I thought they just shouted I'M A SURVIVAH a lot.

― Throwing Muses are reuniting for my next orgasm! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 14:31 (fifteen years ago)

Oh yeah, I took out the repetitive chorus lines. Sorry 'bout that.

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 14:32 (fifteen years ago)

write-in vote for "I'M BETTER THAN THAT"

― don't you steal my Sunstein (HI DERE), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 14:32 (fifteen years ago)

You're better than that.

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 14:33 (fifteen years ago)

god this song blows goats

― Spiney G. Porcupinegarden (some dude), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 14:35 (fifteen years ago)

voted for "You thought I wouldn't sell without you / Sold 9 million" because uh B you're boasting about the sales of The Writing's On The Wall as a burn on the girls that sang on The Writing's On The Wall and have a ton of songwriting credits on it?

― Spiney G. Porcupinegarden (some dude), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 14:39 (fifteen years ago)

You thought I wouldn't sell without you / Sold 9 million

^^what i love about this line is that apparently whenever beyoncé performs it live, she updates the sales figures - i saw her sing "sold 16 million" about a year after it came out, have heard reports that she's sung "sold 29 million in concert". always at her best when dealing with the cold, hard economics of a situation.

otherwise dan otm re: "I'M BETTER THAN THAT". or probably the christianity/internet line that always gets quoted.

"thought I couldn't breathe without you / i'm inhaling" = roundabout dope via bill clinton reference surely.

But primarily I like the way Kelly rhymes "family-o" with "radio".

Seriously, J0rdan??

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 15:37 (fifteen years ago)

I expect better from you.

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 15:37 (fifteen years ago)

Definitely my least favorite Destiny's Child single.

― Throwing Muses are reuniting for my next orgasm! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 15:39 (fifteen years ago)

Really? Even "Cater 2 U"?

― don't you steal my Sunstein (HI DERE), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 15:39 (fifteen years ago)

wau awesome

― don't you steal my Sunstein (HI DERE), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 15:49 (fifteen years ago)

didn't someone (tape store?) vote for "girl" - "GIRL"!!! - as the best DC single in that poll?

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 16:10 (fifteen years ago)

haha I was going to go there too but remembered that "Girl" had at least one ardent defender and couldn't remember if it was Alfred

― don't you steal my Sunstein (HI DERE), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 16:13 (fifteen years ago)

Not me, said the Lord.

― Throwing Muses are reuniting for my next orgasm! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 16:32 (fifteen years ago)

come on now fellas, everyone has a bit of love for 'girl' somewhere in their cold hearts.

― r|t|c, Tuesday, 20 April 2010 18:40 (fifteen years ago)

I think my bit of love withered up and died the first time I heard the chorus

― This microchip was put in my vaginal-rectum area (HI DERE), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 18:41 (fifteen years ago)

i don't know if i know "Girl"!

i always loved "IM NOT GONNA DISS YOU ON THE INTERNETTTTTTT"

― dome ass (Nijoli), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 18:47 (fifteen years ago)

i like to think of beyonce dissing someone on an internet forum.

― dome ass (Nijoli), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 18:47 (fifteen years ago)

c'mon there was a reason kelly got that line

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 18:49 (fifteen years ago)

that was really very weird

― la senora (surm), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 18:50 (fifteen years ago)

I agree that Beyonce wouldn't lower herself, but I can imagine her giving Kelly a daily running sheet, like:

1. Learn your three lines.
2. Try to be quiet and stay out of important people's way.
3. Diss former DC members on the internet.
4. Pick up my drycleaning.

And Kelly drawing the line, "No Beyonce, 3 is going too far."

― Tim F, Tuesday, 20 April 2010 21:41 (fifteen years ago)

Tape Store was the one that voted for "Girl" in the poll but I was the one crazy enough to say it might be my favorite post-Writing single (it's not, but definitely 2nd favorite after "Bootylicious")

― Spiney G. Porcupinegarden (some dude), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 21:47 (fifteen years ago)

totally the "diss you on the internet" line.

"I ain't gonna diss you on the internet, just a top 40 single that everyone in the world will hear...MY MOMMA TAUGHT ME WHEN YOU GON HIT SOMEONE HARD HIT EM HARD AS YOU CAIN'!!!!!"

― Phoenix in Flight (Cattle Grind), Tuesday, 20 April 2010 22:39 (fifteen years ago)

currently have this song stuck in my head as "I'm a surmounter"

― Spiney G. Porcupinegarden (some dude), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 15:24 (fifteen years ago)

oh god lol

― la senora (surm), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 15:25 (fifteen years ago)
