on repeat: "Let's Talk About Sex"

just because you talked about it once
doesn't mean you don't need to talk about

sex again... so, let's talk about sex.

and a free download of salt-n-pepa's
controversial track, "let's talk about sex"

Salt-N-Pepa: "Let's Talk About Sex"

	Salt-N-Pepa - Let's Talk About Sex (Original Recipe Club Mix)
	Found at skreemr.org

been on the road, again. sorry
for the delay. i've been waiting
to put this one up here.

...

CHORUS:
Let's talk about sex, baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex [4x]

Let's talk about sex for now
to the people at home or in the crowd
It keeps coming up anyhow
Don't decoy, avoid, or make void the topic
Cuz that ain't gonna stop it
Now we talk about sex on the radio and video shows
Many will know anything goes
Let's tell it how it is, and how it could be
How it was, and of course, how it should be
Those who think it's dirty have a choice
Pick up the needle, press pause, or turn the radio off
Will that stop us, Pep?
I doubt it
All right then, come on, Spin

[CHORUS]

Hot to trot, make any man's eyes pop
She use what she got to get whatever she don't got
Fellas drool like fools, but then again they're only human
The chick was a hit because her body was boomin'
Gold, pearls, rubies, crazy diamonds
Nothin' she wore was ever common
Her dates heads of state, men of taste
Lawyers, doctors, no one was too great for her to get with
Or even mess with, the Pres she says was next on her list
And believe me, you, it's as good as true
There ain't a man alive that she couldn't get next to
She had it all in the bag, so she should have been glad
But she was mad and sad and feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the things that she never had
No love, just sex, followed next with a check and a note
That last night was dope

Let's talk about sex, baby (sing it)
Let's talk about you and me (sing it, sing it)
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex (come on)
Let's talk about sex (do it)
Let's talk about sex (uh-huh)
Let's talk about sex

Ladies, all the ladies, louder now, help me out
Come on, all the ladies - let's talk about sex, alright
[repeat]

(Yo, Pep, I don't think they're gonna play this on the radio
And why not? Everybody has sex
I mean, everybody should be makin' love
Come on, how many guys you know make love?)

[CHORUS]

...

this song has stuck with me since i was in
kindergarten, 1991, the year of its release,
to be precise. i remember singing it with my
friends while walking to school, dancing to the
video in my living room, and blasting it
on the three disc cd player in my bedroom.

despite knowing all the words, and playing
it on repeat multiple times, it really didn't
mean much to me at that point in time. today
it's a little different, as you can imagine.

i found this song especially fitting
for a recent conversation i found myself
in the midst of the other day. leaning
against my car was my not-so-stranger boy,
listening to me say, "sex is serious,"
and him saying something to the effect of,
"sex is always better when both people can
talk about it."

so, yes, salt 'n' pepa, let's talk about sex.
because not-so-stranger boy has a point,
and i know i was right too.

that being said, i am donating this song
to anyone who is talking around, not talking
about, or trying to figure out how and when
to talk about sex. download this gem,
burn a cd or throw it on your i(whatever),
and hit play when your not-so-stranger boy/girl
is in the car with you. it will be the perfect
icebreaker for any and all conversations
about sex. really tricky parents could even
use it to initiate the dreaded sex talk...
imagine that.

Audra Mae: "The River"

	"The River"
	Found at skreemr.org

this track so worked for me the other night.
as usual, i was sitting in my car.
and it made a lot of sense.

...

I've done a bad thing it's okay
I'm going down to the river today
And the river's gonna wash my sins away
Til I'm born again tomorrow
Oh to get over my head
Make me forget my sorrow

I'm going down to the river alone
Don't tell mama and daddy I'm gone
And if they cry when I don't come home
Just lie and tell them I'm funnin'
Water get out of my eyes
Into the river wide I'm runnin'

And I can't swim
But it's alright
'Cause all my sin would drag me down even if I could
And if it weren't for him and the love that night
I'd be living for the light like a good girl should
'Cause a good girl should

This old town'll have my skin
I can't speak the trouble I'm in
So if I don't come back again
Go lie beneath the willow
'Cause where I carved my name
Is where my soul will remain
And I'll still know

