Me and Miss Jones (we got a thing going on).

Every time I hear anyone on the show (especially Rigsby) say "Oh, Miss Jones", I can't help but sing the "Me and Mrs Jones" song in my head by Hall and Oats:

#....Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on...#

I know she's a "Miss" and the song's about a "Mrs", but I don't let that stop me.
And I don't really find her attractive, I'm sorry to say (what is it with crap 70's hair? - it even makes Sandra look unattractive, and I reckon she'd be a right looker if she got a makeover done thesedays), but I don't let that stop me either.

#....Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on...#

Heh heh. When I was little I used to think that the song hads been written about Rigsby and Miss Jones, you know how you think everything's connected when you're a kid.

It's a Billy Paul song originally though Hall and Oates may have covered it.

How about that song, "Have you met Miss Jones?"
