BudgetPixel History: Laundromat on a Saturday Night One of the first things I ever tried here, was to create a "Rockabilly Song". It was the first and - up to now - the last. The idea was to create a song about meeting a girl at the Laundromat on a Saturday Night". That's what it was.

Lyrics: Laundromat on a Saturday Night
(Verse 1) Well I walked in late with a pocket full of dimes, Saturday mornin’, wasn’t feelin’ so fine, Got a busted-down washer and a tear in my jeans, Didn’t know I was ’bout to meet the girl of my dreams. She was leanin’ on a dryer, readin’ some magazine, Polka-dot dress and the prettiest smile I’d seen, When she tossed in a quarter and she winked at me, My heart went thump-thump like a washin’ machine! (Chorus) Oh, spin, spin, spin little washer ’round, My heart’s doin’ flips to that rumblin’ sound, Met my baby by the lost and found, At the corner laundromat in this ol’ hometown. Yeah the soap suds fly and the sparks ignite, Fell in love on a Saturday night, She’s my tumble-dry, my neon light, My spin cycle sweetheart holdin’ me tight! (Verse 2) She said, “Honey, you’re usin’ too much soap,” I said, “Darlin’, I’m just tryin’ to cope,” She laughed so sweet, nearly knocked me flat, Like a jukebox jumpin’ to a slap-back beat like that. We watched our clothes go round and round, Sneakers thumpin’ to that rockin’ sound, When the buzzer rang, she grabbed my hand, Said, “Let’s fold these shirts and make some plans.” (Chorus) Oh, spin, spin, spin little washer ’round, My heart’s doin’ flips to that rumblin’ sound, Met my baby by the lost and found, At the corner laundromat in this ol’ hometown. Yeah the soap suds fly and the sparks ignite, Fell in love on a Saturday night, She’s my tumble-dry, my neon light, My spin cycle sweetheart holdin’ me tight! (Bridge) Now we swing and we sway when the dryers hum, Got a pocket full of quarters and a bubblegum crumb, From rinse to wash to a love so hot, Who knew romance was a laundromat spot? (Breakdown) Well rock it! Sock hop! Flip that lid and let it bop! (Final Chorus) So spin, spin, spin little washer ’round, That’s the place where true love’s found, Soap-slick floor and a checkered gown, She’s the queen of the laundromat crown. Yeah the neon buzz and the chrome so bright, That’s where she said, “Boy, you’re mine tonight,” Now every week when the clothes pile high, I thank that washer for my rockabilly bride! (Outro) Yeah we met by the suds and the dryer’s gleam… She’s my laundromat angel, my teenage dream!

@chris70 - Eines der ersten Versuche hier auf BudgetPixel war dieses Monstrum, ein Rockabilly Song "Laudromat on a Saturday Night. Nicht toll, aber lustig.

Doch sicher! Die Idee mit dem Rockabilly Song ist super. Werde ich nach meinem Urlaub auch mal probieren ☺️
This would be great to play during a dance competition or ice skating one
