Gimme an F: “F!”
That’s right an R and then two E’s.
I need a Verse: “Verse!”
Just soul clap and sing with me:
“We want it Fri, day! ‘Cuz Friday the Verse is Free!”
Welcome back, ya’ll, to the Change I Wish to See.

It’s gorgeous out, at least in DC. So let’s just get to the goods, shall we?
Today’s FVF is just a story about a breakup (see picture above). There’s a guy, and there’s a girl. Below the story, there are three videos completely unrelated to this post because I wanted to laugh. The first? I can’t be sure, but I think it’s the part of Coming to America that featured Adam Lambert from Idol on vocals. The second is a pretty good example of how I’m going to leave the bar tonight. And the third, well, just see for yourself.
Happy Friday. Thanks for stopping by.

science fiction –
she cries
from behind a smile to comfort me
as she says, “you know we’ve got no chemistry
it’s just science fiction
it’s just science fiction”
her hand
is warm but won’t stop shaking
and she stares
at the cup, the floor, just anything
to keep from falling in again,
a place there’s no escaping;
or so she promises
but here we are
as she starts vanishing
and this time
the only surprise waiting
is for her
she won’t find me begging
i’ve seen this play before
she treats us like we’re staging
and she honestly
don’t know i know she’s faking
so she smiles
like a smile right now could comfort me
as she says, “you know we’ve got no chemistry
it’s just science fiction
it’s just science fiction”
…
How did you know Color Me Badd was EXACTLY the way I wanted to wake up this morning?
Because.
“you know we’ve got no chemistry
it’s just science fiction”
I love it.
Wow. I had forgotten all about Eriq LaSalle in Coming to America. And Sexual Chocolate. Thank you.
I need to practice my mic drop for exiting venues. It’s just the perfect way to say goodbye.
I thought ‘the breakup’ was really tragic. I guess in real life, many break ups are…but you expect Hollywood to soften the blow.
“So much for my happy ending.”
Oh god. I just quoted Avril Lavigne.
Oh god. I just admitted that when no one else would’ve known.
*fleeing*
Did you actually put the Soul Glow video up? Hellz yes. And Sexual Chocolate.
Sexual Chocolate! *stomps foot*
Yes, it is brilliant outside!
… Isn’t it strange that breakups ALWAYS end up inspiring music?
They do! Who has time to write songs while in love?
That makes me tear up. Shame on you for being such a good writer.
I’m really just hugely glad it connected. Thanks.
Love this: “and she honestly don’t know i know she’s faking”
Also, ditto Lilu. I’m adding that to my “dancing in my desk chair” play list.
Oh, we’re gonna add to that playlist. I stumbled across a bunch of stuff last night that I’ve got queued.
The lyrics to that song make me wonder if any of the members of Color Me Badd had actually had sex. But that performance was hilarious. I might have watched it twice on the bus this morning. Maybe.
Makin’ love until we drown…. yeah.
You’re my favorite person today (unless someone brings booze to my office later)
Really? How did I get that honor? What if I also hopped a flight and brought booze?
Dude! Thank you so so so much for those Coming to America clips! That shit is CLASSIC! From this day forward my goal in life is to be as sexy as Randy Watson!
That’s my goal, too. Seriously. I’d be dripping awesome, or activator, whichever.
The science fiction theme is definitely cool. Unrelated, but sort of related, they can now clone humans: http://tinyurl.com/dxvx25
I wonder why he’d have no proof of having cloned three kids? I get the potential legal reasons. But I imagine there’s gotta be stacks of proof somewhere, if he actually did.
And maybe relatedly? If I was cloned, that clone would be a basement clone. No light of day unless I said so. My clone, my rules.
This FV is now on my Top 3 Favorites list…because it is just perfect. (Reverse genders of course)
Your FVF “Gimmie an ‘F’” intro was actually stuck in my head all afternoon. Well done, sir.
