When I was 7 or 8 I found a mix tape in my parent's stereo system, labeled with my mother's handwriting. Being the curious little girl that I was, I pressed play. Out of the speakers blasted "Time of Your Life" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. At my young age, I had never heard of this movie or this song.

You know when you hear a song, but you've never seen the singers, you automatically come up with an image of what they look like? Well, the image I came up with were my next door neighbors, Bruce and Pam Sheridan.

For the next 5 or 6 years of my life, I thought Bruce and Pam sang that song.


I was very disappointed when I learned the truth.
