Stars in their eyes
Went to a night club with my mates and had talked briefly about a funnyish line to use if we needed some BS to enable a bit of conversation.
Well I was at one end of the club and my mate was at the other, both talking to two random birds, I laid on the line, " I am going to be on TV soon." the bird replies "Doing what" me "Stars in their eyes" now this was the pre arranged story, god knows why, but we were supposed to tell the tale and then have the other back it up if questioned. Well my mate tried to pull one on me. He was telling this girl at the other end of the club the same story, except instead of him singing he said I was. Well turns out the story didn’t get the immediate snog we were hoping for, either of us, but the two girls were actually from the same set of friends at the club. So they get talking about this shit line, but then they see us together and realise that hey there might be some truth, so the two girls approach us again, but the opposite girl to the ones we were talking to.
"So I hear you will be on stars in their eyes."
"Yep"
"Singing what" ...... Fuck me, this is where my detailed drunk plan had left a bit of detail out. So I thought quickly of an artist who was not gay at that time - George Michael, now I only knew one song he sang prior to don't let your son go down on me. And had no idea how it went, so out came the words, George Michael Careless Whisper. Now that was random, complete random song and artist, my mate was being asked the same question, looking back this is making us out to be a bit of a closet wham fan, but he randomly came out with George Michael ,Careless Whisper.
"What date" - mid October being the planned answer.
The two girls wander off, then come back with a bit more attention and we had a good night me hamming up the fact that I need to work on my stubble but I have the voice to a tee, the girls seem to love the guy and would love to bed the real thing, but hey I had to do, no sex but a lot of attention gained on my part. I told them I can't sing now as I have been contracted not too perform prior to the show and I have a 2 week training course on how to perform on stage, me and my mate just delivered bullshit after bullshit, we found it funny they were captivated.. 9 weeks later, I am working in my local pub, and in walk these same girls. I hadn't seen them at all since the night club, apparently they had stayed in every Sat night watching Stars in their eyes for my performance for 9 weeks. The penny dropped when they saw the smile across my face and the laughter coming from both sides of the bar. Did I pull nah epic fail, on their and mine part!!!
