Cover art for Metarie lyrics by Brendan Benson

i love how smean and spiteful this song is. the opening few lines make it sound like your run of the mill love son :

Met a girl, introduced myself I asked her to go with me and no one else And she said, "I’d really like to see you everyday But I’m afraid of what my friends might say

and then the song just takes a really mean turn and poor old brendan basically gets berated and insulted by her and her friend.

girls can be mean sometimes
