something that’s been bugging me for a while but only recently has been in full fervor is outkast – ms jackson. i like the song (to death), but there’s something that andre is saying after a lyric under the chorus that i can’t quite make out.. it’s kinda quiet but loud enough to let me know it exists each time i hear it. it’s after andre’s line “and yes i will be present on the first day of school, and graduation” .. (somethin somethin somethin). audio clip of said lyric here. surely i’m not the only one who’s heard this, however if you haven’t – now you have, and i hope it bugs you too. or maybe you can be all encyclopedia brown (or nancy drew!) and solve this mystery.
also, i’ve run the encyclopedia brown reference to a good amount of people, and of those good amount, a good amount of them don’t get it. did no one read those as a kid? i was all about that shit. i would never even try to figure out the mystery, i just went straight to the back pages and read how he did it. clever bastard.
I never tried to figure it out either. It was like, read, flip, “Oh I get it,” … read, flip, “Oh, I get it,” rinse & repeat.
maybe he’s saying ‘put it in the car’ cos he thinks he nailed his verse and he wants to go hear it bump in the rover…?
“…and the first day of the (something something)”
I can’t make out the last part because the chorus overpowers it. Sounds like “the first day of the dawwwwwwwwwwwwn” or something, but I highly doubt that.
