Who Is This? Part 10
So, do you have any idea who this is? No clue? Okay, here is a hint - he was naked the only time you have ever seen him before. Did that do it? No?!? Alright, how about this hint - he was naked, swimming, and chasing a one dollar bill the only time you have ever seen him. Yup, that is Spencer Elden, aka the baby on Nirvana's Nevermind album cover. I know, this was easily the hardest "Who Is This?" post yet, but that's why it's fun to play. So, what has Spencer been up to since he posed in the buff for that album? I have no idea, nor do I really care. If I had to assume what he is doing nowadays, I would say picking up chicks at bars by using the following pick-up line, "Hey baby, I'm the Nirvana Baby, and yes, my penis is WAY bigger now".

Saturday's Video of Saturday
Here is a new weekly post we are going to try out and see how it goes. Basically, Alex is going to comb the internet for the dumbest/funniest/awesome-est/sexiest video he can find and post it for the world to see. However, this week Sambo found a video he liked a lot and took over for a week. Let's see what he's got this week:
Set up: I think I may have posted this video before, but that doesn't matter. It is that awesome. And it will get stuck in your head and you will love every minute of it.
Summary: Now try and make it through the rest of the day without singing those lyrics and putting the make of your car in the song. It's impossible. Also, how hot is the chick the singer is hitting on in this video?

Lyrical Lies - U Can't Touch This
This column will strip away the catchy instrumentals and analyze the ridiculousness of the lyrics in popular songs. I understand it is taking things to the extremes, but that's what I do - I go to extremes. I am not going to comment on repeating lines or verses other than to occasionally note how much repetition there is in all songs. In this addition, we take on our childhood and realize what is behind the song we have heard/sang hundreds of times. Remember this is a rap song so the lyrics are coming fast and furious, also there are a lot of lyrics.
Song: U Can't Touch This
Artist: MC Hammer
First off, that is the actual title with a "U" instead of a "You". How far ahead of the curve was Hammer? He was text rapping back in 1990 - impressive! I assume it will only be a few more years until Hammer pants are totally cool.
"You can't touch thisYou can't touch thisYou can't touch thisYou can't touch thisYou can't touch this"I only left this in to get you right into the annoyingness. I will spare you the rest of the repeats but he uses it 28 times!!! Lyrical crutch? I think so.
"My, my, my music hits me so hard"Like by a piano?"Makes me say "Oh, my Lord""A reasonable reaction...for a 60 year old lady. Isn't he a rapper? Shouldn't he be saying "what the fuck!"?"Thank you for blessing meWith a mind to rhyme and two hype feet"We all pray and pray for those hype feet - So useful.
"It feels good, when you know you're down"Confusion. Down like "Yo, I'm down with that?" Down with what? I do not understand."A super dope homeboy from the Oak townAnd I'm known as such"Again with the old lady or 12 year old boy reference - only those two demographics have ever said "super dope homeboy". I wonder if Hammer is a joke in the hood even when he blew up?"And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch"Agreed.
"I told you, homeboy"Really? You haven't actually said anything other than where you are from and you like your own song."Yeah, that's how we living and you know"How? Again - you haven't said anything about how you live. Is there another earlier part of the song? Wait - did you do another song other than this one!?!?
"Look at my eyes, man"Ten bucks says you never revisit this line and it won't make any sense after I read the next line."Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics"WINNER!
"Fresh new kicks, advance"Advance? Are there levels of kicks? Did Hammer level up?"You gotta like that, now, you know you wanna danceSo move, outta your seatAnd get a fly girl and catch this beat"OK, that part actually does make me want to dance. Good call, Hammer.
"While it's rollin', hold on"Holding on is the opposite of the dancing you have been telling us to do."Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's goin' onLike that, like that"No one knows how to pump it. For Hammer to assume that everyone is doing it right is absurd. Come on, Hammer.
