The time I bonded with the L+D Nurses over KISS

Last week, I had a routine visit to the labor and delivery floor for one of my bi-weekly non stress tests. The nurse assigned to my room was quite chatty, making for a pleasant visit as she got me setup on the fetal heart monitor.

During the test, I usually watch TV or catch up on texts/FB chats and just enjoy some quiet time.

When the test was over, the nurse-midwife came in and started singing "Beth, I hear you callin'," a song I honestly was not familiar with. She stopped singing after the opening line to ask "Have you seen that commercial?" I had no idea what she was talking about and shook my head 'no.' She proceeded to describe the commercial and tell me the song was from the 1970s, so surely I must have heard it before.

I didn't want to argue, but I was pretty certain I had not heard the song before or if I had it was like 20 years ago.

The nurse came into the room and they started discussing who could have recorded the song. To all of our surprise, it was KISS. The next thing I knew, I was watching the KISS video on the nurse's iPhone so I could experience the song firsthand.

Then the nurse-midwife went on to tell me about the commercial, but she didn't know what the ad was for. I googled it when I got home and found it's a VW Passat ad (and it's pretty cute).
