Don't Go, Jason Waterfall.

This will be a short one. My fav song in 5th grade was "Don't Go, Jason Waterfall" by TLC. Oh, you remember that song being called, "don't go chasin' waterfalls"? Ya, no one told me. I thought it was a sad love song where TLC was begging Jason Waterfall to not leave, because he was the one. The rest of the words don't make that interpretation make a lot of sense, but I was in 5th grade, so it didn't matter if the lyrics made a lot of sense.

What did matter is that there were many days at recess that'd we'd play TLC and "perform" this song. I would put on my baggie checkered pants and my white vans that had a hole where the big toe is, and I'd be ready. I had the distinct privilege of getting to be Left Eye (may she rest in peace). She did the rapping. I didn't know any of the rapping part of that song, but I confidently mumbled until we could get back to the "Dooon't goo Jassssson Wattterfall" part.
