When I was
very young, my best friend and I (who shared the same first name) had a little
club, which if I remember we called the “Searching Party”. It was a very
exclusive club, not so much because we wouldn’t allow anyone else to join but
because I don’t think anyone else was especially interested in applying for
membership. Initially our favorite song we “I’ve Been Working On The Railroad”,
which we typically would sing over and over again. (Fortunately for both sets
of parents, almost all of this activity was outside in somebody’s back yard,
rather than indoors.) At one point, though, the two of us did have a difference
of opinion on picking a more contemporary official club song. This one was my
choice; my friend wanted to go with “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow-Polka Dot
Bikini”. I can’t remember which of us prevailed – most likely we simply moved
on to other things. “Michael” has nonetheless remained one of my favorites over
the years (although I admit that “Bikini” is also on my iPod).
