Sing-out-loud to If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain...

I absolutely love Rupert Holmes Escape, The Pina Colada Song. It's one song you can't play loud enough or too many times. The lyrics are hilarious, "If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain", "I am not much into health food, I am into champagne."

Inspiration Monday! music videos help us kick our week off right and take our Monday's back! A sweet reminder about what's important in life like having fun, taking a moment for ourselves and the simple things in life.

Lyrics to Rupert Holmes Escape, The Pina Colada Song

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

Thanks Christopher! I love, love this song. I have listened to it several times today and smile every time. I love the end where he answers her personal ad not knowing its his own wife and that they have a lot in common they didn't know about.
