I never understood what exact message she was trying to get across. It's almost like she was pulling a J-Lo "Jenny from the block" on us, but dropped out at the last second. And I'm convinced that she DID say moustache in the song, but her producers said that would send the wrong sort've message to the world and that mustang would be more appropriate.You can call me, Hammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441759772338889695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-24150440933708631792007-10-14T20:14:00.000-07:002007-10-14T20:14:00.000-07:00"...llama ( ah-ma ah-ma)..."That just made me spit..."...llama ( ah-ma ah-ma)..."<BR/><BR/>That just made me spit beer onto my computer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-60691768812069646512007-10-14T19:01:00.000-07:002007-10-14T19:01:00.000-07:00oh, I guess it's not the Duchess of York then.
