Well, I've told you about the time with 'You're So Vain' right? Only thing that's come close to being as bad as that was Denver, and Denver was more a controlled chaos.

[noreasonneeded]

Fair. And you did, yes. That's one song I've wondered about the origins of, given how pointed it could be. It would be funny though if it wasn't about anyone in particular and they just knew people would be able to use it as such.

[acaseofyou]

Right? Though I figure the fallout if we do find out who it was would be about as devastating to whoever he is as when people figured out that Alanis song was about the guy from the kid show.

[noreasonneeded]

I entirely blame cultural osmosis for why I know exactly what you're talking about, including the guy from the kids show I never even saw.

[acaseofyou]

I never saw it, either! Outside like, a clip someone showed me once where he had a weird puppet. So now every time I hear that song I'm imagining a dude with a weird puppet having sex at the movies. Really unfortunate.

[noreasonneeded]

What's the saying, the heart wants what the heart wants, no matter how stupid it is?

[acaseofyou]

Something like that, yeah. The heart, sometimes, is just really into weird puppets.

[noreasonneeded]

I suppose there are worse things for a heart to fixate on, if one insists on keeping theirs active.

[acaseofyou]

For as active as my dead heart gets, don't think I've ever gone for someone with a weird puppet. So at least there's that.

[noreasonneeded]

Is it the existence of a puppet, or that particular puppet that's turned you off?

[acaseofyou]

That particular puppet. Most of the Muppets, for example, I would be fine with.

I liked how Miss Piggy always knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to say it.

[acaseofyou]

Right? Apparently at one point she had a tryst with John Denver.

[noreasonneeded]

You know what, good for her. Hope he brought the guitar to bed.

[acaseofyou]

I can already see him there with her, singing 'Annie's Song' as if he hadn't written it for his actual human wife.

[noreasonneeded]

"Piggy's Song" has the same number of syllables and ending sound, it could work.

[acaseofyou]

You're a genius. Maybe I'll add it to my setlist.

[noreasonneeded]

It kinda sounds like you wish you'd been the folk singer to end up in bed with Miss Piggy. Maybe a tribute will win her over now.

[acaseofyou]

If she would have me, it would be an honor.

[noreasonneeded]

If she ever starts touring the stages of Ketterdam, I'll make sure to introduce you two.

[acaseofyou]

I'll make sure Miss Piggy appreciates the gesture appropriately.

[noreasonneeded]

Oh good. Forget the Council, I wouldn't want to get on her bad side.

[acaseofyou]

She does have a mean right hook.

[noreasonneeded]

And she'd do anything to win in a fight. That's my favorite style.

[acaseofyou]

I've got a sneaking suspicion you're gonna recruit Miss Piggy.