"Cold on a mission so fall them back"Alright - I get it. You are just messing with us now - I mean no one knows what that was - did Hammer just have those word refrigerator magnets and just mess them up and pick out eight of them?"Let 'em know, that you're too much"This is the only thing I agree with you on Hammer - you are too much."And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch"
"Yo, I told youWhy you standin' there, man?"You said hold on because it's rolling"Yo, sound the bell, school is in, sucka"Whoa - great song-ending line. Drop the mike, Hammer!
"Give me a song or rhythm"Wait - not the end? Give you a song? You have been droning on for a few minutes. "Makin' 'em sweat, that's what I'm givin' 'emNow, they knowYou talkin' about the Hammer, you talkin' about a show"We know you are the Hammer - no one else in the world throughout history dresses like that.
"That's hype and tight"What is? Please use more nouns next time."Singers are sweatin' so pass them a wipe"A wipe? Who uses wipes for sweat? They make a specific thing for that - it's called a towel. "Or a tape, to learnWhat's it gonna take in the nineties to burn"Oh, awkward.....you ensured that your song will always be dated.
"The charts? Legit"What charts? You do know we don't hear your inner monologue, right?"Either work hard or you might as well quit"Way to be a role model, Hammer!"That's word because you know"I don't know but maybe know I learned a valuable piece of advice."You can't touch this, you can't touch this"Nevermind.
"Break it downStop, Hammer time"Is what's coming up "Hammer Time" or was that before?
"Go with the funk, it is saidIf you can't groove to thisThen you probably are dead"Nothing to say there - this is a 100% true statement.
"So wave your hands in the air"Like we don't care - or are we caring? The 90's were confusing."Bust a few movesRun your fingers through your hair"Oh - like Bieber. I am convinced the Hammer has no street credit what-so-ever.
"This is it, for a winnerDance to this and you're gonna get thinner"That's just calories out being more than calories in. He should have added something about combining the dancing with a balanced diet."Move, slide your rumpJust for a minute let's all do the bump, bump, bump"Nothing like seeing your middle school crush gyrating trying to figure out how to do the bump bump bump. (DISCLAIMER: This is a thought I had in middle school and only about girls older than I was at any point in my live. No pervert.)
"You better get hype, boyBecause you know you can't"So you want us to try something you know we can't do - pretty messed up, Hammer."Ring the bell, school's back in"School was already in - you said the bell rang.
"Break it downStop, Hammer time"Go. Stop. Stop. Go. Make up you mind.
"Every time you see meThe Hammer's just so hype"That is true - unfortunately no one has seen you in 20 years."I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic"Wait, Magic Mike!?!? Is Channing Tatum on this track?
"Now why would I ever stop doing this?"Because you only hit once and the money dried up leaving you with the same bills but no income.With others makin' records that just don't hit"I've toured around the world, from London to the Bay"London is close to a bay, so I'm sure that may not be that wide of an expanse. We may need some fact checkers."It's "Hammer, go Hammer, MC Hammer, yo, Hammer""Wow- really originaly nicknames.And the rest can go and playMore like playing a rapper. Boom.

Lyrical Lies - Ice Ice Baby
This column will strip away the catchy instrumentals and analyze the ridiculousness of the lyrics in popular songs. I understand it is taking things to the extremes, but that's what I do - I go to extremes. I am not going to comment on repeating lines or verses other than to occasionally note how much repetition there is in all songs. In this addition, we take on our childhood and realize what is behind the song we have heard/sang hundreds of times. Remember this is a rap song so the lyrics are coming fast and furious, also there are a lot of lyrics.
Song: Ice Ice Baby
Artist: Vanilla Ice
Song: Ice Ice Baby
Artist: Vanilla Ice
“All right stop
Collaborate and listen”
This is like lyrical red
light-green light. Stop! Now do something!
“Ice is back with my brand new invention”
“Ice is back with my brand new invention”
I feel terrible for not
realizing you left.
“Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly”
“Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly”
Now I feel you – harpoons
always be flowin’
“Will it ever stop?”
“Will it ever stop?”
Definitely, ipod says in
about two and a half minutes.
“Yo, I don't know”
“Yo, I don't know”
We have established that.
