Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to settle back into the regular groove of things. This week’s lyric is by an artist many may not have heard, which is a shame. Bleu McAuley is just as brilliant at composing a great hook in his music as he is at creating a clever line in his songs. This is one of my favorites.

Enjoy Boy Meets Girl by Bleu (from 2009’s A Watched Pot).

I’ve got a tune for the bride and groom and how they
got to here
It starts out with a boy and a girl who met in senior
year
She hung in with the outside crowd while he disappeared
But the square and the rebel fit together like the
treble and the bass in their ears

It’s like Twisted Sister meets Mr. Mister
It’s like a Rolling Thunder meets a Careless Whisper
It’s like Jesus Jones and The Rolling Stones in a game
of Twister
It’s like boy meets girl

He went to Boston and got a little lost in a frozen
stare (Hallelujah)
She looked at him with an L.A. grin and wondered if he
cared (Hallelujah)
He said someday when the Polaroids fade and we cut our
hair (Hallelujah)
We’ll look back and we’ll laugh ’cause the queen and
the jack made a perfect pair

It’s like Twisted Sister meets Mr. Mister
It’s like a Shout At The Devil (Shout!) meets a Careless Whisper
It’s like Motorhead and the Grateful Dead in a game of
Twister
It’s like boy meets girl
