Break My Stride

My Netflix queue is a strange and wonderful place. It's strange because sometimes movies end up in the queue that I don't remember ever placing there -- and it's wonderful because more often than not, when they show up in my mailbox, they are worth watching whether I remember wanting to see them or not.

Cedar Rapids was no exception. Super cute movie -- funny, poignant, some racy scenes -- and it had this gem in the soundtrack:

Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
In a little row boat to find ya
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned
Didn't want no-one to hold you
What does that mean
And you said

Ain't nothin' gonna to break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no
I got to keep on movin'
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh-no, I got to keep on movin'

You're on a roll and now you pray it lasts
The road behind was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast
And she said

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground
Oh-no, I got to keep on moving

Which was a pretty fun blast from the past. The video linked above has comedians talking about the song, which is pretty funny. But my favorite moment came while my boyfriend and I were watching a scene in Cedar Rapids where the main character was trying to decide whether to go home with with a hooker he'd befriended or a fellow insurance agent of the female, redheaded persuasion.

"Trust me, you should go with the redheaded MILF!"

Awwwww...
