When we were growing up (and I've known her since we were 4-years-old), Cecilia always told me that she was going to marry a Korean guy. I'm not sure when her Korean guy obsession began, but all throughout high school and college, she only dated Korean guys.
Therefore, you can only imagine my complete surprise when I finally met Chris, who is whiter than white and blonder than blonde!!! Chris was a computer nerd who loved heavy metal... and XTC --- yeah, I'm not sure how that combo of musical interests came about either. Oh, and Cecilia hated XTC for some reason.
Cecilia would always joke about how she never saw it coming that she would end up with someone like Chris... so one day, I thought I would get clever and respond with: "Well, it looks like someone was Making Plans for Nigel... I mean Chris... I mean Nigel..." :-D
I found it to be hilarious, but she was so sick of listening to XTC that I seriously thought she was going to punch me in the face...
I'm including another one of my favorites by them called "Senses Working Overtime" below the lyrics...
We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs this helping hand
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy
He must be happy, in his world
We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy
He must be happy, in his world
Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel
