He's a conservative talk-show host and Chrissie Hynde is a PETA spokesperson and, presumably, liberal.<br> <br> She can't be happy about it - so how do these things happen? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48170 Sun, 08 Oct 2006 19:48:28 -0800 limbaugh pretenders rush crapples http://ask.metafilter.com/47524/Pretenders%2DLyrics%2Dor%2DWhat%2DIs%2DReet%2Dor%2DSpecial%2DReet%2DService Is this really the right lyric to Brass In Pocket by The Pretenders? If so, what on earth does it mean? All of the lyrics sites that Google produces give me this lyric:<br> <br> "GOT RHYTHM I CAN'T MISS A BEAT<br> GOT NEW SKANK IT'S SO REET"<br> <br> What does "Reet" mean? Also, is there some sort of late-70's slang that would explain the words "Got new skank"?<br> <br> (PS: Of course I put "define: reet" into Google, but the resulting definition is almost certainly not what Hynde was talking about.) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.47524 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 15:43:48 -0800 lyrics pretenders crapples
