Jennifer Lopez Lyrics
i just spent my friday night sitting around and playing video games... im glad i had this song to listen to.
i think you're both right.
i actually think i identify with jamie for giving the song this title.
ive actually always thought that jennifer lopez is a pretty tragic example of someone who is an entertainer and dancer and goes on stage and puts on the guise of being happy, but on a more personal level is kind of lost and unhappy and... keeps marrying people...desperately making unsucessful efforts to find someone to take away her loneliness, that always end in divorce
"you've seen me dance here alone before is it tough to watch friday after friday? "
I think the meaning of the title is more straight forward. Jamie said that Xiu Xiu came about after he came home one night from a gay club in San Jose. He has obviuosly gone out alone to gay clubs, and Jennifer Lopez's songs are frequently played at gay dance clubs.
The lyrics themselves are pretty self explanatory, but Im not too sure how the title fits. Maybe the speaker of the song is singing to Jennifer Lopez, who is basically an image of the screen - it heightens the sense of alienation you empathetically feel for the speaker.
One of my favourite Xiu Xiu songs.
I think the title is in there just to be funny/ironic.
I personally think it's the artists way of having this song titled "jennifer lopez" just because he saw her on television right after he wrote this song he could have spent nights alone to strip clubs in L.A. reminding him of these latina women performing here while he's alone on a friday night.
this is one of their best songs to me. the intro is amazing. what's that instrument? sounds like a saw to me...i think jamie goes out by himself and people watch him funny...and he doesnt like that pretty much...those people are like jennifer lopez which he doesn't really like i think...
that instrument is a cello. Read interviews, as many as you can. itll help you get the song/title
the cello at the begining reminds me of the dont be fooled by the rocks that i got song that jlo has. i dont know the title. im not ht ebiggest fan.
The lyrics reminds me of How Soon Is Now? by the smiths, the part "there's a club, if you'd like to go..you could meet somebody who really loves you. So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry and you want to die."
same kinda concept..
