I’m SO glad you asked about one of my FAVORITE expressions: ‘Pirate smile.” Consider when a pirate puts to sea to do his job, to rob and steal on the high seas, what would make him smile? The sight of a ship he intends to chase down and rob. Consider athletics. An athlete is competing against another and he detects a weakness in his opponent, especially one he wasn’t aware of when the contest starts. If you know the athlete you’ll see him/her flash a smile, meaning, “Ok, I’m in a fight but I’ve discovered an advantage that makes me confident in my victory!” That’s a ‘pirate smile.’

Check out "Almost Famous Tiny Dance scene". It was featured in the movie Almost Famous, which as a music fan, you really should check out. I'll give you a quick set up for the scene. A kid wanting to be a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine is following around this fictional band called Stillwater. They are on tour and you see how the band is getting exhausted. And this scene reminds them of why they are in this business - it's about the music.

Good one! There's a funny joke about this song from the TV show "Friends", that it sounds like he's singing, "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!" But, you never watched "Friends", and I'm sure you have no idea who Tony Danza is. Tony Danza was an actor that had been famous first, for being on a TV show called "Taxi", then later a show when I was a kid called "Who's The Boss", and some movies. I believe when his acting career dried up, he became a school teacher. The joke is funny though, because I used to also think that's what he was saying, and I'm sure that me and the writers of "Friends" weren't the only ones to think that. There's a lot of funny interpretations of lyrics that people thought they were hearing compared to the actual lyrics. Though I guess it wouldn't make any sense if you don't already know the songs.

The teaching stint was part of Tony's career. It was a reality series on A&E. Tony is currently acting in a role on 50 Cent's show Power. Though Tony is not currently acting in any high-profile starring roles, he still is a very active actor, recently acting in a memorable role on Blue Bloods.

I entered the United States Air Force Academy in 1974, and I "smuggled" in a transistor radio (most don't know what that is anymore) which was strictly prohibited, specifically to be able to listen to this song. My radio was discovered, and I received significant punishment for it. I was more than happy to endure the punishment as this song meant much more to me. I can't relate to the scenes in the video of this song as they make no sense to me. What makes sense to me is I've been married to the same woman for almost 45 years, we have four amazing children, and nine crazy fun grandchildren, and my wife, my love, my tiny dancer, is a saint. If I weren't already secure in my relationship with God (which I totally am), it wouldn't matter, no deity would exclude me from their presence if I were in my wife's company. My wife will be a great ruler in heaven, and heaven will be just that much better for it--I'm just grateful God hasn't chosen to take her away from me, her children, her grandchildren, her parents, and everyone else that knows her. Thank you God for continuing to share one of your greatest gifts with all of us.

This song is so beautiful. For me (and I'm not saying I'm right or wrong about it) it's showing individuality. No one on Earth is exactly alike. Some people like certain things while others dislike the same thing. It can be music, lifestyle, fashion, animals, politics, religion, food, drink, social activities, etc, etc, etc. No two people are exactly the same yet we all have one thing in common. What is that one thing? We're all just trying to get through life living it the way that helps us best deal with it. The message is: Please don't judge anyone, because you don't know what they've been through or what they're dealing with. Just try to live the best life you can and be compassionate to others and hope they are to you as well. Biss, PLEASE react to Elton John's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". I looked it up and saw you previously reacted to Putri Ariani singing it on AGT, but trust me, you'll absolutely LOVE listening and reacting to Elton John's performance. You'll get to hear the instrumental part, which in my opinion really takes the song to a different level, and you'll get to hear Elton's magical singing and piano with his emotions as well. You'll love it, I know you will. One last thing, as many others have mentioned already, this song is played in a wonderful movie called "Almost Famous". The scene in which this song is played is the best part of the movie in my opinion. I realize this channel is for song reactions and not movie reactions, but it somewhat coincides since I can never not think about this song without thinking about that scene in the movie. You should check it out. If not, no worries, I love this song, I loved your reaction, and "liked" it of course. Thank you Biss.
