Their brilliant song “My Best Friend’s Girlfriend” immerses us into a world of envy, abandonment, regret, and betrayal as can be seen in:
“(Here she comes again)
When she’s dancing ‘neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips
“Well she’s my best friend‘s girl
She’s my best friend’s girl
But she used to be mine”
But didn’t you hear dressed instead of friend’s?
“(Here she comes again)
When she’s dancing ‘neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips
“Well she’s my best dressed‘s girl
She’s my best dressed girl
But she used to be mine”
She doesn’t leave the protagonist because his best friend is more attractive and smarter than he. Instead, she severs the relationship because the singer is distressingly shallow. He desires her only for her impeccable taste in clothes. He cannot accept the breakup. He places himself where he see her coming toward him. He does this many times. He’s become a stalker. This kinda changes the meaning of the song. And now, the incorrect lyrics.
