      Well I mean the song is ironic, isn't it I think Rupert Holmes actually does know that both characters in this song are jerks and the heartwarming ending is deeply unrealistichttps://twitter.com/GailSimone/status/1366406886027788289 …

      Gail Simone @GailSimone
      I had a debate with @jamesgunn about ‘(Escape) The Pina Colada Song’ and he was saying it’s a good song while I stood up for humanity. Last night we were playing the Guardians soundtrack and suddenly Rupert Holmes starts whining about his old lady and James Gunn you tricked me.

      I think I did a thread before about what a great comedy scenario it would be for the two of them to, like, continue carrying on an "affair" for months while passive-aggressively pretending to not recognize each other and waiting for the other one to break

      What if they also used the scenario to try out all the things they'd been wanting to do and it turned out they each only thought the other was boring because both were scared to ask for the really kinky stuff?

      I have seen a proposal to rescue the Piña Colada Song by making it about an apparently cishet couple both in the closet about being queer and trans

      this is where my brain went to cope with the song being on the in-store play list at work. "I knew her smile in instant" is actually sweet if it's the narrator's first time seeing her as herself, and there's more depth to the internalized misogyny "if you have half a brain"

      "If you have half a brain" was originally in the newspaper ad the wife wrote, addressed to the men she expected to reply, so I'm not sure it's misogynistic in this context

          I didn't want to think about the lyrics that hard, I don't remember who's "not into yoga" and health food, I get a "not like other girls" read from it. at the very least they both seem kind of insufferable

          The funny thing is the one thing everyone remembers, the piña coladas, is a drink Rupert Holmes hates ("It tastes like kaopectate") but he put it in because it was the only cocktail that fit the meter
