"Now its like murder she wrote "

Song title: Ignition (Remix)
Album: Chocolate Factory, 2003

Full Verse:
now its like murder she wrote
once i get you out them clothes

privacy is on the door

still they can hear you screamin more

girl im feelin what you feelin

no more hopin and wishin

im bout to take my key and stick it in the ignition

In this post I'd like to just ask our readers for a little help. Can anyone lend any insight into how, exactly, this situation (R. having sex and/or driving) is at all like Murder She Wrote? I'm not saying it's NOT like Murder She Wrote- of course I trust R. completely to write appropriate sexaphors/ sexilies- but I would like some ideas on how this comparison in particular works.

You weren't lyin' when you said we needed help from our readers. I've never seen a Murder, She Wrote in my life, though I've often admired it's mavericky use of the comma.

The closest I can come is that M,SW reminds me a lot of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, in that it stars Angela Lansbury.

And I DON'T think I need to spell out for you the sexaphorology of Bedknobs & Broomsticks.

Yes, the truth is, I have never seen an episode either. Maybe Angela Lansbury has lots of sex in cars on the show? Is that why it was so popular?

i think what r is going for here is that what he does with said woman once her clothing is removed is as much a mystery as murder she wrote is... huh? no.. hmm..

ok maybe he means to imply that he is going to attack that body (ie, figuratively murder (as in mess her up and go almost all night long) during the love making process))..

i honestly have no idea, but i really hope it has nothing to do with Angela Lansbury.

Diego, come on now. Angela Lansbury is totally, smokin' hot and you know as well as I do that R. would do her within minutes of meeting her. And then he'd write a song about it...and then (Eureka!) he's use the line "Like Murder she Wrote" and There you have it! R. Kelly put that line in because he totally boned Angela Lansbury!

I'm like whaaaa? The rest of the song is great - doesn't change the fact that he is a rapist/abuser/pedophile - but still the lyrics are ok.
