Have you ever listened to the second verse of Rihanna’s SOS and wondered what the hell she is singing about because it doesn’t make sense?
Well, Evan “Kidd” Bogart, who wrote the song, told Behind The Wall what was going through his head at the time, and it was other earworms.
He explained to Daniel Wall, “The whole second verse of that song is ’80s song titles strung together as sentences because I thought it would be super clever.”
What songs go with the lyrics? There is aha’s Take on Me, Cutting Crew’s Died In Your Arms, Modern English’s I Met With You, Tears For Fears’ Head Over Heels, Kim Wilde’s You Keep Me Hangin’ On, and finally, Michael Jackson’s The Way You Make Me Feel.
And with that, I will never listen to Rescue Me the same way. That was the original title the catchy tune full of other songs.
