Take off, take off. Take off all your clothes.....

No-nope, not asking you to take all your clothes off now

One of the ways to stay connected with my kids ( a 19 year-old daughter and a 17 going on 18 year-old son ) is to listen to what they listen...

Music provides me the platform to communicate with my kids. Through it, I'd get to know their likes and dislikes. Through it also, it opens up other topics that allows further conversations.

I stepped out of the shower this afternoon and heard this "........take off, take off, take off all your clothes...." stemming from my daughter's room. The music was hauntingly addictive and I didn't want it to end.....

I then asked my daughter the singer and the title of the song.

Here it is!

Climb up the H
Of the Hollywood sign, yeah
In these stolen moments
The world is mine (do it, do it)
There’s nobody here
Just us together (shut up, shut up)
Keepin’ me hot
Like July forever

‘Cause we’re the masters of our own fate
We’re the captains of our own souls
There’s no way for us to come away
‘Cause boy we’re gold, boy we’re gold
And I was like…

Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just ain’t right
‘Cause we’re having too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah

And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive

Then, we dance on the H
Of the Hollywood sign, yeah
‘Til we run out of breath
Gotta dance ’til we die (duwop, duwop)
My boyfriend’s back
And he’s cooler than ever (shuwop, shuwop)
There’s no more night
Blue skies forever

In one of the comments of the video, someone made a connection of the lyrics of the songs to that of a suicide that happened in the 1930's. Out of curiousity, I Google-ed it and read more about the tragic case. As you'd have guessed, it created another chance for more tête-à-tête with my daughter!
