...gotta be overheated in that animal skin), she rejects like five different hitchhikers for no apparent reason (including a white boy who looks uncomfortable in his sheik outfit), and she ends the video without a ride, lonely and overdressed in the desert. The lyrics of the song wax poetic about needing a man who isn't just about his looks; he's gotta be able "to keep her warm in the middle of the night." But how exactly is she evaluating these hitchhikers? On their looks, right? She doesn't exactly speak to them. She just takes a quick glance...
...among my favorites. Here are two that I may or may not use this year, so feel free to borrow them if you'd like: "To actually mail in those occult fecal-blood tests that doctors always give you after checkups" and "to stop honking my rubber-bulb ear-wax-removal syringe during performances of Arnold Schoenberg's opera Moses und Aron." Personal resolutions may simply pertain to your own vocabulary. For 2000, Sarah Jessica Parker has pledged not to use the F word.

Other than the chantworthy tag lines of tracks like "Fuck Tha World" and "Watcha Wanna Do," there is little in the lyrics department worthy of the rewind button, although dwell on the bounce beat in the background and everything will be all right. A notable exception is "Drop It Like...
...Comdex has a few redeeming qualities, like getting to hear Bill Gates wax eloquent about programming on a Tandy personal computer over 20 years ago. When Microsoft struck a deal with the Tandy-owned Radio Shack chain, he was surprised to find some of the same people he'd dealt with back in the day. "Once you get to Tandy, you never leave," he observed to a gaggle of journos at a post-keynote shindig. Oh, but that was off the record, so you didn't hear it from me. MORE...
