of songs, movie quotes, dances and actions that I, or someone else will inevitably say, "I can totally picture Brady saying (or doing) that." His latest has to do with the Song by Bruno Mars called Grenade. Funnily (Oh, I am so using that word next time I play Mad Libs and they want an adverb) enough, Grenade is a love song (albeit unrequited love). The guy is singing about how much he loves the girl, and what he would do for her, but she doesn't feel the same way.

Here's a sample of the lyrics:

I’d catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I’d jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.

Sweet sentiment but, Brady has seen this for what it is, and has added his own voice. In our house the song goes like this.

I’d catch a grenade for ya... that would be dumb
Throw my hand on a blade for ya... that would be dumb
I’d jump in front of a train for ya... that would be dumb
You know I'd do anything for ya... (and to prove he's really listening) nice idea, but that would still be dumb
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain... that would be dumb
Yes, I would die for ya baby;... that would be dumb
But you won't do the same.

We still love Bruno Mars and even this funny grenade song... but we love Brady even more! He has made this song so much more memorable don't you think? Just try listening to that song now and not say "that would be dumb" after each line. I dare ya.

PS. I also reactivated my playlist just for this post so you could hear the long in real life.
