Best Lyric I Never Heard

Saw Alicia Keyes last night on 'The Colbert Report' - apparently she's a new happenin' Soul singer.

She and Steve did a rap song about their mutual love for New York City. My fave city in the world. Did you know you can leave your hotel room and go out and get a pizza there at 3:00 in the morning - and the streets are packed?! And on a weeknight, no less?

Was so impressed that I picked up her CD today, only for the song 'Empire State Building of Mind.'

Was a little disappointed that it didn't include Colbert's mid-song rap about the 'burbs.

But even more so after reading the lyrics and finding out that the words I bought it for were different than what I thought I had heard on the TV.

Apparently, "These streets will make you feel Brando," are really - "will make you feel brand new."

Oh well. Even without a reference to Marlon Brando (the actor,) it's a good song anyway. And even without the Colbert rap. Makes me feel like getting a passport.

Ain't heard the rest of the music yet. Any rhyming couplets that end with 'Dorothy Parker' tho, will be carefully scrutinized.
