This was originally meant for a class project for my college ASL 201 class. But I decided, if I'm gonna sign Journey's classic 'Don't Stop Believing', I better own it and do the song justice. So I went all out. Although my dancing is something that still makes me cringe. Thank God you can't hear me sing....
(Sorry the video looks a little blurry)
Thanks to Stephen Torrence and his 'Party in the USA' video for inspiring this video.
-----Lyrics-----
Don't Stop Believing
Journey
Just a small town girl
SMALL TOWN GIRL
Livin' in a lonely world
LIVE LONESOME WORLD
She took the midnight train
RIDE MIDNIGHT TRAIN
Goin' anywhere
GO ANYWHERE
Just a city boy
CITY BOY
Born and raised in South Detroit
BORN GREW-UP SOUTH DETROIT
He took the midnight train
RIDE MIDNIGHT TRAIN
Goin' anywhere
GO ANYWHERE
A singer in a smokey room
SINGER SMOKEY ROOM
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
SMELL WINE CHEAP PERFUME
For a smile they can share the night
FOR SMILE SHARE NIGHT
It goes on and on and on and on
(CONTINUES)
Strangers waiting
STRANGERS WAIT
Up and down the boulevard
UP DOWN STREET
Their shadows searching
SHADOWS SEARCH
In the night
NIGHT
Streetlights, people
STREET LIGHT PEOPLE
Livin' just to find emotion
LIVE FIDE EMOTION
Hidin', somewhere in the night
HIDE SOMEWHERE NIGHT
Workin' hard to get my fill
WORK HARD GET MY FILL
Everybody wants a thrill
ALL WANT THRILL
Payin' anything to roll the dice
PAY [ROLL DICE]
Just one more time
ONE MORE TIME
Some will win
SOME WIN
Some will lose
SOME LOSE
Some were born to sing the blues
SOME BORN SING SAD
Oh, the movie never ends
MOVIE NEVER ENDS
It goes on and on and on and on
(CONTINUES)
Strangers waiting
STRANGERS WAIT
Up and down the boulevard
UP DOWN STREET
Their shadows searching
SHADOWS SEARCH
In the night
NIGHT
Streetlights, people
STREET LIGHT PEOPLE
Livin' just to find emotion
LIVE FIDE EMOTION
Hidin', somewhere in the night
HIDE SOMEWHERE NIGHT
[Instrumental Interlude]
Don't stop believin'
DON'T STOP BELIEVE
Hold on to the feelin'
[HOLD] FEELING
Streetlights, people
STREET LIGHT PEOPLE
Don't stop believin'
DON'T STOP BELIEVE
Hold on
[HOLD ON]
Streetlights, people
STREET LIGHT PEOPLE

Thank you everyone for the great comments and positive feedback. Glad you can all enjoy one of my dorkier moments of my college life.
To answer a question posted below.. I did preform this for my ASL class including the guitar solo. Scratched up the guitar tossing it across the room. Got an A on the project.
Also I've never been told I look like Val Kilmer but.. ok. Girls think he's good looking so I'm cool with that. :)