Lord, and I can't swim
But it's alright
'Cause all my sin would drag me down even if I could
And if it weren't for him and the love that night
I'd be living for the light like a good girl should
'Cause a good girl should

When I meet the Lord so kind
I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind
And I'll tell him I wanna know why oh why
When he's so damn forgivin'
My daddy won't look in my eyes
Mama knows the lies I'm living

Oh, I can't swim
But it's alright
'Cause all my sin would drag me down even if I could
And if it weren't for him and the love that night
I'd be living for the light like a good girl should
'Cause a good girl should

sex and religion and love and such.
what a mess.

i was about to write that not being religious
makes freelurving much simpler pour moi,
but it doesn't. i'm not changing my nonreligiousness,
just letting my mind meander through the pews
momentarily.

i'm still plagued by feelings of guilt and regret,
the way any god fearing person should be, but
eventually am able to sort them out with the
party(ies) involved, rather than talking to god about it.
and after the sorting out takes place, i may still be hard
on myself about whatever may have happened, but am
typically able to walk away with a huge smile
on my face and am much more at ease.

like i said. sex, love, and religion... a mess.
(if that threesome offends anyone reading,
you should stay away from threesomes all together)

and, a shout out to philly's 88.5 FM
for playing this song while i was driving to work
last fall... otherwise i don't think i'd be listening
to audra mae.

The Cribs: "Men's Needs (CSS remix)"

two in one special today!
the cribs original from their
"men's needs, women's needs, whatever" album
AND the CSS remix of this wonderful track,
for your listening, mix cd'ing, and dancing pleasure

...

have you noticed,
i've never been impressed by your friends
from new york and london?
i'll level accusations like the press
until you realize
that you've dressed yourself in tatters

because the man's needs, man's needs
are full of greed, full of greed
a man's needs, man's needs are lost on me

a man's needs, man's needs
are full of greed, full of greed
a man's needs

i'm not bothered
what you say or how you dress
i'm a mess, so you've always seemed inviting
but really
this all seems quite meaningless and i remember
that you never seem to see the fact that

man's needs, man's needs
are full of greed, full of greed
a man's needs, man's needs are lost on me

a girl's needs, girl's needs
just don't agree don't agree
with man's needs

have you noticed,
i've never been impressed by your friends
from new york and london?
but really
this all seems quite meaningless and i remember
that you never seem to see the excuse that

man's needs, man's needs
are full of greed, full of greed
a man's needs, man's needs are lost on me

you say your man's needs, man's needs
have lots on me
i don't agree
a man's needs
oh oh oh oh

...

girls are greedy too. not that any guy would
argue with this, but it's too often scripted in
relationships that the guy just wants to have
sex and the girl wants a relationship.
it doesn't always work this way.
the most true statment in this song, is right
in the middle, that girl's needs just don't
agree with man's needs (and vice versa).

girls, tell me if i am wrong. boys, take note.

Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS): "Music is My Hot, Hot Sex"

From all the drugs the one I like more is music
From all the junks the one I need more is music
From all the boys the one I take home is music
From all the ladies, the one I kiss is music
Music is my boyfriend
Music is my girlfriend
Music is my dead end
Music's my imaginary friend
Music is my brother
Music is my great grand daughter
Music is my sister
Music is my favorite mistress
From all the shit the one I gotta buy is music
From all the jobs the one I choose is music
From all the drinks I get drunk of music
From all the bitches the one I wanna be is music
Music is my beach house
Music is my hometown
Music is my king size bed
Music's where I meet my friends
Music is my hot hot bath
Music is my hot hot sex
Music is my backrub
My music is where I'd like you to touch

Claro que sim, fui escoteira mirim
direto da escola não não ia cheirar cola
nem basquete, pebolim
o que eu gosto não é de graça
o que eu faço não é faaarsaaa
tem guitarra, bateria, computador saindo som
alguns dizem que é mais alto que um furacão

Perto dele eu podia sentir
saía de seu olho e chegava em mim
sentada do seu lado eu queria encostar
faria o Tigela até o sol raiar
debaixo do lençol ele gemia em ré bemol
fiquei tensa, mas tava tudo bem
tudo bem
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também
ele é fodão mas eu sei que eu sou também

...

music never sounded so dirty.
for anyone who really loves music,
this can be your love song to it.
wonderfully danceable as well.
