Lyrical Lunchbreak: American Boy by Estelle

So I am currently on my lunch break and I had an idea!  You know... the kind where a giant lightbulb appears over your head and blinks incessantly until you pursue said idea?  

I am a bit of a music afficionado in my off time (I know, you are all wondering, "can this girl really have anything else on her plate?").  So I wanted to take my love of music and combine it with my love of handmade shopping!  I wanted to bring some groovy, sultry, jamming beats to your RSS feeds to break of the monotony.  So I encourage you all to join me in your own blogs and participate in the Lyrical Lunchbreak!

The challenge is simple.

1. Find a song.

2. Look up the lyrics to the song and post a small except of them on your blog.

3. Find items or photographs that illustrate your lyrics and link them in the song.

4. Share them in a blog post!

Today's Lyrical Lunchbreak is the song "American Boy" by Estelle.

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday
Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A.
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy

Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Café
Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good

Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm lovin' those shell toes
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy...

Thanks for "tuning" in!  Please comment if you participate so I can check out your own lyrical challenge.  DJ Christina peacing out.

What a great idea! I love it! Let me do some thinking, singing, and searching, and I will play along!
This goes well with my Music Monday on my blog. I always have a song in my head, and can always seem to find something to say about it. Now I can find pictures to go with too and post here.!
