Happy Monday! And welcome to the second post in my continuing series “Anatomy of a Song.” These posts pick apart some of my favorite songs that happen to have messages relevant to the hilarious disasters of dating.

A close friend of mine, Jimmy P., is a pretty interesting guy. He’s tried just about every avenue you could think of to meet women, from hitting on girls at bars to attending events like speed dating and eye gazing parties.

My deepest apologizes for the extended blogging hiatus. I’ll not insult your intelligence, Reader, by trying to convince you I’m so hard-working that I don’t need a vacation from routine every now and then.
