Lessons From 80’s Rock Ballads
ROCK BALLAD: All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You
BY: Heart
LESSON:
Are you and your significant other having trouble conceiving? Save yourself the money and hassle of taking various infertility treatments. Why not have unprotected sex with a random (and more virile) hitchhiker instead? Have a wild night of animal sex, send him packing the next day and get your preggers on for the next 9 months. No consequences, no commitments, and for the cost of one night at a cheap motel you’ll be popping out a little tike for you and your husband to call your own!

That's Not My Name! That's Not My Name!
You know how sometimes there's a song that bounces around your head and it just won't stop?
[just nod and pretend you do]
Today that song is That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings (just shut up and let me go, Ting Tings! haha...ha..ha.. ehhhh.. I crack myself up).
[oh, and thanks jess for pointing me theTing Ting way]

Anyway, I have surrendered to the song's irrepressible brain bounciness. My first child or next pet (whichever comes first.. I'm hoping for the latter) will now be named Mary Jho-Leesa (its totally Pinoy!).

Ask Me About Astley...
This is probably the best literal video I've ever seen...
Of course that could just be because I'm kind of inlove with Rick Astley. His 80's hipster dance moves are totally mesmerizing! Plus his song saved me from moments of ackward silence with a guy I used to go out with. Every time there was a lull in our conversations, one of us would just start singing "Never gonna give you up...".
As a suppliment to this post, here's a link to a Rick Roll howto. Not that I get Rick Rolling at all. Why would you need to trick anyone into watching any of Rick's awsome videos?? I personally seek them out myself..

What is love??
It being almost valentine's and all, here are a few love lessons we should all learn, courtesy of haddaway:
What is love?
In this song, Haddaway attempts to answer the age old question, “What is love?”. The lyrics, while seemingly simple and trite to the point of being inane, actually provide deep insight to love and human nature... let’s examine some of the lyrics...
What is love? [ a statement of the question]
Baby don’t hurt me don’t hurt me no more
[the first word of this line is used to remind us that, when faced with love, we are all infants in our helplessness and innocence. This line is purposely made colloquial to underscore one of the contradictions of love: that it is accessible to the masses, that it can be in the everyday, and yet it’s manifestations are still quite extraordinary] .
Baby don’t hurt me don’t hurt me no more
[A repetition of the previous line for emphasis]
What is love Yeah
[this directs us back to the question and invites us to once more ponder upon it]
Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong
Gimme a sign
[This verse is designed to convey the confusion that love brings about. Here we are left to guess who the singer is addressing, is it a lover? God? Himself? Or is he addressing love itself? The interpretation is left up to us.
The third line of the verse illustrates the futility of searching for black and white morality in matters of love. To be in love is to be in the gray area between right and wrong.
In the fourth line, the author uses the word “Gimme” which is a portmanteau of “give” and “me”, this is symbolic of the power of love to unite previously distinct objects and people. ]
...
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
[ This verse signifies the singer’s surrender to love. He is left without words and resorts to primal utterances of awe and joy. It should also be noted that “Whoa” is used here as a homophone of “woe” which denotes that love is a double edged sword, it inspires wonder but at the same time brings about unspeakable misery. This verse also conveys the final message of the song which is that love cannot be described in words, it must just be experienced and embraced]
