A Wall Street Tribute to Katy Perry's Song TGIF - Last Friday Night

Not long ago, I was on a road trip and it was late at night in the middle of nowhere, 200 miles from anywhere, or at least any city whose name you'd recognize, and it was 2 AM in the morning on a Weekend. That song by Katy Perry kept coming on the radio. I guess people kept requesting it, you know the one: "Last Friday Night!"

Anyway for some reason this silly song got stuck in my head, you know how songs do that. If you don't know the song, go to YouTube and watch the video so you understand what I am talking about.

So, I got to thinking about the whole idea of the song; "next Friday night, we are going to do it all again," and then considered Billy Joel's song "We Didn't Start the Fire" and then I thought, maybe I should put some lyrics about Wall Street to the Katy Perry Song, who knows maybe I'll do a viral video of it once I am completed. Below are some lyrics I came up with - see what you think of it?

Last Week's Stock Market

How to Get the Most Out of Housework and Make It Fun

There will surely be a fairly high percentage of people who will endure a feeling of discomfort, displeasure or even pain at the mere whisper of the word "housework". It would be fair to say that most of us consider housework something we would rather put off, get someone else to do or just not even think about it. Having said this I am sure all will agree, it is simply something that has to be done at some time or another. And that's why this article could prove not just an interesting read but hopefully an insightful or even inspiring one as here we look at ways to make what is widely classed as a chore into something that can actually be something that is enjoyable. Maybe we can even turn it into an action or "To Do" we could look forward to? Ok, let's not push it!!

The first trick that comes to mind is playing music. We all have our favourite artists and preferred genres so whether it's rock and roll style or techno house music that gets your feet moving, put it on, turn it up and get into the grove. This can of course be played over the house system if there is one at hand, a PC or laptop or even an mp3 player. If you happen to be outside in the garden for instance there is of course the good old walk man with headphones but of course only when it's safe to do so!

The second brain wave is to grab yourself a hands free phone device. Again as with any of the ideas here, be sure its safe to do so whilst you are in action. Having the hands free with you while you are getting on with the housework can be a little gem of an idea because it's a way of getting those important phone calls done that you did not get around to doing. You could even have a chin wag with your best friend. Hey, they may even be doing the same thing their end too? It's probably a good idea to make sure you have sufficient phone credit cover with this trick though huh!

The third and final idea is an altogether cheeky one but can bring a smile to anyone's face. Hiring the help of naked butlers! Now let's get one thing straight, just because they may be called a naked butler does no way mean they are completely naked! It is widely known that these hunks wear an apron and the not to mention a bow tie of course! Now this can certainly be a super enjoyable way of getting all those ghastly chores done by someone else while you are free to put your feet up, grab your favourite chocolate bar or cup of whatever you love and enjoy the view.

Hopefully there may be at least one thing here that can turn something that may be viewed as a painful chore into a pleasurable experience. Maybe you will have some ideas of your own to share?
