My Gen X Playlist: Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon – Urge Overkill

I used to always order straight off the menu. I was fine however it was prepared and rarely had any special requests. I’m not a picky eater and never liked troubling the server. In an attempt to be healthy, that has gone out the window. Tonight we are meeting friends at BJ’s for their Wednesday night burger special. Any burger on the menu with all you can eat fries for eleven bucks. Not a bad deal, except I have to modify my order to be on the healthier side. Here is a replay of the last time we went.

“I’ll have the bacon guacamole burger, please. Can you switch out the hamburger patty for grilled chicken? No bacon, please (can you hear me crying?) and on a whole wheat bun. Hold the mayo, ketchup and mustard – dry is fine. Instead of the all you can eat fries (now I’m sobbing), I’d like a wedge salad with the dressing on the side.“

All I can say is thank goodness God created avocados and they’re healthy for you. I do love guacamole. For all of you who were wondering like me, avocados are considered a fruit. I looked it up.

The servers are always gracious and accommodating. I’m actually fine with the order, it’s rather delicious. I do miss the fries, though. You can usually catch me stealing a fry or two off of someone else’s plate. This is a small price to pay to maintain good health. Now if my doctor tells me I have to begin drinking broccoli smoothies, I may have to draw the line there. No offense to broccoli. . .

I was having a difficult time coming up with a matching song, so this is going to take a little bit of a winding road.

In Pulp Fiction, Vince and Jules are discussing the cultural differences between Europe and the US. Specifically about how a “Quarter pounder with cheese” in Paris is called a “Royale with cheese”. The reasoning behind it is that they use the Metric system so they wouldn’t know what a “quarter pounder” is.

Classic scene from a classic Gen X movie. On the soundtrack, Urge Overkill covers Neil Diamond’s hit Girl, You’ll be a Woman Soon. Since I couldn’t find a burger song, I’ll settle for this one instead.

Girl, you'll be a woman... soon

I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I've died for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind.
Don't you know...

Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Soon, you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're saying girl it cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well I've finally found what I'm a looking for
But if they get their chance they'll end it for sure
Surely would
Baby I've done all I could
Now it's up to you...

Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Soon, you'll need a man

Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Soon but soon, you'll need a man
