Guestblog: Whigwham on Iyaz, Replay

Editor: Evidently, Whigwham is Three White Leopards' resident pop music commentator.

This song is hilarious. I love the similes. Interesting lyric: "Doin' things I never do; I'm in the kitchen cookin' things she likes."

This made me wonder. We can speak of things like gender differences and the differences in role they bring about, and presumably these differences regulate or "channel" the flow of romantic love. However, what if love itself has a tendency to "overflow," or even invert, gender roles and differences? In other words, is it a coincidence that Iyaz cooks for Shawty?

or, alternatively, it's cooking things she likes that's different from what he'd usually do.
