call your girlfriend. tell her I’m a hussy.

this is one of the songs I’ve had on repeat lately… and yes, I added to the lyrics, but really it’s just stating the bottom line, not that the guy is any better… (watch below to make sense of this post :) ) and it scares me that it could have been me back in the day. I wouldn’t have actually been kissing someone else’s boyfriend, of that I am pretty sure. but I think just being good friends and hanging out/talking online or whatever is a slippery slope.

looking back I guess one might say that the relationship between me and Mr. D could have some similarities. but I don’t think it counts when I had first claim to him (I don’t think it’s any mistake that he met me promptly after coming to the States, and that I was the main constant in his life from then on through the years, even with our ins and outs :) ) and there was no actual relationship going on when we were chatting across the ocean, from any part of the triangle. but maybe just a little grey area? I guess you could watch our recounting of it (I think it starts at around 18:00) and decide for yourself. at the time nothing seemed off at all, but like I said, looking back and knowing what I know now, maybe…

the point is, “the heart is deceitful above all things” and we are never, ever short of justifications for pretty much whatever we want to do, particularly in the “all’s fair in love and war” game.

people allow themselves to be lead around by their emotions and feelings, and too often their commitments are only as good as their mood that day.

and it’s sad.

the truth is, I really miss flirting (can anyone relate to that?). Mr. D and I talk about it periodically – when we got married it was like trying to turning off our “game” or something (in relation to other people). it can be hard to flirt with each other when you’ve been with someone for a while, but we do manage here and there :) do you have any tips for flirting with your spouse???

these harmonies rock and I completely forgot how much I love the cup game!

and of course the original – just like with Somebody that I Used to Know, I like the cover and the original each for their own reasons.
I kind of really hate her top. but I super love her dance walk. good gravy.

    • do you like the cover? haven’t listened to a ton of her other stuff, but I am enamored with this one. and please tell me you hate her top, too. although, stupidly, it’s kind of growing on me. maybe after a few dozen more watches, lol

      • robyn is so adorable. huge hit in our house. you’ll start to feel her robyn-ness the more you listen. Body Talk is an amazing album, so is Robyn, the one before it. that top is a carpet! but damn those moves make up for it. check out these:

        • yeah I couldn’t watch Indestructible, but the song was good, lol. I really like her hair in that Letterman video, and the bear masks are funny.

  2. I miss the flirting. I miss the butterflies in your stomach when you wonder if he’s going to try and hold your hand. The whole “its still good, just different” is true. But its still different. Also, I’m loving these covers you’re posting.
