provisional post 4: same girl

one song that has kept us going throughout the drive, and certainly deserves its own post, is the r. kelly/usher song "same girl." the lyrical genius on display here is enormous. the ballad tells an awesome story, and it has a great hook. we have played this song, no lie, at least once every day we've been on the road. other songs, such as usher's new (and sure to be number one single upon its release) "what's a man to do," and some linkin park songs have been played pretty heavily as well, but none has the meaning for us that we ascribe to "same girl."

i was going to post the lyrics, but that would take a little longer than i have this morning. so, without further ado, here's the video. let it be said that i think the video is a little far fetched, while the song portrays a more likely scenario. you'll see what i mean after you watch it.

watched it? my issues with the video vs. the song basically can be summed up by saying that there's no effing way that two twins both went to georgia tech, live together on peachtree, work for tbs, share a car, have a kid, have a beauty mark on the left side of their mouths, and would lie about having a phone turned off. it's just too much. if it was actually the same girl, all these would be plausible. twins? come on now. that being said, my issues with the video don't change the fact that the song itself is amazing.