“Turn off the lights and I'll glow”
“Turn off the lights and I'll glow”
Where did that come
from? Ice’s style is like a rap version
of a Rodney Dangerfield stand-up routine.
“To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal”
“To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal”
Vandals by definition do
not rock microphones, they steal them; hence vandals.
“Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle”
“Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle”
This is an outdated
phrase. Maybe it’s just me but I think
of waxing someone in purely sexual terms.
I would NEVER “wax” a chump that’s for sure.
“Dance
Bum rush the speaker that booms”
“Dance
Bum rush the speaker that booms”
This would suggest that some
speakers are not booming. Pay your
speaker bills on time Ice.
“I'm killin' your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody”
“I'm killin' your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody”
Oh, shit! Street cred all over the place. Ice is so hard.
“Anything less that the best is a felony”
“Anything less that the best is a felony”
If that was true Hootie
would still be in jail.
“Love it or leave it”
“Love it or leave it”
That is what every person
does with everything. The sky is blue
Ice. The sky is blue.
You better gain way
“You better hit bull's eye
The kid don't play”
You better gain way
“You better hit bull's eye
The kid don't play”
That is actually almost
all they do. Kids are rarely not playing
or eating (or pooping).
If there was a problem
“Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it”
If there was a problem
“Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it”
This is probably the best
line in any song EVER. I cannot
criticize. I can't even say that lyric, the only way to communicate it audibly is by signing it. Try it - it's impossible.
"Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in, the Vega's are pumpin'"
"Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in, the Vega's are pumpin'"
Not a lot of confidence Ice, it took you two verses to get every one jumping? And what is a Vega? Wikipedia says it is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra so who knows. I guess we can cut Vanilla some slack since he didn't have Wikipedia...poor bastard.
"Quick to the point, to the point no faking"
"Quick to the point, to the point no faking"
Glad you said that, I was starting to suspect some fakin'
"I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon
Burning them if they're not quick and nimble"
"I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon
Burning them if they're not quick and nimble"
Not a bad line, but can he finish a thought?
"I go crazy when I hear a cymbal"
"I go crazy when I hear a cymbal"
Not even close. Look over there - something shiny!
"And a hi hat with a souped up tempo"
"And a hi hat with a souped up tempo"
What is a hi hat???? Oh, maybe he meant high hat? Wait - still dumb.
"I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo"
"I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo"
Whoa, how high is he? There's no one else singing dude.
"Rollin in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow”
"Rollin in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow”
Yea right – I do not believe you would ever
jeopardize your ridiculous hair.
"The girlies on standby
Waving just to say hi
Did you stop?
No, I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead"
"The girlies on standby
Waving just to say hi
Did you stop?
No, I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead"
And now I will attempt to summarize. I was riding in my convertible and saw some girls but I turned on another street with no people. See how efficient our language can be. Ice, you also might want to jazz up these lyrics - at least slap a Ho or something.
"Yo so I continued to a1a Beachfront Ave
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis"
"Yo so I continued to a1a Beachfront Ave
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis"
I find it hard to believe they are wearing anything at all if it is less than a bikini. Way to keep it PG-13 Ice.
"Rock man lovers driving Lamborghini
Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine"
Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine"
Really Vanilla? The guys with Lambos are jealous of you not stopping for hotties? Really?
"Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine"
"Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine"
A Vanilla with a nine is not threatening - possibly cute though.
"Ready for the chumps on the wall
"Ready for the chumps on the wall
The chumps are acting ill because they're so
full of eight balls"
More chumps, you should move. Finally a drug reference setting a record for longest into a rap without naked women and drugs.
"Gunshots ranged out like a bell"
"Gunshots ranged out like a bell"
I would say shots sound slightly more menacing than bells although maybe in Vanilla's white bread world of violence they play bells all up in each other's faces! BOOM!
"I grabbed my nine
All I heard were shells"
"I grabbed my nine
All I heard were shells"
I thought you already had your nine? I found a flaw in the matrix!
