As a woman, if a guy called me "kiddo" he'd be dumped before he could say "close but no cigar" :F

I don't know, at the risk of being unpopular, I agree with the guys on this song. It's just so funny to think that the song's character is so ridiculous about who he wants to spend his life with. (And personally, I yell at people for using words inappropriately, so I'd have snapped Jillian's head off.)

Plus, religious differences don't figure highly with lots of people I know. In fact, one of my sister friend's parnets (bear with me here) is Jewish while the other is something completely different (I can't remember what) but it hasn't caused any problems. That's my view anyway :P

I'm Catholic and my boyfriend is Agnostic...I don't think it matters unless lifestyle changes are at the center of the debate.

I was thinking, instead of CBNC perhaps being retrospective [albeit an extremely loose one] of Al's journey to finding the perfect woman, maybe it's a retrospective of how he was treated by women [again, taken to an extreme in the song]....just a thought I had earlier today :ph34r:
