Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from MAGIC!:
Rude
Length: 3:44
Release: 2014
Opening Lyrics:
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
‘Cause I know that you’re an old fashioned man
Yeah (yeah)
Say yes, say yes, ’cause I need to know
You say I’ll never get your blessin’ ’til the day I die
“Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no”
Don’t you know I’m human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
