Patty and Dr. Kay aren't real (probably)
I have started watching Black Mirror because of bandersnatchgate and yesterday I watched San Junipero, which primarily takes place in 1987
A lot of the plot happens in a club and one of the songs that played was called "Fake" by Alexander O'Neal
It's not a song I've heard before, and the lyrics immediately caught my attention (I only included the two verses and the chorus)
First verse:
Your name was Patty, but now it's Kay
Girl, you seem to change it every day
Your hair was long, but now it's short
You say "I got it cut!" but I don't see no hair upon the floor
Chorus:
You're a fake, baby
You can't conceal it
Know how I know?
'Cause I can feel it
You're a fake, baby
No rhyme or reason
'Cause in your mind
It's lying season
Second verse:
You had brown eyes, but now they're blue
And those false eyelashes that you're wearing, too, well
In bed this morning, you called me Clyde
Alex is the name that I go by
Now, both Patty Newby and Dr. Kay have been speculated to not actually exist, be foils for other characters, Mindy in disguise or the mind flayer's champions etc.
Your name was Patty, Your hair was long, You had brown eyes
but now it's Kay, but now it's short, but now they're blue
The odds of this song lining up with these characters unintentionally are so fucking slim. No way you create two characters with those exact names and descriptions accidentally. It's just too specific...
And I don't know about you guys but...
