Discovery and Ownership

When Grant and I were in New Zealand we heard this great song on the radio. We laughed because the first line talked about how the singer knew this guy was checking out her "bum." We had already picked up some New Zealand/English slang, like "afternoon bonker," which to this day we still use (and try to do occasionally, sorry, mom, my one faithful reader).

So, when I got home I searched high and low for this artist. I couldn't remember her name so I searched for the lyrics I could remember. I finally found out her name was Kate Nash. I found the song Grant and I heard on myspace and added it to my myspace page. At the time only about 1200 other people had added this song to their page. I felt like Columbus, discovering the new world! After a while, I took the song off. Being in marketing, I do like to keep my page relatively fresh! :)

Now, I heard this song on TV! I actually heard it on Grey's Anatomy. I also heard it on an advertisement for some MTV show that I don't watch. And, it's also been used in a television cell phone ad. It's being used everywhere! Plus, her myspace hits are not in the bizzilions (or something like that).

I feel like I made this discovery, personally. What a funny feeling to have! Like, I own the "discovery" of Kate Nash in America since I was one of the few Americans to hear the song abroad and bring it back to share with my friends. Us Americans are so silly.

Anyway, here it is. I still think it's a sweet song and I dedicate it to all my friends who have felt like she does in the song!
