I am Jenn's Un-Talent

I have a few friends who knit and blog and we've decided to embark on a blog project that has nothing to do with knitting. We're going to take turns coming up with a topic every Thursday and we each have to blog about it by the end of that day and post links to each other's blogs so that people can see our different perspectives on the same topic.
-Thanks to Merryland Girl for this explanation of the Thursday Blog Project.

This week's topic comes from: Melissa @ Merryland Girl

what is your not-so-special talent (something strange, not artsy)?

Other contributors to the Thursday Blog Project are:

Froggie Knits Like Crazy

Desperate Madness

I can remember song lyrics. I can actually remember anything when it's set to music.

I know all the words to The Animaniacs song "The Nations Of The World" and absolutely LOVE Schoolhouse Rock's Grammar Rock.

I can honestly say that I have the pronoun song on my iPod (Rufus Xavier Sarsparilla)

When I was a wee lass, my dad often spent Saturdays in his basement workshop doing guy-type workshop things and listening to the record player.

My dad was quite fond of folk music, like Peter, Paul & Mary, The Kingston Trio, John Denver etc.

Fast forward about 20 years, I randomly heard the song "Lemon Tree" by Peter Paul & Mary and knew all the words. I was intrigued, and racked my brain to see if I could retrieve anymore of these historic songs and found "Bottle of Wine" as sung by Judy Collins - yup, knew all the words to that one too...

Several years later, I was watching the end credits to the movie "Thank You For Smoking" and what should I hear? Kingston Trio - Greenback Dollar

I sang along with the chorus.

I still know the words to 1990's New Kids On The Block songs, many 80's standards...you name it. If it was mainstream, I probably know the words. At the very least, I can sing the chorus.

And on a completely unrelated thread, having nothing to do with this week's topic but having everything to do with The Thursday Blog Project, I regret to inform that this will be my last group blog post.

I have had so much fun over the past months, learning so much about Melissa, Shara & Tracey but have decided that it's time to move on.

I hope to blog more independently, so stay tuned!
