Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems that you're avoiding me
I'm ok alone but you've got something I need

Well, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
I've been lookin' around a while
You got somethin' for me
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive I've been all around the world
Some people say I've done all right for a girl
Oh yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah-yeah

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I wish I'd had a prom! I want a prom theme!

Not if it's that stupid Tevin Campbell friendship song, you don't. t /still bitter

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also, I've never paid attention to the lyrics of "Brand New Key", but I had no idea it was about anything other than rollerskates and keys.

So how about "Push Push (in The Bush)" or "Push It"? Playground roughhousing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not if it's that stupid Tevin Campbell friendship song, you don't.

Which one?

I'm under some delusion it would have been "I Want Your Sex." It's a happy place, up here in my head.

"Kinky Reggae" is your official prom theme. Now you need a date. And a prom dress.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is very neat.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

So how about "Push Push (in The Bush)" or "Push It"? Playground roughhousing?

Of course! Note: I have no idea what I'm talking about, having never heard either of these songs. I think the last time I heard "Brand New Key", I was maybe 12.

I think you've misplaced my high school.

I dunno. I kind of half have it in my head, something about tomorrow being brighter for you and for me? And get up get up get up?

I'm under some delusion it would have been "I Want Your Sex." It's a happy place, up here in my head.

Yeah, that sounds likely.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Plucked his eyebrows then he was a she."

I think that was "Plucked his eyebrows on the way/Shaved his legs and then he was a she". Now I can't remember who thought s/he was James Dean for a day.

It really is amazing what they'll play on the radio.
