"And everybody's hands go UP!"

But...I can't. 

"And they stay there!"

But...I really, really can't...

Thank you pop music for seemingly always telling us to throw our hands in the air. Because I love being reminded that it really isn't possible. Because I love throwing one hand in the air when everyone else puts up two. Because I love the strange looks I get when I can't put my hands up!!!

Thank you, DJ Khaled. Thank you to Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Outkast, Backstreet Boys, Black Eyed Peas, and Paula Abdul. I hope my one-armed fist pumping doesn't offend you. 

P.S. You should know-- even without BPI, we've all been tired of that lyric for longer than you think.
