Dubstar's Not So Manic Now - more of a mugging than domestic violence perhaps

Isn't that more of a bullying-in-the-workplace scenario?

Oh yeah, "change my pitch up" = marketing pitch, duh.

ledge, Thursday, 16 July 2009 11:20 (fifteen years ago)

I was thinking there was some sort of pimp/employee reference in the source. I'm probably RONG though.

"He Hit Me And It Felt Like A Kiss"? I've never actually heard it but is it a dancer?

Oh lord, re. smog: I was thinking of 'Be Hit' and not 'A Hit'

You can't dance to that one either. You could try dancing to Dixie Chicks' Goodbye Earl or Dwight Yoakam's What I Don't Know.

I wouldn't recommend dancing to RZA as Bobby Digital "Domestic Violence," but I guess you could if you really tried.

I wanta pack and leave and slap your face
Bad girls like you are a disgrace

I remember when I used to play shoot em up
I remember when I chased the girls and beat em up

Note to thread starters: don't bother putting qualifiers in your original questions cos the list will be exactly the same as if you didn't.
