Actually, Rahul, it's "We skipped the light fandango....etc.," An all-time classic rock number.

Default Ah, "skipped" the light fandango.... that makes perfect sense as you could imagine one

skipping to the rythem of a light fandango, metaphorically speaking... I think what confused me there was "tripping the light fantastic," which I don't know the meaning of... and I mixed 'em up.... hmmmm....

Anyhoo, I blame daylight savings time for my discombobulation (sp?)... ;-)

I think "Trip the light fantastic" was a Three Stooges Line along with "Cut the rug"

Default It's from "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procul Harum .....

"We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray"

What can I say, Rahul, it was 1967 -- LOL, my senior year in high school.
