“Keep on whispering in my ear. Tell me all the things that I want to hear cause it’s true. (That’s what I like) That’s what I like about you, (that’s what I like!)
I seriously thought it was gonna be Queen's "you're my best friend" because it's such a fitting song for them and such a cheeky choice in that context, even more so given the previous madney karaoke -- it's a cheery and lovely song, and part of the lyrics are overtly about being best friends, but it's actually not a song about platonic friends. Undoubtedly the elegant choice if you're kind of keeping your options open/your subtext on hand and ongoing for potential future developments.
but sure lmao you can skip all the subtlety and just go for a completely overt love song referencing some of the imagery of the party directly. sorry i was tryna be so subtle about it jeez
Wait did people not get from the video that they confirmed that the song buddie was singing it was What I like about you by the romantics I love that song and now I know the vision why cut it out like and tbh just by them matching and Tommy being there it was so bizarre but also so refreshing they went from showing how similar Tommy and Eddie were and then they show how different they are at least one of them supports Buck blindly
I'm a bit behind in my inbox...so by now people should definitely know that 'What I Like About You' was the buddie karaoke song. It was confirmed by a somewhat irritated Tim. It is now the buddie anthem. (LOL I kid... their anthem will be the song playing during their first kiss)
Tommy and Eddie's differences being shown after all their similarities is so LOUD anon. It is deliberate and oh so delicious. And so are all the scenes of bucktommy being connected to Eddie to some degree. As is all the 3rd person framing with Buck, Tommy, and Eddie. (Screaming plot device oh so loud)
Video here for those like me who had no clue about this song. Apparently it missed a lot of us in the UK, perhaps we were more into the New Romantics 😉

Released in 1980, the song was a decent hit in the US and a big hit in Australia. It became even more well-known after its use in Budweiser ads.
The singer on this track is the drummer of the band. It also has a great harmonica section.
