What to Watch
Spoof of You Can Call Me All by Paul Simon
[Verse 1]
A man looks at his wife and smiles, he says,
"What are we going to do to night?
What do you want to do tonight? The kids are at your sister’s house.
We can go do dinner and a movie. I’ll check what movies are playing."
“Don’t wanna watch no animated flix. That for the kids.”
[Pre-Course]
Nothings Good, Nothings Good
Robots in the moonlight
Monsters killing Aliens
It’s the same thing, same thing.
Sweetheart, it would be groovy,
If we stay home and watch a movie.
[Course]
We can watch “The Bodyguard”
And My Girl if we have the time
You Got Mail on Netflix
The Proposal after dinner cause it’s free on Prime
[Verse 2]
The man looked at his wife, he says, “I don’t like all those Rom Coms.
I really don’t like those Rom Coms. Can’t we watch some action instead?”
His wife says, “Do you love me? If you really love me
You would love the movies that I love, I love.”
[Pre-Course]
He grabbed the remote, pointed at the screen,
He selected Netflix and hit search.
All along, along, he was thinking Marvel or DC,
Or Star Wars, or Maybe Star Trek
[Course]
"We can watch the Bodyguard
Then X-Men if we have the time.
Then My Girl on Netflix
The Avengers after dinner cause it’s free on prime"
[Verse 3]
The wife looks at the man
Asks, “Why would you suggest that.
You know I don’t like that.”
Then he said that "if you love me,
You would love my movies too.”
“Don’t use my words against me.
What is there we can both see?
What can we both enjoy?”
“On movies we never agree, agree”
[Pre-Course]
Then that is when the doorbell rang.
Somebody there was knocking.
The door was opened, opened.
A long-lost pal named Betty; there she stood.
Problems solved. He’s now happy. he says, "Amen," and "Hallelujah"
[Course]
"You can watch the Bodyguard
Go watch it with your long-lost pale
I’ll call my friend Eddie
Ask Eddie when he come here
Can you please bring Sal"
[Post-Chorus]
Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha
Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha-Ha
Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha, Ha
Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha-Ha
[Outro]
Y’all can watch the bodyguard (Ooh)
I’ll call my friend Eddie (Ooh)
Y’all can watch the bodyguard
I’ll call my friend Eddie
Y’all can watch the bodyguard

This couple's movie night dilemma is relatable. It's always a struggle to find something we both like. I've been there. What would you do if you were in their shoes? Maybe try a genre neither has explored before? It's funny how they keep going back and forth. I wonder if they'll ever find a movie they can enjoy together without an argument. Or will they just keep suggesting movies they like and hope for the best?
