Linger
Abed tries to speed things up.
At the start of the study group's second year at Greendale Community College, Jeff and Britta were. At the time they were competing in a "love" competition due to unexpected fallout from the previous semesters Tranny Dance. Abed was unaware of this and hoped to facilitate the "romance" by organizing a surprise wedding. He was assisted by Leonard, The Greendale Gooffaws and an Irish singer he hired who sang a revised version of the "The Cranberries" hit song "Linger". The song was first heard in the Season Two episode "Anthropology 101."

Britta's Marrying Jeffrey Winger

Lyrics:


Now they're in so deep
You know she's such a fool for him
She's got a ring around her finger ah-ah-ah
And Abed hired and Irish singer
Britta's marrying
Britta's marrying
Britta's marrying Jeffrey Winger!


The original song[]

Lyrics:


If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.

I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
It's tearing me apart, It's ruining everything.

I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh, I thought the world of you.
I thought nothing could go wrong,
But I was wrong. I was wrong.
If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.

But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

And I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?
