Story Behind The Song

(Molly Davey and Matt Gibson, vocals; Josh Rosenblum, piano).?The light dramatic tone of this song was inspired by a cute charm song called 'Rhode Island is Famous for You', written in 1948 by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz.  I have fun with language in all of my songs but this one has an overtly 'fun-with-language' section, which I hope you'll enjoy.

Lyrics

She: He's got the megastore...
He: She's got the tiny shop...
Both: ...around the corner.
She: You with your silly slogans.
He: You with your twinkly lights.
He: You're a bore.
She: You're a twit.
Both: You're not even one little bit nice.
She: I've found someone to chat with
Both: So I don't have to talk to you!

She: I met a guy who's considerate
And not at all like you.
He: I met a girl who's generous
And not at all like you.
She: I met a guy who's suave
And not one bit like you.
He: She's generous and kind and sensitive
And doesn't resemble you.

She: I met a guy who's romantic
And not at all like you.
He: I met a girl who's enchanting
And not at all like you.
She's helpful, friendly, caring, and calm, not spiteful
Or frightful!

Both: In a chat room you get to meet people
You don't meet every day.
I see you every day, Oivey!
You're so not like the girl (the guy) I met
In a chat room today.

She: I met a guy who's insightful
And not at all like you.
He: I met a girl who's delightful
And not at all like you.
She: I met a guy who's gentle
And not one bit like you.
He: I met a girl who's subtle.
Your not subtle.
She: Whadaya mean I'm not subtle?!

He: She's courteous...
She: He's elegant...
Both: ...and glamorous!

He: I met a girl who's tried and true
And not at all like you.
She: She could be on her sixth husband!
I met a guy who's perspicacious.
He: Huh?
She: And intelligent.
Both: In a chat room you make new friends and
Plan to meet real soon.
I'm gonna meet [him, her] soon!

She: He's philosophical and always ecological.
He: She's assuring which is reassuring.
She: He's discriminating so he's not intimidating.
He: She's so entrancing I want to take her dancing.
She: He's compassionate without a lot of flash in it.
He: She's bewitching. I'll never feel like ditching her.
She: He's nifty. I'm sure he's under fifty.
He: She's foxy, not into orthodoxy.
She: He's sophisticated, makes me want to kissticate 'im.

She: He's philosophical and always ecological.
He: She's assuring which is reassuring.
She: He's discriminating so he's not intimidating.
He: She's so entrancing I want to take her dancing.
She: He's charismatic, refined, charming, fascinating.
He: She's bewitching. I'll never feel like ditching her.
She: He's compassionate without a lot of flash in it.
Nifty!
He: Tender, warm, sincere. She's foxy!

She: I met a guy who's considerate
And not at all like you.
He: I met a girl who loves Pride and Prejudice.
She: I love Pride and Prejudice.
And walks in Central Park on a rainy day.
I met a guy who's dog likes pizza.
He: My dog loves pizza.
She: It couldn't be.
He: Could it?
Both: That person that's not at all like you is me!
