I was listening to Emma Stone on Smartless trying to figure out how to explain who she is and don’t ask me how it lead down this insane path.

    I just assumed it meant more than sex during that time? Go to the 3 minute mark and she start singing her name around then.

      Doing a bit more research, it looks like the melody was created as a lullaby for her daughter. Obviously they repurposed it for this song, but kept in the mentions of Maya as a kind of Easter egg.

      Also, shockingly, I found that Minnie died from breast cancer at the age of 31. What a loss of a superb talent.

        Yeah, it’s sad and part of what makes me happy seeing this post. Knowing her daughter is a celebrity means Minnie will be remembered that much longer
