Dear DateSpacers,
If music be the food of love, get ready for a smörgåsbord! At DateSpaces.com, we don’t all love wine and women (at least not in that way), but none of us can get enough song. That’s why we’ve devoted this issue of Thursdates to music.
We’re not alone in our music obsession. For instance, last night’s American Idol winner, David Cook, won by 12 million (freaking) votes. 12 million! That’s more votes than there are people in any state in the US other than CA, TX, NY, FL, IL, and PA! Boom!
Anyway…so, since we’re all about love here at DateSpaces.com, we thought we’d provide you with a list of the Best Songs Ever To Get Your Freak On To. Then we realized that our list was dominated by tired Barry White and Marvin Gaye songs that nobody really gets it on to except characters in 1990s sitcoms who have their track lighting and stereos rigged to a Clapper. So, instead, we thought we’d get the ball rolling on a different list: The Worst Songs Ever to Get Your Freak On To, starting, perhaps, with “Get Your Freak On,” by Missy Elliot. Others include Cher’s “Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves,” Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” “MMMBop,” or anything Bette Midler.
But topping our list so far is the 1978 Jimmy Buffett classic: “Cheeseburger in Paradise.” We guarantee the first 15 seconds will have you smelling sunburned, overweight white guys and warm Corona. And don’t be fooled the line referring to “a big, warm bun and a huge hunk of meat” in the first verse. It’s all downhill from there–with the climax (couldn’t help it) at the I-Like-Mine-with-Lettuce-and-Tomato Chorus.
If you can think of a worse song to be “intimate” to, we’d love to hear it.
