| another great tune by the roon ! i really like it when they perform this song live. it really gets me going. my girlfriend isnt a big fan of rooney but i can always catch her singing "i met this girl on a saturday night, saturday night". anyone can realte to this song that has made dumb mistakes in the midsts of trying to impress the one they love. | |

| It doesn't look like a real realtionship-- it's just a fling. Things happened before he knew what was going on, but there was a premonition. Ech. That's all I have to say. It's straightforward. It's no fun interpreting something that doesn't need interpreted. Peace. | |

| It seems like he sees this girl, and before he even has a chance with her he thinks something is going to go wrong, and thats why hes apologising. But she doesnt care, and has a fling with him anyway. My favourite Rooney song. | |

| Johnny Rockets is a chain of '50s-style diners that are way over-priced. Hello, $5.51 for a grilled cheese?! And they don't even give you a pickle or anything with it? They do have awesome milkshakes. Uh... Yeah, I think it's fairly straight-forward, awesome tune, very upbeat and fun. :) | |

| lol yea quite straight forward but great song. kinda seems like he gets so nervous he seems to forget himself and acts like someone else "alter ego" he comes to his senses but his worry doesnt really go away "sorry sorry if im making your life a living hell". wat a catchy song tho :-) | |
