One day nursery
So remember that Ace of Base song, “All That She Wants“? The chorus goes:
She’s gone tomorrow boy
Okay, this song came out in 1993. Why is it that it’s not until 12 years later that I understand that the song is about a booty call instead some weird woman’s quick desire for a child?
*blush* I am so dumb.

Lissa – I can honestly say – that I didn’t know that it was about a booty call either when it was out – and I was much older than you!! Oh well… 🙂

Hey, don’t feel bad, there are tons of songs where I thought it was about one thing and then it turned out to be something completely different. I think it happens when you first hear a song and make a judgment about its message and if that judgement isn’t challenged, it sticks indefinitely.

i lo-ove ace of base. i still have their tape. yes, tape. although i do think i knew what it meant. if i didn’t, i don’t remember when i realized it wasn’t about yearnings for motherhood.
ps: did i mention i LOVE ace of base?
Jenny
oh yesss. i just remembered that right around that time i was also in love with this song by real mccoy that i heard at the skating rink all the time: Another Night
In the night in my dreams I’m in love with you
Cuz you talk to me like lovers do
I feel joy I feel pain ’cause it’s still the same
When the night is gone I’ll be alone
oh boy. thanks for that lissa.

Oh, wow–I loved the song “Another Night”. Holy hell, you brought back memories.
Ace of Base I loved at the time, but I can do without them now.
