May 02, 2016

The internet is abuzz with curiosity over a lyric off of Beyoncé's new visual album, Lemonade.
The album, which largely focuses on Beyoncé and Jay Z's relationship and Jay Z's infidelity, features some very honest lyrics, particularly in the song "Sorry". In it, Beyoncé sings, "He only want me when I'm not there / He better call Becky with the good hair."
Just who is "Becky with the good hair"? There is speculation out there of course, but we may never know.
So for today's Coffee Break, let's listen to songs with veiled references just like this.
And thanks to our buddy Jay Gabler for the idea!
Songs played
