Yeah, my stepfather, Mick Jones, whom my mom married when I was 10, and he wrote that song, you know, for her, and it's like, I mean, it's definitely setting the bar pretty high, like, as a kid, like, okay, well, you're not going to write anything as good as that for anybody, but also, what was more funny is that he had written a song

he tried to tell that he wrote the song waiting for a girl like you as well that was another big ballad that he had for her and she was like you wrote that song like five years before you met me he's like right but i was waiting for a girl like you now that that's that's that's man math right there well mark we've asked you here to play a game that we're calling

Yeah. Let's go. Let's go.

I'm going to go with C because that's the funkiest.

The whole thing about the funk, and I know that I'm not on camera for most people, is like that kind of face, you know, and like nutmeg is not making me.

Good luck punching that one up, Bronson. I'm going to go with A. Yes, it is the aroma of Tacoma.

Um... I just see sounds so good.

Thanks so much.

I do. I remember being in an Uber and hearing it. I think I was coming home. Maybe I was a little drunk coming home from a club at 2 in the morning. It was the first time I ever heard it on the radio, and it was the most exciting thing ever. And I remember saying to the driver, I was like, this is me. LAUGHTER He's listening to Bruno Mars going, I don't believe it.

He's like, it doesn't sound like you. I mean, I produced it. But anyway, no, it was so exciting.

Well, not by the Uber driver's reaction. You know what it was? That song we worked on for a really long time, about seven or eight months, because Bruno was such a perfectionist. I kind of am. Jeff Basker, the other producer, we are in our work.

So by the time we finally stopped bickering about it and got it to a point where we all felt good, we were like, wow, if it passed this peanut gallery, at least we know, you know, we feel good about it. But Everything that happened after that was just such a wonderful thing. I mean, when you put a song out, it's no longer yours. It belongs to everybody. And then they decide what happens with it.

So that's kind of what happened with that song.

No, if anybody's dancing, that's good enough for me. So, I mean, I have seen some, one of my favorite things, you know, in my early days, of DJing in clubs in New York in the 90s.

RuPaul once came into the club, it was somewhere where I was DJing, and this was when Ru was in sort of plain clothes and a very handsome suit, and came up to me, and it was just like at the end of the night, you're making me dance so much, you're making my booty hurt. And I just thought that that was so cool that I put that on a business card.

Business cards that just said like, you're making my booty hurt, RuPaul. Available for weddings and bar mitzvahs.

It's funny, because now I'm just so hyper attuned to like, it could be the music in a Burger King commercial.

Yes, that is absolutely true.
