Love Songs

By , June 13, 2005

You know how when you break up or fall in love, or you just miss someone, every song you hear suddenly makes so much more sense to you? As an example, on Saturday night I was DJ’ing a wedding and the groom requested a special song. I played it, and as I listened, the lyrics overwhelmed me:

I don’t know what ya’ heard about me
But a bitch can’t get a dollar outta’ me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can’t see
That I’m a motherfuckin’ P-I-M-P

It really sank in. To think I’ve been wasting my time in a relationship for all these years when I *could* have been honing my skills as a pimp.

And when the song continued:

I don’t know what you’ve heard about me
But a bitch can’t get a crumb up outta’ me
I drive a Cadillac, wear a perm ‘cuz I’m a G
And I’m a motherfuckin’ C-R-I-P

it made me harken back to my single days– you know, back in the last century. Yah, it’s been that long. But with my new Snoopy Dogg muse by my side, I’m sure I’m on the road to happiness all over again. Plus, I already own loads of blue clothes, so I’ll fit right in with my new Crip friends. Or do they wear red? I’d better find out before the first gangsta party! How terribly embarrassing it would be to show up wearing the wrong colors– I’d surely be soundly chastised for such a fashion faux pas.

Love songs…they suddenly become so coherent when you miss someone.

  8. Peasprout says:

    @Pure Fun, But will you make it fun for me?

  9. Pure Fun says:

    @Peasprout, I’m always fun.

  10. Peasprout says:

    @Pure Fun, After I replied with that I wondered if I should have clarified that you list “making it fun for you” as your area of expertise on your profile. Just so people don’t wonder what I was talking about.

    Even though I know you were kidding (right?) I seriously think I am a looong way from being ready to go out with anyone. But I’ll keep you posted!

  11. Peasprout says:

    @Peasprout, Who says I am kidding?

  12. Peasprout says:

    @Peasprout, Okay, enough time has passed and I am officially ready to accept your offer. Let’s go out.
