You'll never watch a sitcom the same way ever again after you know that. Now, you'll see the A story, you'll see the B story, and you'll see how they fold into each other. It's beautiful.

Yes.

Yes.

What is that? Okay. So that is not the theme song. The name of the Living Single show was originally My Girls. Okay, I didn't know that. And we were told that it had to be changed because there was a movie of the same name. What movie? My Girl. My Girl. A decision was made, we're going to change the name, and the name was going to be changed to Living Single.

A sitcom with four black women. And two men. Yeah, it was a tough time. Yeah. So it was changed to Living Single. Okay. Which I thought it was a terrible name. Okay, why? Because nobody talks that way. You say, I'm living the single life. Or, ooh, I'm single and living it up big. Like, who says living single? It sounded harsh and hard to say. What did you do about it? Did you say anything?

My memory is that we took a golf cart over from the lot where we were over to the big lot where his office was. And I remember a set of doors opening up as if we were walking into heaven. It was like, oh. The executive office. And it took 15 years to walk to his desk because it was like a long walkway. And we fought for it. We're like, this is a terrible name. And why are you changing the name?

It's not going to, nobody's going to say it. And he just listened and said, okay, well, thank you so much for coming back and get on in your golf cart and go on back across. Dismissed. Dismissed. And we had to take it on. And now I couldn't imagine another name.

Yes, we fought for it. You know what?

Yes, we fought for it. You know what?

You know what I'm saying? And sometimes you lose. You lost. Most times you lose. Right. It's all good. What did we win? We won a great name. Once we got our name, Living Single. Boom. Who wrote the theme song for it? Queen Latifah. Who performed the theme song for it?
