I actually yelped at her ‘You dumped me!’ and she replied, rolling her eyes, ‘dumped’. (sigh) That word is so 80’s. It was late August, humid and awful in New York, my apartment in Fort Greene was practically a steam-bath. \n\nThe guitar part comes from an attempt to emulate the way the guitar slithers around the accents in Snoop Dogg’s ‘Nothin’ But A G Thang’, whereas the melody is more or less failed attempts at variants of the line ‘…and I slowly came to see all of the things that you are made of…’ in the Mary J. Blige song ‘Real Love’.”\n\nhttps://genius.com/Soul-coughing-soft-serve-lyrics", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
