The topic at one of my favorite sites happened to be songs that were “ruint” by another person or relationship and of course, me being me – I had to chime in. For the first time, I actually decided to get in on the comments. Here’s the SHORT version. Long version coming later.

First time commenter, long time reader and always inspired to go in on some of ya’ll’s subjects.

But my “ruint’ song?

“If It Isn’t Love” by New Edition.

The fact that this was the song playing in my head during the end of my first college romance kinda stuck. So I made it my ex’s ringtone. Only problem was, my boys heard the song and then proceeded to put me through what we always will forever term an extended period of time in a car and somebody’s iPod is in the hands of another person and they play all the “relationship songs”: iPod Hell.

Imagine getting beaten down by not only New Edition, but Usher and Blackstreet and all the other sangin’ ass negroes for an extended period of time.

Of course I’m over it now and the song is now a karaoke staple for me and my boys. But from 2007-08, every time I heard Ralph T. begin, “I don’t love her…” I immediately wanted to sock him, Johnny Gill for doing backup and then the rest of the dudes for doing the bridge part.

Ugh. f*ckin’ Ronnie, Ricky, Johnny, Ralph & Mike…
