…what would it be?  
There are some obvious ones:  
“Beat It”  
“Like a Virgin”  
“Dancing in The Sheets”  
“The Freaks Come Out at Night”  
“Shook Me All Night Long”

I think mine would have to be “If I Could Turn back Time”. Much as I loathe Cher, the old sex life hasn’t gotten back to where it was pre-baby.

Do tell, please.

I think “Beat It” pretty much sums it up for me.

Sadly, mine would be, “Ah yes, I Remember it well”

And this, if I am correct, is my 100th post. Woo Hoo!

My love life is best summed up by two classic songs. The first is by Barnes and Barnes. The second is a master piece by Ogden Edsl. The titles are-

Fish Heads

Dead Puppies
