We all know that with B'OB having his penis inserted in the proverbial PJ pie, the next single will be SBM.

Guys, come on, I'm not sure I'd call SW the very best song on this album, but it's hardly a ridiculous thought. It's definitely up there.

If it wasn't good enough to go on ITW, it really shouldn't be on LB.

It doesn't even have a cool bridge to look forward to.

It has the best bridge on the album.

Where did you even hear it was eligible for ITW? Pointless comment to make if it was written afterwards.

I agree, and disagree with you.

I think it's one of the worst songs on the album. It's an average, at best, EV solo number.

It really doesn't. LTRP probably has the best bridge.
And have you read the lyrics? Fits more with ITW than LB really.

To me, it sounds just like something off ITW. I haven't paid much attention to the lyrics yet, but the music is like a carbon copy of ITW.
