So these are the facts: A heartbroke barfly sits in a honky-tonk night after night, drinking her old memories down. She’s a white wine kind of gal, unless she starts with the hard stuff-- Tequila shots, with lime and salt. Then, boy, look out. Literally. She might stomp you, and it’s just because of that dangler between your hairy man-thighs. Rumor is that K-13 on the ol’ jukebox is her favorite song. So without going over to the jukebox and looking, what do you think would be the favorite song of a heartbroken white-wine-drinkin barfly cougar who has the potential to turn to violence against any and all men within eyesight after a few shots of the ol’ Mexican Worm Juice? Need answer fast! ---

Lot of great ideas here. My thought is that K-13 is going to be an upbeat song. Why? Cuz it’s _her song_. It’s the song that stops her in her tracks and gets her dancing and/or singing along when it comes on. And, if you play your cards right, it’s the song that gets you lucky when you play it. Keep 'em coming people! ---

That was the most cloying glurge filled piece of video crap I’ve ever seen. some stupid story arc of Travis being in a wheelchair, or some such.

Bruce Springsteen, [‘Tougher than the Rest’](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_91hNV6vuBY). She’s a heartbroke barfly with good taste. And I just have to say the OP is a really nice piece of writing. I read it three times because it’s so satisfying to read. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/k-13-is-her-favorite-song-if-you-play-it-you-might-have-a-chance/653515.md?page=2)
