ladyspriteFinally catching up on last night's "country music" episode of The Sing-Off, and I am having a.... debate with my husband. So, a poll for my distinguished readers:
[Poll #1793545]
(This poll brought to you by Ben Folds' apparent belief that it was a good thing that the group performing the song was connecting and conveying the song's "message" to the audience. And, to make sure I get my gratitude in here for the day, I am grateful for Ben Folds. Everything about him. Even if he believes in the upliftingness of drunken booty calls.)

I don't think this is a song about lust or booty calls at all, but about emotional love and longing, and was written by someone who gets introspective when they drink.
