So this week's twisted mix tape is about one night stands or no strings attached relationships - hence my title!
1. Heart - All I wanna do is make love to you.
I loved this song when I was a child and it first came out. I never understood til a few years ago what the song was actually about - the twist at the end! As a fellow infertile (well, obviously her husband was) I can appreciate her feelings, but still not sure that makes what she did right!
2. Abba - Gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)
Come on, I think we all know what she wanted to do with the man (after midnight!). I love Abba, and this is classic Abba.
3. Bryan Adams - Run to you
Love a bit of rock and guitar, and here we have Bryan Adams explaining that while his Mrs is, you know, alright, he's got a bit of passion for this bit on the side he likes to go off to when he can!
4. Mis-teeq - One night stand
Now obviously with a title like this, it had to make this list! Now while I feel that anyone over the other side of the pond probably won't have heard of them, these girls were fab in the early-mid noughties, my favourite of theirs being Scandalous, but for this list, it had to be this song about girls going out 'on the pull' together.
5. Enrique Iglesias - Tonight (I'm lovin' you).
Okay, the album version isn't quite as polite, he definitely wants to do something else with you, but I thought I'd better put the clean version here. Basically he just sees you across the room and he's going to have you, alright?
So, there we go, another twisted mix tape Tuesday, already looking forward to compiling my list of 5 for next week!
Isn't it amazing how we can love songs so much and not really know what they're about for years? Love your list!
ReplyDeleteYeah, when I was young I definitely just sang along to many songs without knowing what they were on about at all, oh well, the innocence of youth!
DeleteI agree with Kristi...the song "Oh What A Night", I didn't know what it was about until just a few years ago when my husband told me!
ReplyDeleteAh! ABBA!! Yes...great one! Wished I had thought of it!
Great post!
Thank you :) I like "oh what a night" and am still innocent so I'll have to look into that! Abba are fab, can't beat a bit of them now and then!
DeleteI had Abba on my list too, but a different song, they were naughty.. This is a great list and with the exception of the obvious ones, it's amazing what you learn when you listen to the lyrics!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I think I'm actually going to have to start paying attention when I sing along to songs so I know what I'm actually saying! Abba could be very cheeky, especially Bjorn in Does Your Mother Know he he
DeleteBryan Adams and ABBA - my favorites!
