Stand and Deliver

While resorting, Adrienne nearly perfected the art of standing up. Thankfully, there was a full diaper and soft bedding to catch her bum on the way down.






Then when we got home, she totally perfected the fully-evolved upright standing thing. Now, every baby blog needs a video of this momentous occasion. But what music to put to it?

R.E.M., "Stand" - Too predictable.

The Beatles, "I Saw Her Standing There" - Sweet but not totally right.

Bob Marley, "Get Up, Stand Up" - Yeah, but too slow for this exciting moment.

Elton John, "I'm Still Standing" - Fun, but it's basically an f-u song. So no.

Adam Ant, "Stand and Deliver" - Perfect. Just the right amount of edge for this baby.

Guess it won't be long now till "Walk this Way". Or will it be "Walk Like an Egyptian"?

"Walk On" by U2, perhaps? Or maybe "Put One Foot In Front Of the Other" from that Rankin/Bass Christmas special with the Winter Warlock & Kris Kringle's creepy red beard.
