Speaker: Amy Winehouse
"They tried to make me go to rehab; I said "no, no, no.""
They tried to make me go to rehab; I said "no, no, no."
Context
This line is from the song "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse from the album Back to Black (2006).
Beehived and be-eyeshadowed soul singer Amy Winehouse won a truckload of Grammy awards for her album Back to Black, and she charts #26 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Music.
Sadly, she's remembered for dying of alcohol poisoning in 2011, and the method of her death recalls her biggest hit, "Rehab," in which she says that "they tried to make [her] go to rehab, but [she] said "no, no, no."
Where you've heard it
When Winehouse died, people across the world expressed their desire that the troubled singer had said "yes, yes, yes" to rehab, although she did try it in 2008.
The song has also been covered by many artists, such as Hot Chip.
Pretentious Factor
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.
Sometimes you need to accept help when people offer it, and sometimes you need to not butt into other people's lives. Take your pick.
