Yep, and I choose to believe heโs singing โa girl just get married to a fellow oneโ.
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 24 August 2019 17:50 (six years ago)
I'm 99% sure that is what he's saying
― rob, Saturday, 24 August 2019 18:00 (six years ago)
well, I guess it could be โmarried to a fellow, and / honeymoon...โ, but I prefer to mentally block that option.

"Bad Gyal"
― rob, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 20:12 (five years ago)
โBring Rumโ wins this one hands-down for me. โBad Gyalโ (thereโs a remix by Amsterdam-based German producer Jonasu, who Iโve never heard of, as well) is fun, but tries just a little bit too hard to be all summery, while โBring Rumโ works both as a lockdown chillout-in-the-park song and as a low-key post-vacc celebration anthem. (it also has a Balloon-like did he go there oh I guess maybe not double take moment: grab a woman every man grab a woman every woman grab a man)
― Blick, Bils & Blinky โข Let's Skip The Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 21:21 (five years ago)
very strong vote for 'bring rum' here too, basically for the same reasons breastcrawl says, with added horny police
― imago, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 21:43 (five years ago)
and also it goes on too long. 'bring rum' like 'balloon' is the perfect length
― imago, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 21:44 (five years ago)
Not sure why you need to call the horny police on someone whoโs just trying to break into dance management
― rob, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 22:04 (five years ago)
Bad Gyal is fine but Bring Rum is kinda compulsive right now
