I Wanna Dink With Somebody (Whitney Houston Parody Song About Pickleball) | #FunnyFriday

We’re absolute PICKLEBALL ADDICTS here at Jigsaw Health. We even have a miniature pickleball court in the Customer Happiness Orchard inside our office! :)

BUT... we can’t go to the office right now. (Everyone -- except for Jigsaw’s Warehouse Warriors -- has been working from home since March 13th to help flatten the curve.)

AND... we can’t go to the pickleball courts either… they’re all closed.

SO... we did the next best thing -- we wrote a parody song, and then asked a bunch of our Pickleball friends to sing along to it.

We ended up with 180 video clips from 61 people. And it turned into the video you see above.

By the way, all of us are well aware that the COVID-19 crisis is no laughing matter — thousands have died, millions have lost their jobs, and EVERYONE is struggling right now in some form or another. (And if you and your family need help, please check out Jigsaw Health’s COVID-19 Relief Fund.)

But we also know that LAUGHTER is the BEST medicine. So please allow this attempt at comic relief… I hope it puts a much-needed smile on your face. :)

Never heard of pickleball? Check out this post What is Pickleball? It’s kind of like tiny-tennis, and it’s the fastest growing sport in the USA!

Wonder whose beautiful voice you’re hearing in the video? Believe it or not, that is Jigsaw Health’s very own Business Development Manager -- Ashley Leroux. She grew up singing along to Whitney, Mariah, Shania, among many others for inspiration…

When Ashley was 6 years old, her older brother asked her, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Ashley replied without hesitation, “An actress slash singer slash comedian.” Mission Accomplished!

Here’s a video playlist of songs featuring Ashley Leroux and Jigsaw Health -- enjoy going down that rabbit hole! What else are you gonna do now that you finished binge-watching Tiger King? ;-)

Can’t wait to see you again on the courts!

PS - If you're wondering, "Didn't Jigsaw do a Bon Jovi parody music video last week?"  The answer is Yes. ;-)
