Oh mighty manhattan, if you deem this thread not worthy of GQ, by all means move it. Anyway, I’ve got a snippet of a song in my head, and I’ve exhausted all my loser, brain-dead channels, so I put to you, the brainiest of the brainiest. The song has a verse where some dude is in bed with a chick, he gets out of bed, and when he returns someone else has taken his place. Boom. That’s all I remember. Nobody believes that this song exists. Please, please identify this song. I know I’m not worthy, but just this once. ## -David Smiles disabled, as always ---

Your mistake, Suo Na, was typing in the lyrics, allowing me to clip you by a minute. Still, you get bonus points for spelling Cecilia right. ---
