Retarded Wawa Worker Amazingly Knows The Words To The Devo Hit Whip It
A retarded girl working at local convenience store correctly sings Whip It without mangling the lyrics. That Blue Yak Field Anthropologist Jeff Petroski reports:
It was amazing. I was in Wawa, and the girl who replaces straws, keeps cup holders full and cheerfully greets morning workers with a cheerful, "Good Mooornins", knew all the words to Devo's Whip It. It's very amazing indeed when you consider the lines:
"Now whip it. Into shape. Shape it up. Get straight. Go forward. Move ahead. Try to detect it. It's not too late. To whip it. Whip it good"
These are EXTREMELY complicated lyrics especially for the retarded. I've discussed the situation with several associates and we all agree that the song must have been sung at a retarded event or festival. Very patient care takers and trainers probably took months rehearsing the lyrics OVER and OVER and OVER again until the song was second nature. Did any of the trainers quit out of frustration? Did any handlers get mauled during the hours of rehearsal? I don't know as these training facilities are often miles away from humans AND I have a phobia of the retardeds.
I do know this though - it was a very "special" moment. Now please put your sanitized gloves back on before I call the Board of Health.
God Bless.

ROFL.. The reason why she knows all the words is because Wawa plays the same songs all day long, over and over and over again!!! You think it's a radio station. NO!.. It's Wawa at it's finest. I am sure everyone in that store knows more words to songs than they ever wanted to know!!!
OMG, my bff Cora and I tried out for the talent show in 7th grade with a dance routine set to Whip It. We had black tee-shirts, black shorts, black tights and red socks. I shit you not. I don't know why they didn't include us in the program.
Fancy - thanks for reading way far back in my blog.
