Plot: Men you are finally invited! What really happens when one listens while the other one goes. Women love to give advice, but who likes to take advice or really listen to the problem. All problems are the same only the details are different. When it happens to you it is the end of the world, wait two weeks and the world laughs with you. An intrusion a stranger's interruption into a conversion ignites this parody that explodes with the pressures and expectations society puts on women to get married. Women of all ethnicities, ages and alternative life styles are represented here. The resolution is empowering and the cycle begins again.

Genres: Short,I want a new girl, the kind everybody wants
The kind that shout it out and then we laugh it off
I'll be a terrorist if she will be a looter
Eye of Fatima painted on her motor scooter and...
She puts on eye shadow
A deeper shade, a deeper shade of blue
And then she gets in bed with you
I want a new girl
Who can show me how to have a good time
And get closer to my life's design
In the darkness
Candle light across my face
I feel myself fall into grace and...
She puts on eye shadow
A deeper shade, a deeper shade of blue
And then she gets in bed with you
Man, sometimes I get the feeling so left out
And then I'm here again
I'm crying in my beer again
Loneliness closes down like a jail
This is a lonely tale
I'm singing in my jail cell
She's got a smile so wide to ease the pain
The pain I'm going through
And then she gets in bed with you
She's brand new, she's brand new, she's brand new
We walk Manhattan in a dark silver suit
In the blowing wind, no demons persecuted
And in the darkness, candle light across my face
In my mind I see...
She's got a smile so wide it eats the pain
The pain I'm going through
And then she gets in bed with you
She's brand new, she's brand new, she's brand new
Man, sometimes I get the feeling so left out
But then I'm here again
I'm crying in my beer again
Loneliness closes down like a jail
This is a lonely tale
This is a jail cell
She puts on eye shadow
A deeper shade, a deeper shade of blue
I'm very pleased with meeting you
She's got a smile so wide to ease the pain
The pain I'm going through
