Jamming The Tunes
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Excuse Me Miss - Jay Z
Sunday 7Jan07 2:46pm

I'm writing and stopping a little bit for a singing for my neighbours moment. I was killing Beyonce's irreplaceable strong. I half expected a neighbour to knock on the door and say, "Play another song!"
I flipped through a few other songs singing at the top of my lungs like I was a performer or something.
I'm now stuck on Excuse me miss. I love that tune. Between Pharrell with his smooth vocals, "so contagious, I can't take it, help my baby, let's just make it." Oh and the way he says Excuse me, DAMN!

I was never into Jay Z. I seemed to miss the boat on that one. Of course I don't listen to radio nor watch BET so it's any wonder I missed most of his stuff. But Much Music played this video strong and there was something about him that did it for me.

He's not good looking on a first take, for sure, but you watch him in that video all VIPed up in his expensive suit with his head down as he sneaks a peek over at Miss on the elevator and it's that calm and sexy knowledgeable look. He knows if he comes on too strong he comes across as another perverted player hitting on a good looking woman.
And his words, "you gotta throw on some fine linens for this one."
"play spades with the cards up -- all trust!"
"he's no item, please don't like him, he don't wife em, he one nights em."
Nothing like a man that thinks about what he wants to say and says it with flair.
By the end of that video I'm thinking, I'd go out with him. ha ha!

I love songs that makes me imagine. Lyrics that make me wish that I'd written them. And music that makes me groove.
