At the grocery store this evening I heard a pop song from the 1990s by Tonic with the lyrics: “If you could only see the way she loves me, then maybe you would understand why I feel this way about our love.” Well, if he made a sex tape, we would all be able to see the way she loves him, and consequently, we’d understand. Hey, it works for the Kardashians. And maybe if the singer for Tonic made the sex tape now, he could spur a resurgence in popularity for his band. (Or is he too old and has-been-y now for anyone to want to watch his sex tape?)
But hearing this song again, in listening to the lyrics, it struck me that everybody must hate this guy’s girlfriend. I mean, she must be such a bitch that everyone is always complaining to him about how can he stand her and so forth, so much so that he had to write this song to defend her, because he was so tired of having to explain it to so many different people constantly. And actually, so many people must so frequently complain about her everywhere he goes that he felt it necessary to actually form a band, get popular, and then record this song to be played on the radio all over the world just so he wouldn’t have to hear people rag on her everywhere he goes, prompting him to have to explain why he’s with her still to everyone individually.
Here’s the song, just in case you’re fortunate enough to be unfamiliar with it:
