10. Rupert Holmes - Escape (The Piña Colada Song)

Guardians of the Galaxy - Awesome Mix Vol. 1 track 10

[maharishikashyap]

I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady, and she said,
*"ah shit here we go again"*

[blueberrypancake]

So what are we learning?

Communication is key

[isa]

Am I the only one who suddenly gets random urges to listen to this song like out of nowhere after forgetting it even exists

[Bear-Shark]

I like how the lyrics of the song bait you into thinking it's going to be about cheating but takes a wholesome turn at the end.

Edit: Ok maybe not so wholesome, they were ready to cheat on each other. But through the conflict maybe they could see eye to eye with each other in the end.

[aidanvtine]

I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady, and she said,
“You couldn’t live with your own failure where did that bring you, back to me.”

[Fluxxyy]

I remember slippin' jimmy sing this song and searched for it and it's my fav. Now.

[kieranbrechtel]

Wife: You aren't supposed to be here.


Husband: Neither should you.

[Tino-hdml]

I remember the day that song came on the radio for the first time and the smile it put on my face. One of the few advantages of being old lol ., ..

If you ignore the fact that they both attempted to cheat, then this song has a deep meaning. It's trying to say that people have exactly what they want right in front of them, but they have yet to realize it. If the two of them had tried to talk to each other, they would have been able to make each other happy.

[maxhess]

Nothing solves a relationship like cheating on each other with each other.

[aspirinazlynn]

Ladies, get you a man that will cheat on you with you

[andrewvanderhoof]

"Im not nuch into health foods, I am into champagne" is one of the best lyrics ever written.

[SpidermanUnstoppable]

This is the perfect song to listen to while flying through space

[nkumaze]

For over 30yrs I had never paid attention to the lyrics in this song, I just enjoyed the chorus till today 🤣🤣I died, what a story line!

[leanderleander]

The moral of this song is... communicate with your significant other about your likes, feelings, wants and needs then with an open mind listen to theirs.

[gulraizkhan]

Who's listening in October 2024 ?

[maxxam]

Fun Fact: this song was featured in the hit show _Dial S for Saul, _ which is a spinoff of _Little Malcolm at the Center, _ with Bryan Calrson who plays the iconic character Walt Heisenburger.

“So this song is about a man having an affair?”
Well yes, but actually no

[txrxn__]

I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin'
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read


If you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like makin' love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape


I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kinda mean
But me and my old lady
Had fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad


Yes, I like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape


So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh, it's you"
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew-"


"That you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape"


If you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like making love at
