You know that song!?

Fuck, its like kind of lo-fi/chillout, but not really. Sometimes i'll hear it on the radio... It's got a girl singing/talking about like "looking up from her newspaper" and "dropping her umbrella"... or something. I think she says something about a coffee shop in new york, or something but I cant remember.

The chorus is just like her going "boop, de, boop" and humming....

GODDDDDD

it's in the vein of the human league and, like, Telepopmusik.

Actually it sounds like the same girl from "breathe" is in the above mentioned song.

suzanne vega "toms diner".

I am sitting

In the morning

At the diner

On the corner

I am waiting

At the counter

For the man

To pour the coffee

And he fills it

Only halfway

And before

I even argue

He is looking

Out the window

At somebody

Coming in

"It is always

Nice to see you"

Says the man

Behind the counter

To the woman

Who has come in

She is shaking

Her umbrella

And I look

The other way

As they are kissing

Their hellos

I'm pretending

Not to see them

And Instead

I pour the milk

I open

Up the paper

There's a story

Of an actor

Who had died

While he was drinking

He was no one

I had heard of

And I'm turning

To the horoscope

And looking

For the funnies

When I'm feeling

Someone watching me

And so

I raise my head

There's a woman

On the outside

Looking inside

Does she see me?

No she does not

Really see me

Cause she sees

Her own reflection

And I'm trying

Not to notice

That she's hitching

Up her skirt

And while she's

Straightening her stockings

Her hair

Is getting wet

Oh, this rain

It will continue

Through the morning

As I'm listening

To the bells

Of the cathedral

I am thinking

Of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic

Once upon a time

Before the rain began...

I finish up my coffee

It's time to catch the train

there's a track on the Jay-Z rap phenomenon mixtape that has the "drop it like it's hot" beat, a couple of verses from him, and suzanne vega singing the da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da part from "tom's diner" and the other bits

"it is always nice to see you," says the man behind the counter to the woman who has come in, she is shaking her umbrella and I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos. I'm pretending not to see them, and instead I pour the milk

so crazy over that beat... and then it segues into "jigga my nigga" over slim thug's "like a boss" beat

Uhhhhh does anyone remember when they used the chorus from this song for Dream of Jeannie commercials in the like the mid/late 90s? I was like 8 and Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite was pretty much all I could watch.

I remember. I remember that fondly.
