He stood me up again
Again?
Mmh mmh
Well what's up with this guy, do you really like him that much?
Yes, honey, I love him, he is fine, he does alot of nice things for me
I know he use to do nice stuff for you, but what has he done for you
lately?
Used to be a time when you would pamper me
Usta brag about it all the time
Your friends seem to think that you're so peachy keen
But my friends say neglect is on your mind - Who's right?
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
Used to go to dinner almost every night
Dancin' 'til I thought I'd lose my breath
Now it seems your dancing feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death - Ain't that a shame?
What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
I never ask for more than I deserve
You know it's the truth
You seem to think you're God's gift to this earth
I'm tellin' you no way
You 'ought to be thankful for the little things
but little things are all you seem to give
You're always putting off what we could do today
Soap opera says
you've got one life to live
Who's right, who's wrong?
What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah...
Ooh ooh ooh yeah...
Get wit it...Uh
What have you done for me lately Ooh ooh ooh yeah
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
This is wild, I swear
The lyrics of Countdown's song "What Have You Done For Me Lately" portray a conversation between two women discussing a problematic relationship. The song delves into the theme of feeling neglected and unappreciated, highlighting the frustration and disappointment the singer experiences. The dialogue reveals that the man in question used to do nice things for her, but lately, he hasn't been making the same effort. The song questions his current actions and implies that his neglect may be indicative of an underlying issue in the relationship.
The lyrics convey the contrast between the past and the present. It emphasizes how things have changed from a time when the man would pamper her and brag about it to now, where neglect seems to be on his mind. The singer reflects on the loss of special moments they used to share, like going to dinner and dancing, which have now been replaced by laziness and a lack of effort. Despite expressing her love for him, she demands to know what he has done for her lately, implying that love alone cannot sustain a relationship without reciprocation.
The song highlights the singer's sense of self-worth and refusal to settle for less than she deserves. She asserts that she never asks for more than she deserves but believes that he takes her for granted. The song implies that she expects gratitude for even the smallest acts of kindness, suggesting that her partner struggles to meet these expectations. It concludes with the reminder that life is short, and procrastinating on improving the relationship only perpetuates the soap opera-like drama.

Rachel having a crush on Bill is just one of those things that makes the world feel good.
Gary Rasberry Jr.
Hopefully, Bill will be back soon on Cats/Countdown and he can bring his Strictly trophy as his mascot to tweak Rachel.

What did Sean say there?

Jimmy saying “oh my god you’ve got it so bad!” When she flubs up her words, he’s genuinely, pleasantly surprised it’s kinda adorable.
Andrew Sheridan
Ain't that the truth.
SirDistic
I love the fact that Rachel is friends with Joe Wilkenson in real life. They've gone on vacation together and genuinely enjoy each other's friendship.
James Blood
I have a feeling Joe Wilkenson is probably about as normal as it gets in real life lol.
