Tickled Pink Tonight

One of the many songs where I've heard the remix version before the original, it had been a part of a Drive at Five mix on C89.5 FM. I laughed my ass off on the way home from work one evening and had to track it down to post it on my MySpace profile. That was when I realized that I hated the original and would wait for the remix to come out on MP3 or a CD. This is the perfect song to describe my thought process when going out dancing, although it's maybe a little harsher than I would put things.
So many memories come to mind with these lyrics and even Nicole agreed with the two spots in Tacoma I named Saturday night as we listened to the song. There'd once been a time when "at the door we don't wait 'cause we know them". Even though Nicole claimed she was only a flunky following me around, that was never true. We were all partners in crime eager to hit the floor and show the world we could dance.
Normally I would take a moment and talk about the story portrayed in the song, but this time I think I'll just skip that. There’s nothing subtle about this song, so there’s no reason for me to explain a single section of it. Enjoy!


You and Your Hand
By Pink

Check it out
Going out
On the late night
Looking tight
Feeling nice
It's a cock fight
I can tell
I just know
That it's going down
Tonight

At the door we don't wait 'cause we know them
At the bar six shots just beginning
That's when dickhead put his hands on me
But you see

I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really wanna mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink, just gimme the money
It's just you and your hand tonight

Midnight
I'm drunk
I don't give a fuck
Wanna dance
By myself
Guess you're outta luck
Don't touch
Back up
I'm not the one
Buh-bye
Listen up, it's just not happening
You can say what you want to your boyfriends
Just let me have my fun tonight-aiiiight

I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really wanna mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink, just gimme the money
It's just you and your hand tonight

Break break break
Break it down

In the corner with your boys you bet 'em five bucks
You'd get the girl that just walked in but she thinks you suck
We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see
So quit spilling your drinks on me yeah
You know who you are
High five and talkin' shit, but you're going home alone arentcha?

'Cause I'm not here for your entertainment (No)
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second (Just stop and take a second)
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over (Know it's over)
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight (It's just you and your hand)

I'm not here for your entertainment (No no no)
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second (Just take a second)
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just gimme the money
It's just you and your hand tonight
