SPOILER: LYRICS (DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW)

well here we are, four of us in total shock,
me and her
i close my mouth, swallow spit
cuz i'm thinking to myself, this is some deep shit
then i said, "so you're gonna tell me he's the one you've been talking to?"
he says yes, i says no, he says yes, i says no,
he says, "it's the truth"
i yell, "all a y'all ass-crazy, let me up out this door,
because this is way more than i bargained for."
and then she says "wait, i'm sure we can all fix this."
and then i said, "i'm late, plus i don't got a damn thing to do with this."
and then she said, "but wouldn't you like to know how it all began?"
then i thought to myself and said, "quick, you got three minutes."
and then it got real quiet, i said, "somebody start talkin'"
then she said, "my god, rufus, i've got just one question:
how could you do something like this? i'm so hurt."
then he looked at her and said "it's ... please, you've got nerves.
with all your club-hoppin', lyin', sayin' you was shopping,
and now here you are in our home, and you callin' me wrong."
she said, "ok, you busted me, and that much i agree, you've caught me cheating, but this is a little extreme!"
he said, "you are my wife, sleeping behind my back, and now i come home and you've got him in the closet, how extreme is that?"
she says, "but she's a he!"
then he said, "please you can't judge me."
she says, "rufus, this is crazy."
and i said, "stop arguing! i did not stay here to hear y'all chew each other out! so get to the point, or i swear i'm out!"
"excuse me, please, but i think i can explain what's going on in here. my name is chuck, and i've been knowin' rufus 'bout a year. creepin' around with him has been a livin' hell. sneakin' in and out of hotels..."
i said, "brother, spare me the detail"
and then rufus said, "chuck please, don't say nothin' else"
and then she screams, "rufus you son of a bitch!"
and he says "kathy go to hell"
i said "i thought your name was mary, that's what you said at the party. man, this is gettin' scary, i'm gonna shoot somebody."
then rufus start yellin' and screamin', sayin' "kathy this is all your fault!"
she throws a pillow at him and says "you was creepin' too, the only difference is you didn't get caught"
chuck scream out "we're in love"
kathy says "love my ass!"
rufus said [they're gettin' married] [?]
then i shoot one in the air
then i say "not another one of you sons of bitches say a word, cuz all of this shit i'm gonna do is unheard."
grab my [sailor] [?], sayin' "this is so wrong"
call up my home and a man picks up the phone.

lol. surely they all end up steppin' to the Lord or somethin' (till 6 in the mo'ning).
thinkin about it, in part 1 he says it's seven in the morning. as he always seems to party til 6, how could he drive to the lady's place, have some sex in the kitchen and wake up at 7 ??

AleXTC (AleXTC), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i like that he's still ostensibly in the closet the whole time.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

that word in the second to last line would be "cellular", jaymc

and i have this to gmail to anyone upon request

lemin (lemin), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

ah, you're right, lemin, thanks.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

from transcribing that whole thing, i noticed that r. kelly switches tenses quite a bit.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

if i could sing like this man i'd never remember to eat or sleep

jones (actual), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Lemin, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Roz (Roz), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:00 (twenty-one years ago)

i heard one of these on the radio and it was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard. am I missing some kind of context?

kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

oh I see I must have heard part two or something because I was like, "uh, you're in a closet. so the fuck what?"

Okay, I really REALLY need this now! HELP! OBI WAN!

SINGLES OF THE YEAR

strng hlkngtn, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

kathy says "love my ass!"
So is the man at Kells house HIS man?
Part four! The reckoning!

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

'Cause think about it, maybe he doesn't pick up his cellular at all... maybe he DOES pick up his sailor?!?!

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

i think that's what jaymc WANTED to hear. he wanted gay sailor.

cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Part 5: "It was all a wild dream!"

donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Important question: Why is everybody trying to keep Kells in this goddamn picture?
Here's a guy with a gun in your closet trying to leave and everybody's doing their damnedest to keep him hangin' around. For god's sake, Chuck just wandered in and HE'S trying to talk to R.

