I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who may have donated. Again you have no idea how much it means. Not gonna spam this message all day today, don’t worry, but thank you to those that did… Thank you so so much. And to anyone who upvoted or commented or gave well wishes. It means the entire world to me right now.
For me, it’s “Jessie’s Girl”. The things we learn about this girl are: She has eyes, she has a body, at some times she talks cute with Jessie, she loves Jessie. Then the question, “Where can I find a woman like that?”
The contrast between the exceedingly generic description, and the exasperation (as if no other girl would suffice) annoys me every time I hear the lyrics. This is then multiplied by the fact that the song is catchy.
This is pretty much exactly what Bo Burnham said in one of his interviews, not about this specific song but just in general about those “love songs” which are like that.
This is a classic. https://youtu.be/fKmnKEjHSSk
Haha that was great, also led me to this interview between them.
But I was referring more to the whole “she has two legs, and two arms, and she breathes air, she’s the one!”.
Yes but have you seen the Jessie’s Girl scene in Boogie Nights? Chef’s kiss!
