goodbye, girl..
because of its law & order syndication ("we know drama!!") and nba broadcasts, ive recently been inundated w/ commercials for the goodbye girl. is it just me or is patricia heaton lookin kinda old?
anyways, the song that goes along w/ the movie--and that accompanies the commercial--is one i didnt really know. yes, its suppose to be this well-know song so i apologize for my ignorance..
now when i listen to music, i really only listen to the m-u-s-i-c. the words sung are interpreted more as tones than as actual lyrics carryin meanin. this perturbs esther to no end cuz she is one who listens FOR the lyrics and meanin--the music is secondary. me? its all about how it sounds. rock on w/ me, mungmung..
so esther and i are cookin in the kitchen and im singin the song cuz it sounds good and i cant get it out of my head. after a couple of repeats, esther turns to me and goes, "you know, those arent the right words.."
i, w/ my great understandin of self, replies, "yeah, probly not. i dont even know wut im singin. wut are the words, anyways?"
"baby, goodbye doesnt mean forever.."
"oh", i think to myself. so wut was i singin? i had to re-sing it to make sure..
"maybe our love doesnt really matter.."
haha, im such an idiot..
the first mistaken word is understandable cuz of the similarity in enunciation. but "our love" for "goodbye"?? dont even ask me where that came from..
although, how perfect are those words for a cynical guy like me. course, esther goes on to think its my subconscious expressin itself. "gee, i feel so secure now that im married to you.."
man, you hafta admit though--the song does sound good whichever way you sing it..
gawd, im such a shallow frickin weirdo..