"Fallin' on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed"
"Fallin' on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed"
Isn't this the same street that was empty? Why didn't everyone go towards the street with the almost nude ladies? I'm getting frustrated.
"I'm tryin' to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene
You know what I mean"
"I'm tryin' to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene
You know what I mean"
Yes - the police came. There is no other way to take that.
"They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends"
"They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends"
That makes sense because from what I just read you got shot at and ran away in your car.
"Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it"
"Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it"
How hard did Ice push to get the word 'heed' out of his rap? I guarantee that delayed production 6 months.
"My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill"
"My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill"
Like a chemical spill? Environmentally horrific and potentially lethal to any living things. Not cool Ice.
"Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed"
"Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed"
How could we not hear them - you are shouting.
"This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice it like a ninja"
"This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice it like a ninja"
I will never NEVER speak ill of a ninja reference.
"Cut like a razor blade so fast
Other DJ's say, "damn""
"Cut like a razor blade so fast
Other DJ's say, "damn""
Whoa - they actually said damn!?! That's heavy bro.
"If my rhyme was a drug
I'd sell it by the gram"
"If my rhyme was a drug
I'd sell it by the gram"
I'm sure you would be more than happy to price it out by the pound.
"Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice"
"Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice"
First known reference to purple drank? Ice was way ahead of his time.
If there was a problem
Yo, I'll solve it!
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
“Yo man, let's get out of here
Word to your mother”
Second best line, not in song, but in English.
Yo, I'll solve it!
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Star Wars Cantina Song
DORK ALERT!!! Just watch this, it's worth it:
How awesome was that? If you didn't watch that video because you are either lazy and/or at work, then it is the music video for LMFOA's Party Rock Anthem and they dub the Catina song from Star Wars over the music. And it is awesome. It really does look like they are dancing to that song. I just felt like the dork world should see this video and I bet you are glad I did.

Lyrical Lies - Somebody That I Used to Know
This
column will strip away the catchy instrumentals and analyze the
ridiculousness of the lyrics in popular songs. I understand it is
taking things to the extremes, but that's what I do - I go to extremes.
I am not going to comment on repeating lines or verses other than to
occasionally note how much repetition there is in all songs. In this addition, the stuff in red is what the girl is singing.
Song: Somebody That I Used to Know
Artist: Gotye
Song: Somebody That I Used to Know
Artist: Gotye
“Now and then I think
of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die”
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die”
That’s where your mind
went right off? Remembering when she
said she could die? Kind of morbid.
“I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company”
“I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company”
How right can you be if you feel
lonely? No way this whole song is about
being dissed by a girl who made him feel lonely even when he was with him, right?
“But that was love and it's an ache I still remember”
“But that was love and it's an ache I still remember”
Well I was
wrong. It aches when you got rid of the
lonely feeling, huh? Do you now feel
smothered by being single? You are an
enigma Goyte.
“You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness” We know, we have all seen Jersey Shore.
“Like resignation to the end, always the end”
More of this super upbeat guy – he reminds me of Richard Simmons.
“So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over”
Very adult of you. You talked it out, decided to go separate ways but be friends – which no one actually means. Typical break-up. He doesn’t think they are actually going to still be friends does he?
"But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing "
He did not get the memo. Can you imagine how surprised she was when she heard this - "Wait, you actually wanted to be friends? Why? We aren't even doing it anymore?"
"I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough"
I guess she didn't know he is the only guy who likes to be surrounded by ex-girlfriends. What a bitch.
"No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records"
She has records? This changes things - dump that bitch.
"And then change your number"
What a bitch again! I can't believe she didn't want to talk to you!?!? And to change her number after only a few hundred calls - in-excusable.
"Guess that I don't need that though"
Poor guy, so many pressures in your life.
"Now you're just somebody that I used to know"
That's the definition of an ex! So much complaining.
"Now you're just somebody that I used to know"
What
"Now you're just somebody that I used to know"
Oh - Got it
Oh good- now we get to hear her side of the story...
"Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over"
Now it comes out - you are an ass.
