Hey, Claude! I think I've worked out what your lyrics mean! Care to hear me out?

Claude

Huh? Sure! So, you managed to work through the labyrinth of my melodic poetry, then?
link
Annette
volume_up

I did! You were writing about yourself, right?
link
Annette
volume_up

About how you just keep moving forward, no matter what difficulties you encounter.

Annette

We've got this, we did it, now let's eat. That kind of thing. Am I right?

Claude
volume_up

Hey, that's pretty close for being completely wrong. It's actually not about me.
link
Claude
volume_up

It's about you, Annette. It's a song about your single-minded march through life.
link
Annette
volume_up

It's about...me?!
link
Claude
volume_up

Of course! You know, about how you mess up and make a big fuss about stuff sometimes, but you're always looking ahead and striving.
link
Claude
volume_up

I just wanted to capture your pleasant, fidgety, fussy nature in a song.
link
Annette
volume_up

Haha, I see! I'm flattered...I think? Actually, I can't really tell if you're saying something nice or not...
link
Claude
volume_up

Of course I'm saying something nice! I'm so happy I get to be friends with someone like you.

Claude
volume_up

Everyone's really uplifted by your cheerful attitude, your refusal to give up, and that boisterous nature of yours.

Annette
volume_up

Boisterous... That's definitely not a compliment. Still... Thank you, Claude.
link
Annette
volume_up

I'm really pleased that you thought so hard about me and wrote a neat song like that.
link
Annette
volume_up

You know, what this song really needs is a nice little dance to go with it...
link
Claude
volume_up

I couldn't agree more! And once you've finished, you should perform it for everyone. You're a fine dancer, after all!
link
Annette
volume_up

Nope! Not happening! I'm afraid my dances are not for public consumption.
link
Annette
volume_up

It will have to suffice that I let you see it.
link
Claude
volume_up

You drive a hard bargain. And if this performance is just for me, maybe I can coax you into letting me hear some of your other songs?
link
Annette
volume_up

I suppose there are a few others I could maybe share. Like my bear song! Or my dungeon song! Ooh! Or the waltz of the swamp beasties!
link
Claude
volume_up

I have never been more on board with anything in my entire life!
link
Annette
volume_up

Oh, they're all just silly songs... I don't know that they're anything worth being excited about.
link
Claude
volume_up

I'll be the judge of that, and I can tell just by their descriptions that I'm right to be excited.
link
Annette
volume_up

Well! I guess I have no choice. I'm making an exception just for you, Claude.
link
Claude
volume_up

I'm honored to be the exception, as well as your number one fan!
