"I Want It That Way"
Ok y'all, we actually figured it out. it took us months of being confused and preferring the original "I want it that way" to the one we all know. But now we get why they released this version instead - it would have been just another love song. And, to prove to you once and for all we think about them way to much... we present to you.... our very own
"They Want it What Way?" Theory
See, the Boys love this girl. She's their fire... their one desire... yada yada yada. But they're growing apoat, and she's like, yeah, I want it that way. So they are all broken hearted, and "never wanna hear [her] say... I want it that way". And then they're asking, ok, am I your fire? your one desire? cause see.... they want it to be that way. And even though they do, they don't wanna hear her have to say it... they just want it to be that way without having to say it. Or something like that. Shut up.
"I Need You Tonight"
Diet Theory
So you thought Nick was sexy-serenading some chick... needing her now, tonight. Well we don't think so at all. We think he's singing to a pizza.
- "I know what we have been through so much... but I still need you in my life, this time."
See, he and Pizza go way back ... but he's on diet, or maybe trying to give up eating it so much, or maybe AJ bet him money he wouldn't last a certain amount of time. But he still craves it. He can't live without Pizza.
- "It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right ... I need you tonight."
Screw the diet... there's a steaming cheese pizza right there... and damnit, he's hungry.
- "All I'm saying is at times we tried to make it last forver more."
He's either singing about making the diet or the pizza last right here. We're not sure.
**Disclaimer**
We know we said we wouldn't tease Nick about his weight. We're not. If skinny AJ had sung this song... we'd still have our whole pizza idea. Thank you.
"Don't Want You Back"
Lesbian Theory
Seriously. This song is about lesbians. Here's our proof:
- "You were more than just pretty face... but how you fooled me, I'm still amazed."
How she fooled him? come on.
- "But I should have know that I would be, another victim of your sexuality."
Don't think this one needs much explaining.
- "You're no good for me ... I know."
Can't do much with a lesbian...
- "You started goin out with so-called friends... But I was blind and so I lost all common sense. But there were things that made me realize... like all the hundred, no thousand lies."
We rest our case.
"The One"
"Stray Puppy Theory"
Now they're singing to lost puppy dogs. Check it out:
- "I guess you were lost when I met you..."
LOST puppy! see?
- "There you are... wild and free, reachin' out like you need me, a helping hand to make it right, I am holding you all through the night."
- "I'll be the one who will make all your sorrows undone, I'll be the light when you feel like there's no where to run I'll be the one to hold you, and make sure that you'll be alright."
Ode to a stray puppydog. Need more convincing?
- "you need me. i need you."
I am very close to my puppy - i know she needs me and i need her back to play with. I'm sure Squash would agree about her cat, Brian about Tyk and Nick about all his dozens of dogs. Thanks for your time.
