Slider is a kind of himbo who says “Can I watch Kitchen nightmare please?” to the TV voice assistant and continues to fail until Maverick comes in, grabs his remote, and screams “KITCHEN NIGHTMARE ON HULU” into it

Old Slimav playing ACNH during quarantine be like

Slider: Look Mav, I built an open bakery in my rose garden! Oh, Dotty is giving me a peach? What a nice little girl she is! <3

Maverick: Yeah hang on a second baby, I’m building a death trap for Brad and Ice ‘cause the last time we played together they pushed me to a pitfall and tortured me with nets until I figured out how to escape

Mav is a kind of guy that gets so drunk he dances to Uptown Funk like a car dealership inflatable thing and breaks his back

And Slider is a kind of husband who never stops teasing him about it but stays close to his idiot best partner, sitting on the floor and watching Kitchen Nightmares together while Maverick is sprawling on the couch and sleepy on the painkiller

(He eventually drags Slider in his arms to take a cozy nap together, but that’s another story.)

In my very personal opinion, New Order’s Tutti Frutti and People on the High Line are singing about the same relationship from different perspectives. And it really embodies Slimav.

Tutti Frutti portrays a man’s struggle with fitting in and catching up, whilst seeking comfort in familiarity of his lover (his Tutti Frutti).

“You’ve got me where it hurts, but I don’t really care; ‘cause I know I’m okay whenever you’re there.”

Whilst People on the High Line is the other way round, where he tries to comfort while craving love from his lover.

“I need your love, I want it now…I’ll keep trying, it’s gonna be alright. This time we’ll get it right.”

In terms of passion, this song feels more “passionate”—he is actively seeking affection while Tutti Frutti portrays a more passive, somewhat more stable comfort in an established/back-and-forth relationship.

There are unique portrayals of “high” in both songs that makes me think how beautiful they both are (and how you all should listen to New Order. NOW.)

“You take me to a place where I always wanna go. You always make me high, whenever I feel low.” - Tutti Frutti

“I’ll keep trying—I can’t get any higher. There’s nothing I desire.” - People on the High Line

The comparison I am trying to make is that Tutti Frutti has a sense of comfort, tranquility if you will, in a steady routine, whilst People on the High Line depicts his relationship as something that gets him a sense of sharp pleasure—an orgasm, a spike in his system, after he’s somehow earned his lover by “keeping trying”.

Another interesting thing about People on the High Line is its repeated usage of “it’s all going to be alright” as well as “I’ll keep trying” in the chorus—meaning he feels somewhat responsible for the state of his lover.

Tutti Frutti also has some interesting and conflicting elements of newness and fondness whenever he is with his Tutti Frutti; to him, his Tutti Frutti is the one who reminds him it’s okay to be himself whilst adding some spice to his life, whether it’s platonic, romantic, or sexual. This indicates he puts absolute trust in his Tutti Frutti—even though he is sometimes getting some ouches from his lover (judging by the tones of the lyrics, I’m assuming it’s more of a pesky teasing and bantering, rather than truly harmful acts or abuse).

That being said, I feel like Tutti Frutti perfectly sums Maverick’s affection, devotion, and unconditional trust towards Slider whereas People on the High Line portrays Slider’s (strong but not always so overt) attachment towards him.

Maverick is a ball of fire who mellows into Slider’s comforting presence and caring embrace. Slider is a vigilant pleaser who burns up with the spikes of love Maverick showers him with. And that’s how I like to imagine their relationship as.

Thank you for reading. I wrote this short essay instead of actually doing my readings for tomorrow’s social psychology classes.
