ok then how about Ric Okasek’s incredibly skeevy “I don’t wanna hold her down, don’t wanna break her crown” in Let’s Go?
or “You were the first/You’ll be the last” from Cheap Trick’s The Flame?
ok maybe I’m not too good at this.
I thought of this thread again after watching the Office episode “Dinner Party”:
You took me by the hand
Made me a man
That one night
You made everything all right
I didn’t even know they had a song other than “It Falls Apart”.
Proclaimers, “Jean”:
I’d never been lucky with girls I confess
Don’t know who to blame for my lack of success
'Cause even with ones up the back of a bus
There was always the risk of a slap in the puss
But Jean, Oh Jean, You let me get lucky with you
Oh Jean, Oh Jean, You let me get lucky with you
The Divine Comedy, “To Die A Virgin”
I know this is four years old, but this song isn’t about losing ones virginity. It’s about the impact of the Beatles on music. Specifically on New Yeart’s Eve 1963.
Does this count?
I had a Subaru Brat.
Wow, that song makes “That Summer” seem like a work of heart-breaking genius.
“Next” by Jacques Brel is about someone losing their virginity in a mobile army whorehouse and the whole traumatic experience scarring him for life.
Me, I really would have liked
A little bit of tenderness
Maybe a word, a smile
An hour of happiness
Oh, it wasn’t so tragic
The high heavens didn’t fall
But how much of that time
I hated being there at all
Who’s on first?
