What's that from filter: "Foreva eva? Foreva eva."

October 14, 2007 11:46 AM

This quote has been driving my roommate and I crazy for over a year. It's in a song, possibly TV show or movie. Basically someone asks "forever ever" (pronounced "foreva eva") in the context of "will you love me forever?" and then responds "foreva eva." ("yes I will love you forever). We think Will Smith said it at one point but we're not at all sure. We've googled but to no avail. Any idea what this is from or who said it?

It's not "Ms. Jackson" by Outkast is it?

And the relevant line is around 2:40 in the youtube link above.

Not related to romantic love, but there's many occurances of "Foreva eva? Foreva eva?? in Kanye West's "Diamonds from Sierra Leone"

... which is itself a reference to Ms. Jackson.

Thanks, Phyrewerx- that's exactly it. We watched it and when it came up we both simultaneously yelled, "That's IT!" To think this has been driving us insane for over a year and mefi answers it for us in two minutes...
Thanks for ending our stay in "what's that lyric" purgatory

I believe the Kanye west song popped up when we googled it at one point but that wasn't it -so we were stumped

Chris Rock references it in one of his HBO Specials too, I'm fairly certain.
