I was sitting in the parking lot at Target during my lunch break (I'd gone to return some things for my wife) and I had the radio on and was reading a book. As I am likely to do in a parking lot, I looked up often, to check out the attractive young women going to and from the store. Just as I happened to notice one particularly fine feminine figure, Stevie Wonder's Superstition came on the radio. I might not have paid it any more notice except that as I watched I couldn't help but notice that the girl's hips bounced from side to side in perfect time to the opening refrain in the song, like a fleshy metronome.
If this were a movie, it would have been painstakingly planned to time the music to the young lady's hip swagger, and those of us watching the movie would have laughed, but somewhere in the back of our minds we would have thought "Oh yeah, like we would ever have music like that playing in time to her walk in real life."
How often, I wonder, does the radio or cd or tape, provide just the right soundtrack to real life?
