i know, shit

i'm ok now

I used to play drums, and in my callow youth I thought there was nothing to playing ballads on the drums. "If You Don't Know Me By Now" set me straight.

And if you're ever talking to someone who isn't clear on the concept of "behind the beat," the drums on that song are the best example.

I love Monica, and not just because she bought wine that got me drunk.

The best way to celebrate Monica would be to pledge some money on her show which is on in ten mintues.

I am SO there, even if y'all are on opposite the German semifinals for the Eurovision Song Contest.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Stevem beat me to it -- American fans of BBC's "The Office" who have yet to see the two UK X-mas specials that aired over the holidays have yet to truly hear "If You Don't Know Me By Now."
I can honestly say I was crying the last time I heard that song as well, but it wasn't the same kind of crying...

― Ben Boyer (Ben Boyer), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

do not watch if you hate rosemary

(oooo, Eurovision)

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 19 March 2004 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope to God no one here is thinking of the Simply Red version.

Harold Melvin all the way baby.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

i can't watch it because i don't have a fancy pc or even a reasonably nice one

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 19 March 2004 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry to disappoint jeremy

did s.r. do a version of this song? i don't know a single song by them. i was talking about the blue notes version obv.

"ten long years! ten long years we've been together!"

ten years is a long time. how old was teddy when he sang that line? 25?
