"Everybody all aboard"

Corny, I know.  I am watching the "Obama Express" on CNN in HD, taking my time to catch the speeches, the waiving and to see, hear and feel the joy coming from all of those braving the bitter cold for the chance to just be nearby a part of history.

I'm safely in the embrace of joy and, when that happens, I usually get songs rolling around my head, so it's time to post another fun party song.  This clip blends a little of the old school with a blast from cinema's past.  Because it's only a segment of the full song "Party Train" by the Gap Band (music/lyrics by Simmons/Wilson/Wils) , here are the lyrics sung in the clip:

"Be sure to get your ticket / Hurry, don't you miss it / Everybody's got to stand in line / So make sure that you too will be right on time / Everybody all aboard / Everybody all aboard / Mmm - Mmm / All aboard / Don't you miss it, baby / If you miss that train / Don't miss the party train / Oh . . don't you miss it, baby / If you miss that train / Don't miss the party train / Everybody all aboard / Oh . . baby / Everybody all aboard / Mmm / Don't you miss that train / If you miss that train / Oh . . ho . . ho . . ho / If you miss that train / Don't miss the party train / Your ticket, ooh / Mmm - mmm / Everybody all aboard / Ho . . ho / Everybody all aboard / Anybody wanna take this ride / Anybody wanna ride / All it takes is a nickel or a dime "