"But had me believin' it was always something that I'd done"
And really manipulative. Nice.
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know-oh-oh
Sounds pretty realistic to me. Why would Gotye even let this part in here. Best case scenario - this song blows up, someone listens to the words, and everyone hates me. Makes no sense.
"(oh)"
I left this in here because you could basically put this under the entire song.
Now hit that repeat button about 40 more times on the "somebody that I used to know" and you have the rest of the song!
“You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness” We know, we have all seen Jersey Shore.
“Like resignation to the end, always the end”
More of this super upbeat guy – he reminds me of Richard Simmons.
“So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over”
Very adult of you. You talked it out, decided to go separate ways but be friends – which no one actually means. Typical break-up. He doesn’t think they are actually going to still be friends does he?
"But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing "
He did not get the memo. Can you imagine how surprised she was when she heard this - "Wait, you actually wanted to be friends? Why? We aren't even doing it anymore?"
"I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough"
I guess she didn't know he is the only guy who likes to be surrounded by ex-girlfriends. What a bitch.
"No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records"
She has records? This changes things - dump that bitch.
"And then change your number"
What a bitch again! I can't believe she didn't want to talk to you!?!? And to change her number after only a few hundred calls - in-excusable.
"Guess that I don't need that though"
Poor guy, so many pressures in your life.
"Now you're just somebody that I used to know"
That's the definition of an ex! So much complaining.
"Now you're just somebody that I used to know"
What
"Now you're just somebody that I used to know"
Oh - Got it
Oh good- now we get to hear her side of the story...
"Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over"
Now it comes out - you are an ass.
"But had me believin' it was always something that I'd done"

The Rubberbandits
I felt like getting a random song stuck in your head today, so please watch this video, you won't regret it:
That's all I've got for today, but it was well worth it, wasn't it? Try and get that song out of your head because I know I couldn't the first time I saw the video.......and can't get it out now, damn me!

Lyrical Lies - Boyfriend
This
column will strip away the catchy instrumentals and analyze the
ridiculousness of the lyrics in popular songs. I understand it is
taking things to the extremes, but that's what I do - I go to extremes.
I am not going to comment on repeating lines or verses other than to
occasionally note how much repetition there is in all songs. Get ready folks - it's Bieber time:
Song: Boyfriend
Artist: Justin Bieber
"If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go"
Right off the bat he lets you know - the Biebs is a clinger. You are warned
"I can take you places you ain’t never been before"
Like R-rated movies. But I don't like horror movies, they're scary. And my mom won't let me see nudity which is fine because girls are yucky and have cooties. Other than that we're good.
"Baby take a chance or you’ll never ever know"
You'll never know....unless you watch TV, he;s everywhere. After a few hours you will know.
"I got money in my hands that I’d really like to blow"
Bragger (I'm jealous)
"Swag swag swag, on you"
Whoa! You just swagged on my shirt! Ass!
"Chillin by the fire why we eatin’ fondue"
We are having fondue by the fire? Not on a table? That stuff gets really hot. I have a feeling this is going to end up worse than you swagging on me.
"I dunno about me but I know about you
So say hello to falsetto in three two"
Is is a good thing to go falsetto? And you didn't say one.
[Pre-Chorus]
I left this in. A Pre-chorus Justin? Really?
"I’d like to be everything you want"
I will totally not be myself, I will be whatever you want. That's every girl's dream...fake people.
"Hey girl, let me talk to you"
Talk.... right....
"If I was your boyfriend, never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you’d never be alone
I can be a gentleman, anything you want
If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go, I’d never let you go"
Wow - that sounds a lot like kidnapping. Your relationship will make TMZ and CNN! Way to hammer the smothering point him Bieber.
"Tell me what you like yeah tell me what you don’t"
Great - now i have to fill out a questionnaire.
"I could be your Buzz Lightyear fly across the globe"
NO FUCKING WAY!! He just said that. How do you resist a line about Woody here?
