A couple of weeks ago, when I was stuck in morning traffic, I started flipping through satellite radio channels. By chance, I happened across the Eminem and Rhianna song “Love the Way You Lie.” She has a beautiful voice, and he can really add an edge to a song, but being a guy who is still mourning the break-up of the Ramones, it’s not really my style of music, so I had largely ignored the song in the past.
For the first time I listened to the lyrics, and there it was: Pow! To my surprise, Eminem actually uses the word “Drywall” in the lyrics of “Love the Way You Lie,” when he says, “… I’ll aim my fist at the drywall.”