"Oh hey, secret gay lover... what? You need me to come over to your house? Right now? But isn't your wife there? Um. Okay. Hello? Oh, hi everybody. Hello guy with a gun. Allow me to explain..."

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

brother, spare me the detail

j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i think they are just in awe that r. kelly is in the closet and they just want to hang out with him for a little more...

cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I like to pretend that it's Rufus Wainwright, Chuck D and Cathy Dennis.

Also, I really hope this leads to a series of other serial songs in which we find Kells stuck in new and increasingly claustrophobic sticky situations.

Stay tuned for the June 2008 release of R. Kelly's "Caught in the Crapper", the August 2010 "The Breadbox Boondoggle" and the smash summer hit of 2015: "Get Me Out of This Ziploc, Bitch"

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 22:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Forksclovetofu OTM. (The important question, not the Ziploc thing.)

Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 00:01 (twenty-one years ago)

cutty otm.

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 00:15 (twenty-one years ago)

here's a more permanent download link than the one that was already posted: http://rapidshare.de/files/1955867/r._kelly-trapped_in_the_closet-chapter3-_dirty_.mp3.html

Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a weird feeling that

1. someone - probably R. - is going to end up dead at the end of this
2. this is all going to turn into a party-ruining object lesson about infidelity


i hope i am wrong.

PeopleFunnyBoy (PeopleFunnyBoy), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I like how he makes up for the understandable storyline stasis of "part 3 of 5" with some extreeeeme vocal flights.

miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

and while he made his voice a little airier as "Chuck" I was wondering if he'd go into a full-on lisp or something.

miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

chuck seems really nice

jones (actual), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

hey! this is gonna be on DVD, right? GUESS THE CAST!

Cathy!

Chuck!

miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I was actually thinking about how well he transitioned into Chuck's voice -- we understand he's changing character without him having to say "and then Chuck said" as he does with most of the other lines.

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

alternate possibility: Garielle Union as Cathy, Alfonso Ribieri as Rufus, Jaleel White as Chuck.

miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

It will "all be a dream" at the end. I'm almost betting on it. (then again, I'm heading to Vegas this weekend, so betting has been on my mind lately.)

donut debonair (donut), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

In a similar way, when he does Kathy on "okay, you busted me, you caught me cheating, but this is a little extreme," he sings in an upper register, almost falsetto, that suggests a female voice but only because the notes are themselves high, i.e., not gratuitously at all.

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, I just can't decide of such taste is wasted on a project like this or not. Either way it rules, obv.

Cathy = Elisabeth Berkeley
Rufus = Mario Lopez
Chuck = Dustin Diamond
R. Kelly's Wife = Lark Voorheis
Man who answers the phone = Mark-Paul Gosselar

miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Why am I the only one who's assuming Kathy's name starts with a K!

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

brother, spare me the detail

miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

When it comes to Broadway, the part of Chuck will be sung by Luther Vandross.

Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

The cast should be: Cathy = Vivica Fox/Sanaa Lathan, Rufus = Terrance Howard, Chuck = Taye Diggs, Kell's Wife = Gabrielle Union, The Man at the Other End of The Line: Morris Chestnut, just so it can be every black romcom of the past few years in video form.

I think this thread got me way interested in that song than I would've been otherwise because it's awfully monotone-like until they get to the big crescendo at the end where the music is screaming "HELLO, pay attention!"

Candicissima (candicissima), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

What the fuck, nothing happens in Part 3 except you learn their names!

High Ranking Militants, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

well we also discover there's a man at R.'s house with his wife, but its an awkward and abrupt revelation.

miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Terrance Howard would be perfect!

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Who answers the phone of the man they are cuckolding?

High Ranking Militants, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

The Chicago radio stations have not gone into All-R rotation yet...

High Ranking Militants, Wednesday, 25 May 2005 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

patience

j blount (papa la bas), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Other important question: why is Kels getting so worked up about this, i.e. to the point of shooting in the air? I don't get the sense that he's being threatened or anything.

ANyway, more trivially, once this is all finished, I wonder how well these 5 tracks are gonna sit back-to-back on an album...
