so much for napping. Isaac woke up.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's funny -- I remember, more than once, getting into a vocal defense of Bills, Bills, Bills while maintaining it was way different from No Scrubs. I love
I don’t want your number (no)
I don’t want to give you mine and (no)
I don’t want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don’t want none of your time and (no)
And would have it printed out on cards to fling at the applicable guys who push it too far. But half that song is, to me, about needing a rich man who drives and doesn't walk or ride, and that got up my nose.
Where Bills, Bills, Bills was just about fiscal responsibility, not actually acquisitiveness.
God, can I go home yet?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still like "Ain't Nothing Going On But The Rent," too.
God, can I go home yet?
Yes.
-- God.

Jesse, what's your opinion (dammit, I can't go home before everyone's back from lunch, it's not seemly) on R-E-S-P-E-C-T as sung by a man vs. as sung by a woman?

I would enjoy that. I don't expect anything extra by virtue of being a girl.

Oh god, I got into an argument about that today. And it was a stupid argument too, because that was so not the source of the issue.
I did the adult and reasonable thing and threw the sheaf of papers I was holding at the person.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Crap, now I'm really overthinking this: the passenger is on the sidewalk side of the car, and also I really don't want the driver hanging out of the car, for safety.
The offending hollerer is "hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride." So not so much with the safety issues. He also thinks he's fly and is always talkin' bout what he wants but just sits on his broke ass.
Yeah, the song is kinda "no romance without finance" but also, to me, a lot about wanna-be playas who are really just frontin'.

You mean the original? By Otis? It sounds off to me, and I guess it's because when it's sung by a woman it's reactionary and trying to tip things towards balance, whereas by a man it's more likely to be status quo.

I love the Otis version. A man needs his propers when he gets home just like a woman does.
