"Around the World" -- Red Hot Chili Peppers
The line "Step aside, Mike Johnson" carries a new meaning now.

Re: Pop/Rock thread
I heard these songs one after the other on the radio a few weeks ago. Turns out there’s a decadelong conversation between Bruno Mars and Miley Cyrus:
When I Was Your Man (2013) - Bruno Mars
I shoulda bought you flowers and held your hand,
Shoulda gave you all my hours when I had the chance,
Take you to every party ‘cuz all you wanted to do was dance.
Flowers (2023) - Miley Cyrus
I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand,
Talk to myself for hours, say things you don’t understand.
I can take myself dancing, and I can hold my own hand.
When I Was Your Man (2013) - Bruno Mars
I shoulda bought you flowers and held your hand,
Shoulda gave you all my hours when I had the chance,

Re: Pop/Rock thread
I remember the first time I heard "Flowers" on the radio last year. I commented to the other person in the car, "The lyrics sure sound a lot like 'When I Was Your Man' by Bruno Mars", and he agreed that they did. Didn't quite realize at the time that it was intended as an answer song.Dormouse559 wrote: ↑04 Feb 2024 06:23 I heard these songs one after the other on the radio a few weeks ago.

Oh, well, I didn’t mean that Miley Cyrus intended her song as a response, but it can be interpreted that wayKhemehekis wrote: ↑05 Feb 2024 00:27I remember the first time I heard "Flowers" on the radio last year.

Re: Pop/Rock thread
I wasn't saying that you of all people said it was a response; it was just something I learned after hearing the song for the first time and looking it up on Wikipedia.Dormouse559 wrote: ↑05 Feb 2024 02:01 Oh, well, I didn’t mean that Miley Cyrus intended her song as a response, but it can be interpreted that way

Ah, I clearly didn’t read the Wikipedia page! That’s neat that it’s not a coincidenceKhemehekis wrote: ↑05 Feb 2024 02:07I wasn't saying that you of all people said it was a response; it was just something I learned after hearing the song for the first time and looking it up on Wikipedia.Dormouse559 wrote: ↑05 Feb 2024 02:01 Oh, well, I didn’t mean that Miley Cyrus intended her song as a response, but it can be interpreted that way
