A douche might solve your problems…

Well, I’d have to say “Gigantic” by The Pixies. 😃 If only…

I’d ask my girlfriend, but I’m afraid she’ll say “Fakin’ It” by Simon and Garfunkel.

For awhile there it was the Stones’ version of “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg,” but lately it’s been Van Morrison’s “Brown-Eyed Girl,” if you catch my meaning.

_I can’t believe that love has lost its glamour  
That passion is really passé—  
If gender is just a term in grammar,  
How can I ever find my way  
Since I’m a stranger here myself?_

Edith Piaf’s “Non, je ne regrette rien.”  
Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien  
Ni Le Bien Qu’on M’a Fait, Ni Le Mal  
Tout Ca M’est Bien Egal  
Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien  
(I don’t regret a thing… neither the good, nor the bad, it’s all equal…)

Well, it used to be:

_“Can’t you see? Can’t you see?  
What this woman, Lord, ‘s been doin’ to me.”_

Now it’s more like Chipmonk Love.

Without the bestiality, I mean.

_Frozen_ by Madonna

Or, from _Baker, Baker_ by Tori Amos:

\*…He says that behind my eyes I’m hiding;  
and he tells me I pushed him away,  
that my heart’s been hard to find…

I ran from him, in all kinds of ways,  
Guess it was his turn, this time…\*

Sounds more like _Helplessly Hoping_ to me.

Well, someone took NIN _Closer_ already, so I’ll go with

_A Little Less Conversation_ (and a lot more action) - Elvis Presley / JXL

Naw, not quite _Helplessly Hoping_. But, Jimmy Buffet’s cover of Cat Steven’s _Another Saturday Night_ would be more realistic than _Let’s Get It On_ probably, knowing my luck ☹
