Two of Them Kissed Last Night
Phoebe Buffay Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a girl. We'll call her Betty.
And a guy. Let's call him Neil.
Now, I can't stress this point too strongly,
This story isn't real.
(. . .)
Now our Neil must decide,
Who will be the girl that he casts aside.
Will Betty be the one who he loves truly,

Or will it be the one who we'll call... Lulie

He MUST decide, he MUST decide,
Even though I made him up he MUST decide...

Overall Meaning

Phoebe Buffay's song "Two of Them Kissed Last Night" is a humorous depiction of a love triangle. The lyrics begin with the introduction of two characters, Betty and Neil, with an emphasis on the fact that the story isn't real. This serves to remind the listener that the song is not to be taken seriously and is intended to be a lighthearted tale.

The main theme of the song is Neil's decision between two women, Betty and "Lulie." Phoebe stresses the importance of this decision, despite the fact that she made up the characters herself. The lyrics highlight the internal struggle Neil must face in choosing one woman over the other.

Will Betty be the one who he loves truly, Or will it be the one who we'll call... Lulie

He MUST decide, he MUST decide, Even though I made him up he MUST decide...
As the writer of this story, I'm putting pressure on Neil to make a decision even though he's not a real person. The plot demands it, so he MUST decide.

In reality, it hurts to tell someone that you love, then suddenly you say you need a break from them. You make certain decisions that you don't want anything to do with them anymore, however, whenever that person's path becomes clearer and his heart starts budding with fondness and hope, you eventually find a way to make them fall for you again. I love Rachel, she knew how Ross felt about her since high school. Ross deserves someone better ❤. In my point of view, she perfectly takes advantage of Ross's pure intentions.

Rachel is selfish. Theres this exact point. Trying to get him to cheat on Bonnie and even attempting to destroy his wedding.
Ross is also selfish. Continuously cheating on women but claiming that's a "Joey thing" (though Joey NEVER cheated when he was in a relationship)
Because Carol cheated on him Ross is CONSTANTLY worried about being cheated on and becomes a hypocrite when he cheats.
Meanwhile Rachel grew up with everything handed to her on a platter and wants what she wants despite the cost.
