Only song I can use my full name as a substitute, but "My name is Taylor Asher Miller, I'm a serial lady-killer" is borderline creepsville. D: Amazing song though =)

I love this song. That's exactly what she said.

I like to sing this song and replace "workin on a broken man" with "workin on a broken Jen" because, well, it's applicable. I've just had trouble makin up a catchphrase for myself that works with my name to replace "My names Stewart Ransom Miller. I'm a serial lady-killer."

The best song of many great songs. If you can, see 'em live.

I keep getting told I need to update my Flash player to see but have the most recent version. Is there some sort of bug with this?
-
Thats all I got

I played this in my car for a friend and she said "did he say what's so great about the barrier reef"? I said yes and we laughed hysterically. Mr. Miller - always a good turn of phrase.



"The empty bottle was half-empty, the tide was low and I was thirsty, I saw her sitting at the bar...." Some of the best play on words comes from this band. This makes them so enduring. Thanks for posting this video.

I used to go watch Rhett play in coffee houses and such in the late eighties in Dallas. I still think he's one of the most underated song writers of his time. I wish I could find a video of him singing " Candyapple corkscrew hair"
