My High School Prom Story | Etta May

She is terrific. I came upon her by accident and stayed for a listen. She had me in hysterics and then she broke my heart. What a wonderful storyteller.

Great singing. I think she was actually "holding back" to keep the focus on her story and not her immaculate singing.

I cried. I could see where it was heading, but I cried. Daddies are so important.

[@karenissimalovestrilogy75]

Had a similar experience--- It was the 7th grade Christmas dance. I was a VERY shy and introverted girl. Mama made a formal dress for me with gray material and dyed it green ( it was a hideous color! But mama made it for me, so I wore it happily!). At the dance, I was sitting in the bleachers, watching everyone dancing and having a good time, When Brian Lintz, one of THE most popular boys in school, with jet black hair and beautiful dark blue eyes, Came and asked me to dance. We were dancing to a slow song ( the boy WAS handsome , but he couldn't dance to save his life--- stepped ALL OVER MY FEET!), and I was in absolute heaven! And THEN IT HAPPENED. I started to hear a strange "clinking" noise all around us. When I looked down at the floor, there were a BUNCH of COINS scattered all over and around us! Brian went to pick them all up when the dance was over. IT TURNED OUT that Brian had made a BET with all of the other popular boys that he could get me to dance with him! I was SOOO embarrassed and humiliated, and it took me YEARS to find the courage to dance again! But word DID get around to all of the girls in our class that Brian Lintz couldn't DANCE for ANYTHING, And he never DID have any more dancing partners after that night! As a friend of mine always says: KARMA NEVER LOSES AN ADDRESS!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@MelissaNoble-dl2gb]

I get it Etta Mae . Never had a date until age 26. Friends in HS would beg me to go to Prom without a date. Never wanted that embarrassment of no one asking me to dance. But I'm sorry for your event. Wonder if people realize we use humor to cover our hurt. Proud you have made a great career! You bring happiness. Probably more than that jerk.

This lady is wonderful, what a story teller. If I'm headed toward depression I watch her and laugh the darkness away. She is better than any pharmaceutical.

[@gargoledragon]

She has a good voice singing Patsy Kline -- My prom was me at the beauty shop getting my hair done pretty dress and standing alone with the teachers watching everyone else I was so mortified as they whispered no one even asked me to dance I was the only wallflower not even any boys just me I couldn't leave since my family had dropped me off and went camping my mother was determined after the money spent on me that I would go to my junior senior prom---after and he prom she picked me up I changed to my jeans and cried all the way to the fishing hole.. Monday was even worse at school I didn't go to the senior prom the next year. I will never forget that I am now 67 fighting stage 4 cancer Etta May brightens my nights when I can't sleep from the pain God is my pilot and Jesus my co pilot.

Etta May popped up on my KZbin suggestions so I gave her a listen. Holy 🤬🤬 am I so glad I did. She had me in stitches & close to tears at one point in her prom story. Hilarious comedian! And that’s saying something hugatious bc not all comedians are hilarious. 😂😂

[@onedovealone1]

That one hit me hard.. I’m a Carolina country girl & the same thing happened for my Sr prom… everyone said I was pretty, smart & I was tiny but….. I was POOR. I was surprised when one of the most popular guys invited me. I was a seamstress by the time I was 16 so to get the money for a dress I took in sewing using an old singer treadle machine & made several dresses over a couple of days for the well to do owner of the local feed mill. Prom night came, my long raven hair up with ringlets hanging down… daddy actually allowed me to wear makeup…. Time came and went & the date didn’t show so my dad looked at me and said “Youngin’ get your ass in the car and go to that dance.. you don’t need no feller to take you, Now go!” The laugh was on the jackass jock because when I entered the room all of my friends began clapping & cheering because he had been bragging to everyone he was going to “ruin the nerds prom”. The look on his face was that of a small man that could have limboed under the belly of an ant. The laugh was on him & I had the time of my life. Lesson in life…. NEVER LET ANYONE STEAL YOUR JOY….

When he came to pick his date up, the 7 brothers went out to his car and told him "you're not taking *_our_* sister anywhere." He left and the brothers went back in the house.

My first time shaving was nearly identical to yours, Etta! I peeled almost the entire length of my left shin with a Personal Touch shaver that had a fresh, double blade! It looked like someone was massacred! 😂 I cleaned it up secretly for fear I'd get into trouble! I was in 7th grade & I had fuzz for leg hair! One afternoon, as i awaited my fellow students to enter the bus, Sean Newsome came in, & took the seat in front of me. He was handsome, rich, & popular. I had no interest in him, knowing he ran in a crowd that I was not a part of. I was the 2nd smallest kid in m.s. I was a shy dork with braces. Boys didn't look my way. Sean turned & smiled at me & adked, "Teresa. Will you be my girlfriend?" I replied, "No." When he adked why not, i replied, "Because you dont really mean it." He abruptly faced the front of the bus. I believe i must've shamed him because he never pestered me again, nor did any of his friends. I hated that city & after graduating, I moved nearly 4 hrs away, back to my hometown. I think it was our 20-year reunion that he walked by me during the party. He graciously smiled & said hello. I smiled, saying hello in return. P.S. Coming from a strict Wesleyan home, i was not allowed to attend school dances, prom, or movies. I snuck to the movies, & to the bowling alley that sold alcohol. I didnt sneak to dances in h.s. cuz all my friends & BFs were stoners by then. We wouldnt be caught at a dance in the early 80s! Lol!

Yes I had shaved plenty but the one time I used Personal Touch I ended up with the same skin coming off that she says I still have a slight scar & it happened over 20 yrs ago. Never used that brand of razor again😂

I remember in grade school, during Christmas when all the kids went to the auditorium for the secret Santa claus,. We all stood in line to get candy. If you were a girl you got a little doll, and the boys a truck. Every year, we would stand there alphabetically A through Z. Being Wilber I was always at the end of the line watching the rest of the kids get candy and toys. When I finally got to Santa, and he reached in the bag, there was nothing left for me, all I could do was smile and walk into the bathroom and cry. That is was I became a cereal killer. Lol

Greetings from Bangalore, India. I am a 64 year old woman....my, that sounds ancient! Proms are alien to us. At least they were when I was young . But I have read about them and seen in movies, TV etc and understand how much of a milestone it is in a young persons’s life in the US. I have been watching some of Etta May’s videos and find them humorous as well as though provoking. I found this video very touching. My heart went out for you, your mom, but most of all to your dad. And I so wanted to know how your brothers beat that boy Fargo up...did he learn anything’s? Did he have any decency to apologise to you? And how brave young Etta May must have been to go back to school next Monday. Thank you for this beautiful video. God Bless you.

Don't know how I came across you but I'm happy I did. A good laugh with southern charm is always great.
