Heh

McSweeney's is still capable of making me laugh every once in a while.

Specifically, with this list of Discarded lines from Robert Palmer's 1988 Hit, "Simply Irresistible."

I'm now going to sing these every time the song comes on my iPod.

Of course, now I want to see the rejected lines for the second half of each verse, with things like "Thor's a god of the Norse," "Luke, you should use the Force," and "ow! That's a charley horse!"

"Send the code that is Morse," "Our story needs one more source," "I'ma yell 'til I'm hoarse..."

And now I've been earwormed with the mispronunciation of "chipotle" in Palmer's voice.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YENDI!

I like to think Palmer would've been amused by this list. (I miss him.)

Me, too. Sigh.
