A/N: It's a bit meant to be funny, so, yea...

Ella Jean

Can we go back when we were young?
When we talked about making out with Paula Abdul
Before you stopped eating?
Before I cut myself?

Before Naomi and Laura fell out?
Before Allie got grounded
And Ash went away…

Can we go back when we were young?
When we didn’t worry?
When paradise was still up and running
Before Rashad hacked the board
Before Naomi left para?

Before Tyler left me
Before CJ ban me from FC…
Before I needed someone to live for?

Can we go back when we were young?
Talking about Simon Cowell
And Paula Abdul?
Watching American Idol with hopes of Saula?

Before I became
A wee bit Shimonite…
Before stupid Daula
And all the fights with Laura…

When you wrote my Simon fic smut
And Laura hounded me for updates
Before I started looking for mates…

Can we go back when we were young?
When all we would listen to
Is Paulatics by my baby, Ella Jean
My little Vegas girl
My Ella Jean

Can you go back to when you were young? So what, like a week ago?

A_Perfect_Sonnet · 01-09-2006, 06:51 PM

Twelve year olds haven't lived long enough lives to reflect back on what they did or didn't do.

madeinNY · 01-09-2006, 06:52 PM

Aye but its the truth, I don't know how to say something thats not the truth and if its cliche so be it.

Thanks for the critism though.

Other than that, what did you think?

madeinNY · 01-09-2006, 06:52 PM

APS, this 12 year old did. My lifespan is longer than most, Shhhhh..dont tell anyone.

A_Perfect_Sonnet · 01-09-2006, 06:53 PM

I think songs such as Nickleback's Photograph are lame because they have forced rhymes and poor sentance construction with mediocre use of diction. Same applies to this.

Crowe · 01-09-2006, 06:54 PM

APS, while in this case you're probably right, you can't say that for every 12 year old. Some 12 y/o's have gone through more than most people have gone through in a lifetime. Now I can say that, and if you want proof - I can go look up a news article in a jif. Just gotta be careful what you say on a forum, you don't know what these people have been through.

creepinson · 01-09-2006, 06:55 PM

hell i imagine you started liking chicks around 6, 7, 8?

paula abdul was still old back then....

this song gets both a bad crit for the things alexisonfire stated (sweet band btw) and for the relation to the pre teen love of OLD people

madeinNY · 01-09-2006, 06:56 PM

Thank you Crowe, and you're so right about that.

By the way people, if you didn't read the authors note, song equals MEANT TO BE FUNNY.

I hate Nickelback, APS.

Other person that just posted above me, Paula Abdul isn't old, she's middle aged and looks great for her age, IMO. Let me like who I wanna like, it's a state of preference, not something arguable.

A_Perfect_Sonnet · 01-09-2006, 06:59 PM

The point is, the song reminds me of a song such as Nickleback's, in which the person poorly reflects back on insignificant events in their life. They are mass marketed, and have become contrived through overuse.
