I'm 60, and I have refused to watch My Girl to this day, because I learned how it ended back when it was released. Sometimes, spoilers are a good thing.

I wish I could tell you that the rest of the movie is worth it, but it really isn't.
In fact, it's how great the preceding 99% of the movie is that makes the ending many times more devastating than it otherwise would be!
BUT HE CAN'T SEE WITHOUT HIS GLASSES!
I'd like to point out the actual lyric is 'made of this', not 'made of these' as most people hear it.
That's such a shame since neither word rhymes with the word "disagree."
Anyway, if what you say is true, Annie Lennox sure has a weird way of pronouncing the word "this." She pronounces it EXACTLY like the word "these." Art is weird.
She says more "theeeeeeis", there's a hint of an "is" sound at the end of the word.
I don't get it. It's meant to rhyme with "disagree", and it's not like the song is interpreted differently if it's "these" vs "this".
it's called a slant rhyme, and it is the playground of the devil.
See: "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane" for another famous example of two words rhyming that don't.
Is that meant to rhyme?
not even a little bit, but that didn't stop Lenny Kravitz.
But "I am" and "hurricane" does rhyme
Controversial opinion: Marilyn Manson's version is superior.
Also he says these.
So, funny enough the actual lyric is "disagris", not "disagree" Annie Lennox just says it a little differently, but they both rhyme.
EXPLAINING THE JOKE FOR WHO DIDN'T GET IT: (movie spoilers)
spoiler
This is about the movie My Girl, which is about a hypocondriac girl and a boy (on the lower image) with tons of allergies, one of them being bees, who develop a friendship. At the movie, the girl drops her ring near a beehive, and the boy goes to look for it, only to get stung by bees and die due to his allergy.
I hope that's not the whole movie plot
Uhhhhhh.....
what did he say?
If I remember correctly they were asking if that was all to the plot (your spoiler). Modlog says he was banned, and this comment was collateral.
Wait, how did this manage to get him banned?
The modlogs says vote manipulation, I don't think this is related.
Hm, maybe.
he can’t see without his glasses!
When I first watched it, that part was hard to watch
Did you lose your glasses too?
Wow, Wickerman will never hit the same way again after reading this...
Too soon
Ate gravel and rocks.
And the seven cheese.
Everybody's looking for Sasquatch
Ah, thanks for reminding me that this movie gem exists. I'll just go to bed and stare at the ceiling for eight hours now.
What's the name of the movie?
My Girl
You guys talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl, my girl?
Because, you see, I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
One of my favorite songs for karaoke.
A briefcase full of bees ought to put a stop to this!
