Linda’s #SoCS prompt this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “start with who/whom” Begin your post with either “who” or “whom” and go from there. Have fun!
Who's that, What's that? I don't know what I'm doing So I Text her, WhatsApp, Telling her to come through And then I Copped a Big Mac Milk Shake and some large fries It cost £4.50 Take the gherkin out of the inside... Nico B
So, these are the beginning lyrics to a song that came to mind as soon as I read the prompt.
I remember the first time I heard this, on the radio last summer, as we travelled to one of Lil Man’s first Men’s Fifth Team matches.
The day was hot, so hot. A men’s match isn’t a couple of hours, rather a whole afternoon, bleeding into the evening.
This song came on, and the lyrics caught my attention as he was talking about a Macdonalds, and gettign a Big Mac without the gherkin…
I marvelled at the lyrical prowess of the newer artists. Actually, I laughed.
The song made no sense to me.
Why on earth was he singing about Maccy D’s?
It wasn’t until a few months later, when the song appeared on a compilation CD that I bought for Lil Princess, that I had a chance to listen to it, properly.
It seems to follow the story of a girl he got with, who ended up a bit of a psycho, and then he plants drugs on her so she gets caught by the police…
Still doesn’t explain the Big Mac sans gherkin, though…

I also never heard this before, Sis! But the newer songs mostly all about sadness in real life. I think i have forgotten: Happy Easter, Sis! Enjoy your holidays! Michael

Sometimes music is so far out of left field I just have to nod my head to the beat and appreciate it for what it is. 😆

I often don’t understand the lyrics of songs, Ritu. Are you on school holidays now?
