SpinTunes #14 Round 2
Previously on...: Choose a famous song. It must have appeared on a Billboard Top 100 list. Now write a song that is a prequel to that famous song, such that the hit song appears to be an answer to your newly-created masterpiece.

My recording equipment crapped out on me again this week, so after wasting way too much time trying to repair my recording setup, I fell back on the old "iPad & Garageband" method.

Inspired by "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfeild, and also "Hey Jessie" by Inverse T Clown, from Spintunes 3, effectively making this the Rick Vs Jessie Trilogy.

lyrics

I've been seeing this new girl,
It's not official yet, but she rocks my world.
I can see it in her eyes,
It doesn't mean a thing when she talks to other guys.
She digs my music and she loves my friendas,
but she's been hanging out with Jessie and I'm making sure it ends.

I'm gonna make her choose.
My plan is well rehearsed.
I'm not gonna lose,
'Cause I saw her first

It's me or Jessie,
It's Jessie or me.
It's me or Jessie,
It's Jessie or me.

I'm not one for playing games,
Jessie's growing a big head, and it's a crying shame.
U hope she lets him down with grace,
And if she doesn't, at least that'll put him back in his place.
As long as I've got her, everything will be alright,
she'll be lovin' me with that body by the end of the night

Jessie will understand
because we're in love
I've got the upper hand
'Cause I saw her first.

It's me or Jessie,
It's Jessie or me.
I don't wanna hurt his feelings, but I gotta make amends,
I just hope that when it's over, Me and Jessie can be friends.
It's me or Jessie,
It's Jessie or me.

Been using my best lines, and playing it cool.
I know she only has eyes for me.
I know that Jessie will play byn the rules,
I just hope she lets him down easily.

Gonna lay it out in stone.
I'll bring it up as soon as the three of us are along
This is how it's gotta be.
She's gotta make a decision, and she's gonna choose me.
I wouldn't put her in this position if there was another way
but it's gotta be her decision, and I know what she'll say.

I hope he takes it well
I know she's wanting me
Why can't he tell
That I saw her first.

It's me or Jessie,
It's Jessie or me.
I don't wanna hurt his feelings, but I gotta make amends,
I just hope that when it's over, Me and Jessie can be friends.
It's me or Jessie,
It's Jessie or me.
It's me or Jessie,
It's Jessie or me.