"I don’t never wanna fight yeah, you already know
I am ‘ma a make you shine bright like you’re laying in the snow"
This makes no sense. How does putting you on a pure white background make you shine? If anything it would seem to make you look imperfect. Come one Biebs, that's just science.
"Burr"
This is the only funny part of the song. Solid Biebs.
"Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend
You could be my girlfriend until the ---- world ends"
Now he is making presumptions. You have to wait for the DTR (Define the relationship). Also, big statement to say until the world ends - that seems like a good time to stop (kind of a Mitch Headburg shout-out)
"Make you dance do a spin and a twirl and
Voice goin crazy on this hook like a whirl wind"
So now you want a stripper. Classy.
"Swaggie."
Funny line number two.
"So give me a chance, ‘cause you’re all I need girl
Spend a week wit your boy I’ll be calling you my girlfriend"
A whole week - i would hope you are boyfriend and girlfriend - that's a long ass time with one person around all the time. Might want to re-think this one Justin.
"If I was your man, I’d never leave you girl
I just want to love you, and treat you right"
Now this is sweet. I wonder what he will come up with to finish this thing off?
"Na na na, na na na, na na na
Ya girl
Na na na, na na na, na na na ey
Na na na, na na na, na na na ey
Na na na, na na na, na na na ey
If I was your boyfriend"
Brilliant!

Lyrical Lies - Call Me Maybe
This column will strip away the catchy instrumentals and analyze the ridiculousness of the lyrics in popular songs. I understand it is taking things to the extremes, but that's what I do - I go to extremes. I am not going to comment on repeating lines or verses other than to occasionally note how much repetition there is in all songs. And away we go:
Song: Call Me Maybe
Artist: Carly Rae Jespen
"I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell, and now you're in my way"
-Wow - what an opener! Where to start? "Don't ask me" about what i just said 3 words ago? I could just skip back to the beginning if I had a question about the well. It's a good idea to keep looking at someone a secret - only bad things can come of that. Is she 15? Nope - 26. "now you're in my way" - oh I get it, the first verse sets this thing up to be a scorned lover song, probably filled with angst and substance - let's move foreword.
"I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way"
-If I have this correct you just threw your soul down a well. Yikes. This is getting serious and dark, quick make a veiled hooker reference - coins for kisses? Is she living in the 1930s? What aren't you looking for - you have alluded to absolutely nothing. Again there is a guy in the way - last time I checked you didn't even want him to ask you anything.
"Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going, baby?"
-So he did see you looking at him? Because earlier you made it seem like you didn't want him to know you were looking but now you are staring.
"Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?"
-That is not that crazy - the whole premise of the chorus is destroyed. This chorus is repeated 5 times so you cannot miss how wrong this is. What should you do, run away and hide - no, too juvenile. Sleep with me right now? Too whory. Exchange numbers? Maybe hit me up of Facebook? That seems normal.
"It's hard to look right, at you baby, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?"
-I am beginning to think this is just a courtesy to an ugly guy. No way that is your real number she is giving you. She can't even look at you!
"You took your time with the call, I took no time with the fall You gave me nothing at all, but still, you're in my way"
-Confusion sets in. He waited to call but when he did you immediately fell in love with him. Then he gave you nothing but he's in your way? What? Is he in your way because he is interrupting your throwing stuff in wells schedule?
"I beg, and borrow and steal At first sight and it's real I didn't know I would feel it, but it's in my way"
-Red flag! Red flag! You are a thief? And you admit it? Sounds like a kleptomaniac to me. Also, for the love of all that is holy, stop referencing "it" without ever defining what "it" is. Words can be deep if no one can figure them out - just ask Franz Kafka.
"And all the other boys, try to chase me, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?"
You give your number out to a boy you kind of want to call and I am supposed to believe everyone is chasing you? I call you a last call girl - you will give it to anyone. There is no maybe there.
"Before you came into my life I missed you so bad I missed you so bad I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad And you should know that I missed you so, so bad"
-No kidding - I'm glad you think I should know that but you pretty much covered it by repeating the same thing 7 times. Seems like a lot but count them - 7 times!
