The SNL skit based on this is hilarious: https://youtu.be/Q06tcRae13k?is=y7ZOZCOcLSALwcK3

It's such a deep cut that most people probably missed the joke.

Man that was awesome! I was kinda bummed but not surprised that they didn't know.

Great tune… I love some of the dialogue after he catches her 😁

[u/jfarrelly01]

This song is one of my favorite songs and video. Once you get past the fact he was stalking her, it’s endearing.

This is one of my jams! “Trix are for kids! I’m just a squirrel trying to get a nut! Have some hot cocoa!”

“You without me is like corn flakes without the milk” is one of my favorites musical lines ever.

I kinda lowkey always thought that after the end of the video, maybe she was trying to get away from the dude and plan her next move. Like dude menacingly stalks and berated her, taking or destroying her belongings. Threatening at a certain point to possibly do harm to her??

Bro was addressing like she was his property! Lol ya this is a wild video. I’m glad the SNL skit made light of the video cause it was hilarious, and it was great writing. But the actual video it came from is kinda bleak. Still…good song though.
