Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo (bug a boo)
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me (bug a boo)
And don't you see it ain't cool? (Bug a boo)
Come on, come on, come on
Yo, who's bugging who?
Destiny is coming through
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder
'Bout to hit why'all with the new groove
It's not hot
That you be callin' me, stressin' me
Pagin' my beeper, you're just non-stop
And it's not hot
That you be leavin' me messages
Every ten minutes and then you stop by
When I first met you, you were cool
But it was game you had me fooled
'Cause twenty minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full
So what? Talking 'bout your "feeling you's"
So what? Never told you to buy me shoes
So what? Now you're rolling with an attitude
Plus the word on the streets is you're a bug a boo
You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo (bug a boo)
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me (bug a boo)

'Bout to hit why'all with the new groove
It's not hot
That when I'm blockin' your phone number
You call me from over your best friend's house
And it's not hot
That I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin' me down (trackin' me down)
You need to chill out with that mess
'Cause you can't keep havin' me stressed
'Cause every time my phone rings it seems to be you
And I'm prayin' that it is someone else
So what? Ain't even like I knew you
So what? Tell your peoples I ain't feeling you
So what? Don't call me, I'll call you
'Cause cupid ain't shoot me, he shot you
You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
(Throw my pager out the window)

Yo Clef (what up? What up?)
We ain't heard from you in a while
So break it down for the chiren, Latin style
Destiny's Child remade uno
You wanna hate me now like Nas (ay, ay, ay)
'Cause you dos, tres, quartro
Thugs still in the dance
Ain't no need to bust you're AK
We all can get along or we can do it Carlito's Way
'Cause even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil, got the Lord plus this Desert Eagle
Way before birth I had this whole book memorized
I roll with murderers that just got baptized
I be allowed to see through the eyes of Zion
The New Jerusalem, so sing the hook and stop buggin'
You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me
And don't you see it ain't cool?

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
this song is a girl has a boyfriend and he is WAY over protecting of her and does not trust her and she wants to get rid of him
