engineers

So recently I've been reacquainted with the Lion King soundtrack (after watching the musical)... and some childhood memories come back.

Like when I used to listen to the Lion King soundtrack on the stereo at home over and over when I was 7, singing along to Hakuna Matata and I Just Can't Wait to Be King (my favorite songs). The blue booklet that came with the CD had all the lyrics, and I would sing and sing and sing.. and entertain myself. The lyrics book would look like:

No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here

Free to run around all day
Free to do it all my way...

Blah, blah, blah... I don't remember the rest of the lyrics... But I remember the lyrics booklet had "Repeat x2" written after some lines, and I distinctly recall that I very systematically hit the "Repeat" button on the stereo (which actually just determines whether you repeat the songs after they're over or not) whenever the song got to that part, because unfortunately I was an engineer even back then. Everything reads like an instruction manual. Yeah, I thought I was doing something special.

And don't even get me started on how much I panicked when "Repeat Chorus" came up in the lyrics booklet. Sadly, I discovered there is no "Chorus" button on a home stereo.
