What If “You Were Working as a Waitress In a Cocktail Bar” Was the Only Lyric in “Don’t You Want Me”?

It’s politically incorrect to use the term “retarded” I know, but if it weren’t, I’d use it here along with the Brit exclamation, “Brilliant!” A YouTube has reduced the lyrical content of The Human League’s 1981 hit Don’t You Want Me to just the essence:

“You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar.”

Genius. Midway into the song Susan Ann Sulley does her part in the duet with Philip Oakey;

“I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true. I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. I guess it’s just what I must do.”

This is so profound and yet mysterious, future generations will certainly write songs about this version. Enjoy.
