*silence*
Let me explain.
Andy (who now goes by Andres because it's more mature? ha) has been a good friend of mine since high school. And this song takes me wayyyyy back to both that time period, and a very special project we worked on.
Andy and I are very creative creatures. Put us together and we create one weird, creative supermind. Accordingly, all the projects we collaborated on were fabulous. The best project, BY FAR, was one called "Enrique's Dance Video." Andy and I still laugh and reference this particular project because it was AMAZING.

I won't give you all the details, but it involved Andy (renamed Enrique) acting as Madonna with his two back-up dancers: me and one other girl. This was videotaped, shown in front of our HIGH SCHOOL class, and received a standing ovation, including an A from our sarcastic teacher with the following commentary: "That video was JUST WRONG."
Looking back, we were brave souls for doing this in high school, of all places!!
Anyway, I still call Andy "Enrique" to this very day. And this song never fails to remind me of our dance video.
...and in case you're wondering, you'll never see Enrique's Dance Video here :) Well...maybe someday, if you're lucky.
The Challenge so far:
this is such a cute story! and yes...you have been indeed very brave to play the video in high school! therefore good job girl! ;)
