Would you like this or find it unbearably cringe?

[TheEnterainer]

We have a friend with a birthday in a few weeks.

The number one song when he was born was ‘Cinderella Rockafella.’

As you’ve possibly guessed - if this was his birthday number one - he’s still a young lad and might be a bit shy and self conscious when it comes ti things like showy displays ! 🙌

His birthday’s at the beginning of March.

What my partner and I would love to do is an impromptu dance to this song when we all visit the local social club in a few weeks to celebrate his birthday.

I’m busy learning the exact lyrics for this song already!

i personally LOVE this song although some people apparently find it a bit twee

SO -

YANBU - it’s a lovely, gesture and great to take initiative at a time when most people are busy scrolling their phones and CBA to make an effort for anyone or anything!

YABU - ‘Cinderella Rockafella’ is a novelty record sung by seasoned performers and the ‘Average Joes’ of this world can’t carry off such a performance without it looking extremely naff!

I might smile and go along with it politely, but I'd be cringing inside.

I don’t think its that people can’t be bothered 🙄🙄

Dear God. I hope nobody ever does this to me! No. 1 when I was born was Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep and it's a dreadful song. 😬

What surprises me greatly is that this sing ever got to no1 if SO many people dislike it

I personally love it

But - I’ve read the room - I won’t do it

Dear god, please don’t!!

Do it.

He could be one of those newborns who was big into Top of the Pops chart action.

Fuck me, I'm cringing already! I do cringe easily though so I'm probably the wrong audience.

is this the “Cwying “ duet song on OFaH. ?

I have always hated that song . It’s awful , unbearably cringy. Please don’t do it.

Will he understand? You could rock up at my party and sing the number one from when I was born and I'd stare at you blankly as wouldn't have a clue

Noooooo. Never ever do a pre-arranged dance.

I've had this done to me. I've seen it happen at other parties. It's always terrible and embarrassing for everyone.

I think it’s a cracking idea…….be a good laugh if nowt else. I was born in ‘67 and I’d love my mates to do something like this. Go for it I say. Do yourselves proud 👍🏻😊

I've been "serenaded" twice in the past, once was my birthday.

I can confirm it's horrible, sitting there as someone warbles away while your smile becomes so fixed your face hurts. Both times there were lots of people watching.

Don't do it.

Do you value the friendship and does he have a good sense of humour?

sharpen your antenna, at least you realised, most do not lol

I remember that when it was in the charts and even as a child it made me cringe.

Ohhh, no. I don't understand why you would 🫣

I think I would want a hole to swallow me up 🙈

However, it's a lovely thought!

This is a joke, right? Best post for ages, thanks!!!
Also. Holy Fuck x 2

This 💯

Oh god, poor you. I can imagine sitting there with a rictus grin wanting to spontaneously combust to get the suffering over with. I think I'd have to pretend faint mid song to escape.

dear god

My first thought is absolutely no, but indulge me...

Is your plan to put the song on and then you perform a dance to it? Will people even know that it was the song when he was born? Will he even know? Or will the vast majority of people think wtf are you doing performing this 'look at me' show and cringe themselves inside out?

How to make someone else’s special day all about meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I would probably get up and go home if anyone did this for me.

Im 59 and I had to google this song. It’s very vaguely familiar and very very very cringey and awful

The number 1 when I was born was ‘Meatloaf - I would do anything for love’. Can I hire you and your partner to do an impromptu rendition of it at my local social club on my birthday? It’s not until November though 😂

I’m being deadly serious.
