She said wait first, just let me explain
I said no need to, just give me his name
And then she said uh...uh
I say uh what
She said please sit down in a chair
And I say no, I'm standin up
And she cries out I'm so scared to tell you because of what ya might do
And I screamed look girl you better give me this man's name and I'm not playin wit you
She says okay, wipes her nose and asks me about a girl named Tina
I thought to myself, said it sound familiar
I said I probably know her if I seen her
Then I say anyway girl, what the hell does that got to do with this man
She said he know my girl Roxanne
I said who the hell is Roxanne
Then she says Roxanne's a friend of mine who know with this guy named Chuck
Chuck's cool wit this guy name Rufus
And I'm sittin here like what the #%*@
Then she says Rufus wife, Kathy
We both went to high school
She introduced me to
The policeman that stopped you
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

But it's even funnier than that because she is like jealous on behalf of the girl in the drive thru - she's not like saying to Al "who's this chick you might know?" she's asking the girl who Paul is and sounding jealous. funny.Orthography Enthusiast @ Feb 6 2007, 05:14 PM wrote: I think the "now tell me who's this Paul" bit is a poke at the jealousy/infidelity motif that runs through R Kelly's song. I actually find it very amusing the way Al puts the jealousy thing out there, and then dials it down to something absurdly inconsequential.
<--That's Al going up the escalator.
Now tell me who's this Paul
Now tell me who's this Paul

I found it funny too. Plus the fact that then Al gets into about this guy he knew named Paul. Very funny. A genius song, I still am amazed that he has enough lyrics for almost 11 minutes of music. Was the original that long?Larry @ Feb 7 2007, 06:23 AM wrote: But it's even funnier than that because she is like jealous on behalf of the girl in the drive thru - she's not like saying to Al "who's this chick you might know?" she's asking the girl who Paul is and sounding jealous. funny.

Wow....weirdalfan95 @ Feb 7 2007, 07:20 AM wrote: The original was in 12 parts... I think like 3 minutes averaged? Something around that area... I think all 12 parts added up to 45 minutes... Somewhere around that area.

Remember how there was a large contingency of people here who hadn't heard Dick's Automotive and were shocked to hear the similarities?
People, this is a Weird Al forum. If you want to be sure you "get" all the jokes, it is pretty imperative to be familiar with the original material. I highly recommend that you take a listen to at least the first five chapters of Trapped In The Closet. All of them can be found on YouTube and it makes Al's parody WAYYYYY funnier.

Jon is absolutely right. I listened to the first five chapters of the original before the album came out, and it really enhances the experience. Trust me, if you think this song is funny and you haven't heard "Trapped in the Closet", it will become about 100,000 times more funny once you've listened to the original. That goes for any of Al's parodies, but this one is especially important. You really need to understand the whole structure of R. Kelly's song in order to realize why this is such a brilliant parody.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.
