417. "Are You That Somebody?" Aaliyah

"Are You That Somebody?"
Aaliyah
"Dr. Doolittle" Soundtrack
1998

Three things:

1. Albums without a song in my Top 500 Songs of All Time Countdown: Highway 51 Revisited by Bob Dylan, Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, What's Going On by Marvin Gaye. But, yeah, the soundtrack to the Eddie Murphy cinematic masterpiece Dr. Doolittle is all up on here.

2. 0.03 per cent of the reason I moved to Virginia was so that, like Timbaland in this song, I could say was "the man from the big V-A". It wasn't a big reason, but wasn't NOT a reason.

3. Knowing that the late Aaliyah dated R. Kelly when she was like 15 or something, and knowing now what we know about R. Kelly... I mean, there's really no nice way to say it, but there's a 100 percent chance Aaliyah got peed on at least once.
