Inspired by 88 lines about 44 women (official video, NSFW "mondo documentary" footage), here are 88 lines about 44: fangirls, presidents, bloggers, rats, 2011 news stories, sitcoms, men (track 8), Simpsons, yelpers, e-cigs, cars, and mefites.

Wow, so many people in the 44 Mefites song that you don't see on Mefi anymore. It's clearly time for a sequel.

I just played that in Turntable today on a whim, the first time I've heard it in years!

Is it bad or good that I get all of the references in the fangirl song? Even the ones I wish I didn't know about (like Gor).

GOd I love this song so much. I don't know what it is, but there are few moments in any music more viscerally thrilling to me every single time than "Jezebel went forty days drinking nothing but perrier / Dinah drover her chevrolet into the San Francisco Bay." I can't describe it. It just spins the whole tenor of the song around from "dude talking about women he's known/dated" to a desperate "people need help, yo." Every damn time.

I can't find a copy online, but Keith Knight did an abbreviated version about 22 roommates in one of his earliest books (probably Dances with Sheep) that was pretty funny. "Patrick was a hippie, liked to hang out in the nude/Mona liked to let it rip and say it wasn't rude."

As soon as I saw the title, I thought to myself "wouldn't it be funny if they didn't include cortex's mefi version?" Actually, I find it a bit interesting that people still regularly make derivatives of 44 Lines. It is a good song though, so maybe not that interesting.

(Or, in other words, ocherdraco needs to work on reading comprehension, as that was clearly in the post.)

Back when I wrote the now-defunct blog about law school from which I drew my username, I studied for my 1L Constitutional Law exam by writing 88 Lines about 44 Plaintiffs. Of interest only to others who have taken a 1L Constitutional Law class, I'd imagine, but it covers most of the big cases and I did pretty well on the exam, so there's that.

Wow, so many people in the 44 Mefites song that you don't see on Mefi anymore. It's clearly time for a sequel. Someone else has to do it this time.

88 Lines is a good song, but a much better trope.

You beat cortex to it. (Though to be fair, he didn't even have six years to get it done.)

I just played that in Turntable Reason #426 why I'm overjoyed to be older than snot: ability to throw Mood Swing LP onto actual turntable . . . especially since "Everytime I Touch You" is an even better song.
