Let music be the guide to your style of romance
COLUMN: Without help of right tunes, forget having success in
love
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. A good portion of you guys are
already making your dinner reservations, buying your Ethel M
chocolate assortments and stockpiling your rubbers for one grand
night of romance and lust (you mindless hedonists). You’re probably
reading this at the barber shop right now, awaiting that trim
that’s gonna make your baby squirm with delight. Oh boy! Just one
more day and its sex, sex, sex all night! Yeah! You owe it to
yourself!
In the midst of all your preparation and last minute shopping,
you’ve forgotten something, the most important thing of what may be
your biggest (and maybe only) date of 1998. OK, it pains me greatly
to see you haven’t figured it out. C’mon, what really gets the
juices flowing, so to say? Candles? Nope. Rose petals on the bed?
Yeah right! Edible underwear? Not even that.
It’s music. Without the right music, you might as well stay home
and masturbate. That’s how important it is. But not everyone’s
tastes are the same. Well, I’ve offered several choices below. See
which one suits your style of love.
Some of you are looking for your typical romance songs. There
might be a little hand-holding, maybe some snuggling and possibly
even a kiss or two. But that’s where you and Ms. No Entry set the
limits. Fair enough, and I’m sure KOST-FM has a bunch of Chicago
and James Taylor songs geared up for your special night. Or, if
you’re into slow jams, 92.3 The Beat has got all the R. Kelly, Boyz
II Men and New Edition you need.
The rest of you horny animals out there are going to put those
flannel sheets to the test tomorrow night. You’re thinking, "You
know, Air Supply just can’t keep up with me when it comes to the
nasty. What can I put on that fits my rhythm? I need some sounds
that’s gonna tear the clothes right off my baby!" Well, for optimal
grinding, try:
1."Justify My Love," Madonna
2."Doin’ It," LL Cool J.
3."#1 Crush," Garbage
4."Freak Me Baby," Silk
5."Closer," Nine Inch Nails
6."D’yer Mak’er," Led Zeppelin
Aah yeeeah! Whoops! We almost forgot some foreplay tunes. This
is a necessity. Here are some choices for the both of you to
heighten the passion:
