'Hit me baby one more time'.

What were the rest of the words to that song anyway?  Were there other 
words?  And does anyone really care about the 6 I just mentioned?  No.  It's 
all about the phrasing, pacing, and underlying hook.  And that's why Trees 
is a radio hit. 'It'll be you..and me...up in...the tre-es.'  And no one 
would really care about those 9 other words I just typed just like they 
didn't care about the first 6.  Really.

And I still think it's snark on 'Marty and (ex-gf) sitting in a tree, 
K-I-S-S-I-N-G'

Peace,
