'The song' is just as effective whether you're ready to dance on top of the bar or fall asleep under it. Of course, 'the song' doesn't always have to be the remedy to a bad day or poor night out. The song that is a unifier, the one that gets everyone to passionately belt out with wild hand gestures, regardless of culture, gender, or creed. This song is the one that makes you, a poor man's Eeyore, and the rest of the downtrodden bar come to LIFE.
No, not your fave song at the moment or the one you like to wax poetic about once you've had one too many glasses of Riesling. It's a rough night - that is, until it happens. Your head rests in your clammy palm and your sleeve is getting wet from the drink condensation and you look about as happy to be alive as Kristen Stewart. It also doesn't help that you're nursing a poorly mixed drink that tastes a whole lot more like anguish than a vodka cranberry. We've all been there - you're in a bar, the mood is what you can best describe as 'meh,' your friends are either too drunk, not drunk enough, or talking to other people that aren't you (traitors) and you're left sitting there like a total loser.
