Agreed.

Like, I need to come up with a backstory of, it's like, you know, it's, you remember the Meredith Brooks song?

No.

It's, "I'm a, I'm a..." Yeah, anyway, okay.

It's The Graces, Lay Down Your Arms, 29 on the Capitol Countdown from this week in September 1989.

The Graces were Charlotte Caffey of the Go-Go's, G.S. Chiambotti, and the then relatively unknown Meredith Brooks, eight years before she had that enormous single in 1988.

Yes, that one.

And funnily enough, Belinda Carlyle, Charlotte Caffey's old Go-Go's bandmate, went on to record Lay Down Your Arms in 1993.

Send help.

Okay, so the first one that I can think of...

Honestly, my first favorite song of all time is Bitch by Meredith Brooks.

That's a good one.

That is a really good one.

Who does Bitch? I'm a bitch.

Meredith Brooks.

Yeah.

Different.

And my name is Beth.

And my name is Sylvie.

We're going to have to address this, Sylvie.

We're going to have to address the new name.

Are you going to beat the new name allegations?

I'm not going to beat the allegations.

I have a new name.

I do not feel ashamed.

Meredith, what's her name? Didn't even bother to rhyme?

It rhymes enough.

I'm a...

This is a question for both of you.

Okay.

I'm a Bitch, I'm a Lover by Meredith, what's it called? Brooks.

Meredith Brooks.
