Replaceable: Rewriting Beyonce's Poetry

Beyonce has a number #1 hit with her searing, soaring ballad “Irreplaceable.” Unfortunately, the song fails to achieve classic status because of one clumsy couplet: “I could have another you in a minute/Matter fact, he’ll be here in a minute.” C’mon, B—rhyming “minute” with “minute!?” We’ve come to expect more from the poet who added the word “bootilicious” to the English language. (Maybe boyfriend Jay-Z refused to help her come up with a rhyme because he thought the song was about him.) Fortunately, the lyric is well, replaceable. Here are our suggested substitutes for varying the violating verse:

“I could have another you in a minute...”


  • “And I’ll find a publicist who can spin it”
  • “You have exceeded the allotted time limit”
  • “Matter fact, Lil’ Wayne’s already halfway up in it”
  • “See this booty? You can no longer rim it”
  • “Damn, I hope Jennifer Hudson doesn’t win it”
