Okay, here's the deal. I was listening to "Up Against the Wall" and I was thinking to myself, you'd have to be *NSYNC to have that happen to you. I mean really now, have you ever been up against the wall with a person you've never even said a word to? (Have you ever even been up against the wall at all??) So I'm gonna type the words to the whole song, and in parenthasees (I don't know how to spell that, they're these () things) I'm gonna have my comments on how unrealistic the whole thing is. But you should know that I really love that song. Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorites. :-) Here goes:

You know we don't care at all
(Well that's real nice.)
Let, let me see you,
Up, up against the wall
(Okay, now comes all JC's grunting. Picture him on the potty.)

I was just doin' my thing
Hangin' out at the spot
You know the place we go
(No, I don't, but I really wish I did!)
The music's John blaze hot
(Sounds like something my dad would say)
And everybody was feelin' the DJ
(That's not meant to be taken literally. But it's funny to picture.)
The smoke cleared and I saw this beautiful lady

The lights went low
And the disco ball came down
(Okay, this is getting a bit unrealistic now.)
She walked up to me slow
(Why you? Why not somebody else?)
And you know what happens now
(No, I don't...) The girl was fine, and she knew she had game
(She got game.)
What more do I have to say?
(Okay, this next part is when it gets really unbelieveable:)
She took my hand
We never said a word at all
We started grinding
Shorty had me up against the wall
(She never said a word, so he doesn't know her name. He has to call her 'shorty'.)
Ask me about tomorrow,
You know that I don't care at all
(Okay now -- how can I ask you about 'tomorrow' if it hasn't come yet? It should be 'the next day' or something.)
I just got caught up
When she had me up against the wall

You know we don't care at all,
Just get caught up when you're
Up against the wall.
We don't, we don't care at all
(Once again, how thoughtful!)
You know we don't care at all
Let, let me see you
Up, up against the wall
(It's like a cop or something. "I wanna see you up agains the wall NOW!")

It's almost two o'clock
It's time to make my move
The after-hours spot
Is where I'm goin' to
(And you're just gonna leave 'shorty #1' at the first place? How rude.)
'Cause I've gotta have some more,
I'm lookin for
Somebody to hit the dance floor
And lucky for me, I see
A fine young lady's eyein' me
(Lucky for you is right! Don't we all wish we had that kind of luck?)
The lights all low
(that's improper grammar.)
And her friends were all around
(Going to make them jealous now, are you?)
I walked up to her slow
And you know what happens now
She turned around, and she worked in the worst way
(What is she a witch or something? "Justin, abra-cadabra, you can no longer speak!")
WHAT more do I have to say?
(Well I guess you can't say anything now, can you?>
She took my hand,
We never said a word at all
(I guess they're the quiet types.)
We started grinding,
(Once again, a lovely visual. thanks.)
Shorty had me up against the wall
(This is a different shorty. This is no-name #2.)
Ask me about tomorrow
(*NSYNC knows about tomorrow. They're kinda like Miss Cleo.)
You know that I don't care at all
(That's why they're not in the Tarot-reading business.)
I just got caught up
When she had me up against the wall.

Shorty had me up against the wall
(I don't know about you but I would hate being called shorty. If you ask me, it doesn't mean you're a girl. It means you're short.)
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Who's the cutest one you saw?
(That would be Justin.)
She's underneath the disco ball,
The disco ball, the disco ball
(Okay okay we get the idea! The disco ball! But seriously, that part is cool.)
Standing next to strobe lights
(Now she's not only deaf but also blind.)
Dancing hot, looking tight
The freak show do come out at night,
Out at night, night, night
(Do they say 'the freak show' or 'the freak sure' in a ghetto accent? I don't know. At any rate, it sounds really scary.
What more do I have to say?

(Repeat chorus a few times...)

I just got caught up
When you had me up against the wall
(Well at least 'you' is better than 'shorty'.)

We don't, we don't care at all
You know we don't care at all
(Yes we know. You're truly thoughtless people. whatever.)
Just get caught up
When you're up against the wall
We don't, we don't care at all
You know we don't care at all,
Let, let me see you,
Up, up against the wall

And then you repeat that last part, and the song is over. See what I mean? Now really, two girls like this in one night? Only if you were *NSYNC. Hey, it could be a new Joey Pick-Up Line. "Hey baby - let me see you up against the wall!" Anyhow... if I sound bitter today it's 'cause I have a cold. So sorry. I'm not meaning to be mean about *NSYNC. But I don't feel good and I'm doing this for you people so you can have your new pages! So be thankful... even if it is kind of dumb.

This is insane, take me back
