"You'll Never Hear Someone Clear Their Throat The Same Way Again"

Recently I was able to support a friend who sings in a band. Due to the day’s weather, it was a hit or miss; I was thinking it would become a “miss” because, as the sun went down, snow flurries began & I wasn’t all that sure about making this trek to a place I’d never been when “winter weather” brewed.

While enjoying the music, which, unlike the first time I’d supported this friend, I found myself jumping off my seat & jamming, they began playing this, which, as I shared with another friend who was next to me, I’d lip synced while in college. College is a time for growing & it was a time when I was able to reach that “potential” within me - & I did. I'm very proud that I found this part of myself; it'd been in hiding for way too long. 😊

I danced to that song at the concert & still knew every single word. It’s when I think of these moments that I find myself reflecting back to the first Lip Sync Event I attended in college. Two guys, one dressed in a short, red sequined mini-skirt, with just tighty-whitey’s on underneath, the other dressed as he normally would, which meant some basic shirt & a pair of broken in jeans, danced "romantically" together to the song while lip syncing it, though that was a gray area at one point (which is how we, the audience, learned that the guy wearing the mini-skirt wore tighty-whitey's underneath 😎, after all this was college & the shenanigans that come along with it too. 😂

Now, whenever I heard this I still (decades later) picture these two guys being college-age silly. Just as Dermott Mulroney says on this movie’s commentary which he shares with Sarah Jessica Parker, "You’ll never hear someone clear their throat the same way again." Because, during the commentary, Sarah, because she needs to, not because she’s acting at the moment, does clear her throat. And the listener is waiting for it to be a part of the commentary within the movie, almost an explanation from Sarah about the current scene. But it’s not.

Among other things to be learned while in college 😂: Her name in this song is Virginia as a connection to the Virgin Mother; Billy Joel is making a play while talking about being a sinner versus a saint. Although this was a part of everyone’s “sex-ed” class, that’s given now-a-days around third or fourth grade, right? So, no collegiate eye-opening on this one. 😎😂😏
