Singing cab driver

[Young Drachma]

A few colleagues and I were on the way to dinner last night in Chicago and one of the guys I was with, decided to talk to drive since he was in the front seat as the rest of us were crammed in the back.

In any case...he videotaped the guy.

That's awesome. A few weeks ago my wife and I were in a cab (sometime in February, with snow on the ground). The guy had a very strong African (I couldn't tell you the specific country -- and my wife says he was caribbean, but, who knows.. it's really not that important) accent and started talking about the cold and how it makes him think of that song. We were like, "huh?" and he started singing...

"February made me shiver.. with every paper I delivered.. bad news on the doorstep.. I couldn't take one more step.." By the time he hit the chorus we couldn't help it and we were singing along. We got through a few verses before we were home. It was very infectious and put us in a good mood.

That was possibly the best cab ride I've ever had. It certainly beats the drivers that are on their bluetooth headphone and can barely be bothered to ask where you're going.
