30 Day Music Challenge - Day 9 - Song You Can Dance Too

I worked several summers at Cadet Camp as an instructor/flight leader. We usually had about 30 kids under our wings and worked in groups of four (One officer and three cadet NCOs) to train our 13 year old rookies in basic training. It was the most fun summers ever.

Alot of the same people I went to camp with when I was younger came back to be instructors. Imagine kids who were once the prisoners (a prison with girls mind you) that had suddenly been placed in charge of the institution. Much pranking and breaking the rules ensued.

I had an awesome cassette collection back then so I got recruited to run the music for the Friday dances. Just before sending them back to the barracks at 9pm I would get them all worked up with this classic from Billy Idol. Even the kids who were too cool to dance, danced.

I swear everyone of them returned with that sneer on their faces and pumping their fists in the air. Someone just needed to say the words 'ATTICA!' and all of the little darlings would have rioted and burned down the camp.

After all there was always a rumor that they put 'salt peter' in our juice to neuter our sexual impulses.
