     Listen to me; I have a degree in this song. Take a quick listen to the lyrics: she's singing about how she's "a little bit of everything all rolled into one", so she's a bitch, she's a lover, a child, a mother, a sinner, a saint... contradiction this and additional thingamafuck that. All in random order, but bitch comes first. So, she gets to name the song "Bitch", and it gets shock value, which gives it popularity. What a smart manager that girl has... I wish he was MY manager...

     That must work fine if the phone uses the Thingy standards, but where we are it doesn't... We have to run a Whatchamadoodle to the junction box and then sing into the phone while playing "Mississppi Queen" using DTMF... The hopping up and down while sniffing the thingamafuck is optional...
