about

This B-side ditty was written on location in Chicago the morning after F This Movie Fest, inspired by a nighttime conversation with Jan and JB, and written in their shower (don't worry, they knew I was using it).

Please note: while nothing about the song is explicitly movie-related, it is part of F This Movie canon. Update your compendia accordingly.

lyrics

She's tall but she don't play basketball
But there's all kinds of things that she does well

She runs fast as a car
She can fly to the stars
And there's no word in English she can't spell

And if you add up all the things that make her special
Put 'em in a spreadsheet on a Mac
You would have a document so monumental
There's no way to sort the data that'll tell me if she's coming back

Now, I see her on my TV screen
Basking in her well-earned accolades
And I cheer with the crowd
I yell twice as loud
As tears I can't control run down my face

We don't have to talk about the ways she's special
After all this time it's understood
Everyday she lives up to her vast potential
Please believe me when I tell you I'd vote for her ten times if I could

She's tall but she don't play basketball
But there's all kinds of things that she does well
