The other night I was out with Micah when the Pussycat Dolls song "Beep" came on. For those of you unfamiliar with the song, here are some sample lyrics:

"It's funny how a man only thinks about the [beep noise] /
You got a real big heart, but I'm looking at your [beep noise] /
You got real big brains, but I'm looking at your [beep noise] /
Girl, there ain't no pain in me looking at your [beep noise]"

"This song is really quite genius," I tell Micah, taking a sip of my drink. "How do you figure?" he asks.

"Well, it's kind of like a Hitchcock movie. It takes the main focus of the song and it kind of hides it from the listener, forcing them to use their imagination to create what lays under the beep. Therefore, if a man is more into a woman's chest, that's what he would imagine is under the beep. If he's more of a leg man, then legs are under the beep. The song can be different things to different people, thus being accessible to a wider audience and, really, being whatever the listener wants it to be. 'Baby Got Back' by Sir Mix-A-Lot or 'Legs' by ZZ Top only caters to a listeners specific predilections, but the beauty of 'Beep' is that it can cater to anyone."

Micah stares at me for a second. "Did you just compare 'Beep' to a Hitchcock film!?"
