Take it up or leave it I'm not going to change a bit If it means heartache Then leave it out for your sake I tried and try tried To take care of my insides Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object Chorus I want those who get to know me To become admirers or my enemies When you're a pirouetting highkicking Thighslapping cruiser When you're a hipgrinding spellbinding Cleancut seducer You have to be careful so people take note I take it serious, but I still like a joke Chorus Keep your philosophy It doesn't apply to me If it means heartache Then leave it out for your sake I tried and I try tried But still you say that I lied Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object Chorus I think it was the rhythm of this particular song that first hooked me, it said, "Make a video out of me" and I took it to my partner who couldn't help agreeing. Combine that with the chorus, and you've got an irresistible little song. I mean honestly, doesn't "I want those who get to know me to become admirers or my enemies." pretty much sum up Joxer? He's the kind of character that people either love or hate, there's very little room for in betweens with him. I must admit, though, that the middle section of the song really did make itself. We reserved the "When you're a..." bit for scenes from "For Him the Bell Tolls", if you remember the episode at all I can tell you that during the verse "When you're a hipgrinding spellbinding clean cut seducer..." we used the cave sequence where he slow-mo shakes off the water Gabrielle threw on him. It was another case of both of us turning to one another and saying, "I know the perfect scene...!" |
