What if Your Girlfriend was Gone?

Let’s face it: love songs are typically full of swooning serenades and tearful promises. But leave it to Carla Ulbrich to throw a comedic wrench into the well-oiled machinery of romance with her song, “What If Your Girlfriend Was Gone?”

Picture this: you’re cozying up to your favorite love ballad, all hearts and roses, when suddenly, Carla Ulbrich swoops in with a tune that feels like the musical equivalent of an impromptu stand-up routine. The premise of the song is simple yet brilliant: what if your girlfriend—yes, that one who’s usually more organized than Marie Kondo and keeps you on a strict schedule—just up and disappeared?

Ulbrich’s genius lies in her ability to take a potentially melancholic scenario and spin it into a comedic masterpiece. The lyrics explore the chaos that would ensue if your girlfriend vanished into thin air. Imagine trying to find your socks without her meticulous folding technique or discovering that your favorite meals were actually her culinary masterpieces and not just “something you eat to survive.”

The song is a clever reminder of the often-overlooked daily miracles of relationships. You might laugh at the idea of not having your significant other around, but deep down, you know you’d be lost without their quirky habits. Ulbrich’s wit is sharp, her melodies are catchy, and her ability to turn a typical love song on its head is nothing short of magical.
