"Around the World" -- Red Hot Chili Peppers

The line "Step aside, Mike Johnson" carries a new meaning now.

I heard these songs one after the other on the radio a few weeks ago. Turns out there’s a decadelong conversation between Bruno Mars and Miley Cyrus:

When I Was Your Man (2013) - Bruno Mars
I shoulda bought you flowers and held your hand,
Shoulda gave you all my hours when I had the chance,
Take you to every party ‘cuz all you wanted to do was dance.

Flowers (2023) - Miley Cyrus
I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand,
Talk to myself for hours, say things you don’t understand.
I can take myself dancing, and I can hold my own hand.

Flowers (2023) - Miley Cyrus
write my name in the sand,
Talk to myself for hours,
say things you don’t understand.

My God, Miley is a conlanger...

Flowers (2023) - Miley Cyrus
write my name in the sand,
Talk to myself for hours,
say things you don’t understand.

My God, Miley is a conlanger...

WHAT
TRUE
OMFG

I remember the first time I heard "Flowers" on the radio last year. I commented to the other person in the car, "The lyrics sure sound a lot like 'When I Was Your Man' by Bruno Mars", and he agreed that they did. Didn't quite realize at the time that it was intended as an answer song.

Oh, well, I didn’t mean that Miley Cyrus intended her song as a response, but it can be interpreted that way

I wasn't saying that you of all people said it was a response; it was just something I learned after hearing the song for the first time and looking it up on Wikipedia.

Ah, I clearly didn’t read the Wikipedia page! That’s neat that it’s not a coincidence
