Yeah, so my friends wife is going over seas for a couple of months due to her job. Me being the Smart-Ass that I am, want to burn my friend a CD filled completely with nothing but songs about masturbation. Because let’s face it, he’s going to be doing a lot of it over the next couple of months. (Trust me, this littlle practical joke’s been a long time over due.) So anyway this is what I’ve got so far: “I touch myself” The Divinyls “She bop” Cindy lauper “Dancing with myself” Billy Idol?? (I think) That’s it! That’s all I got. Any more you all could add to the list would be greatly appreciated. 😃 ---

I think this has been done recently, but Greenday’s “Basket Case” would be an example. ---
