Have you ever had a song that just speaks to you? A song that makes you feel it was written and sung just for you and your life? I have a song like that. It helps get me through some of my challenging days. The days I just want to quit. The days I feel that I don’t have the strength or energy to do it anymore. The days I want to just give up. This song helps me pull through. The inspiring power anthem I am referring to is called “Don’t Give Up.” It is a very positive and simple message put into song. It just so happens to be by Yo Gabba Gabba. I know, I know. What can I say? There is just something special about a flamboyant man wearing an orange fuzzy hat and matching jumpsuit that gets me. The part of the song where the green striped monster puts his amazing vocal skills to use chanting “don’t stop” and “never give up” while simultaneously swaying his overly long arms and awkwardly dancing from side to side just screams to me you can do this Angie, don’t give up, never give up, your life is worth fighting for! Now I know that in the music video they are singing this song to encourage their friend (the weird red one eyed phallic looking thing) to keep trying and never give up as he has lost his toy snake. I like to think there is so much more to this song. I think it can also pertain to battling cancer. And you know what? I’m going to find myself again and be healthy again. I will not give up! I will never give up!

Looking
on the Bright Side…this song can very easily get stuck in your head for days at
a time, so there are days when my mind is constantly flooded with the message
to never give up. Not bad Yo Gabba
Gabba! You’ve done well!
