and it made me think... "wasn't there another song like this?"
I was thinking of this song.
It's not exactly the same; and I'm pretty sure Timberlake wasn't basing his song on Ella's. But just to be sure, I looked up the origin of the phrase "cry me a river".
Turns out they were both taking it from this song which, arguably, was alluding to Alice in Wonderland.
Ella Fitzgerald seems to have been covering it.
This all reminded me of this song, which was introduced to me by Mr. Antcliff.
I've posted that one before, but it's just an excellent cover of a(n other) Justin Timberlake song.
And now my eggs are boiling, so it's time for breakfast :)
Oh! Oh! ETA:
I like this song:
