I swear that I read somewhere that Shelton doesn't like that speech (or, at the very least, the last line about the deep kisses) and grudgingly added it in to make some suit happy and get his movie made.

Whoa - I suddenly thought I was on songmeanings.com for a second there.

@avclub-9ff7c9eb9d37f434db778f59178012da:disqus Sorry - I had already done an The A.V. Club joke and had the fix.  Upon revisiting it, I wish I had posted a comment in between the two above that simply said something like "Wait a second…"

@avclub-7656b560c7e180f8e0d84ca82ac0d8b7:disqus You're no longer a commenter being, you're a commenter doing.  And what comes next?

You might have a point…?

Yeah, really.  That show went from INCREDIBLE CRITICAL AND SOCIAL IMPORTANCE to all but forgotten in like 5 years.

God dammit, @avclub-c3420bfbd159b546b7ac7f38c6f7fa55:disqus , you know how to do this:
