How Quickly You Forget
For everyone who asked yesterday - the holiday ball is next week, and yes, I did manage to arrange a date. Now, the question is, the best way to ...how shall we say it...charm her socks off, if no other items.
Ah, I love a challenge. And I do believe she is going to be a rather serious one. Mwah,hah,hah,hah. Pre-date planning, I've got covered. I'm really just dawdling over the perfect song.
I figured I'd bounce a few off you all. I'm not going for fake promises, or out-and-out schmaltz. Of course, I'm open to suggestions (and that is a major part of the attraction, I hope.) Ann, I'll track down the one you sent and see about that.
So, today's song was "Closer" by Dido, a ghost track on her Life For Rent album.
Lyrics /sample upon request.

On King Of The Hill, Boomhauer would seduce his women by playing Thank You by Dido. I love Dido but I wouldn't need music to get out of my party dress, I hate getting all trussed up. As far as the music though the ones that would do it for me would be Love by John Lennon(love is real, real is love...la la la) or, the one that would REALLY do it would be Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me by Mel Carter. *sigh* Just call me old school even though I'm 29. LOL
ps, I didn't forget. It's men who can't remember dates. :-p
I suggest NO machinations, no lines and no short-cuts. Just look her in the eye and say the first honest-to-God, baring-your-soul, rather-faint-than-admit-such-a-feeling-exists thing that comes to mind.
And if that fails, just tell her what we all like to hear on magical nights such as the one you all are about to share:
"Baby, your ass looks HOT in that dress!"
Well, for me, you can't go wrong with Joan Osborne. If Bobby played "At Last" or "These Arms of Mine", by Joan, I'd probably melt!
Honesty? You think whispering those magical words in her ear - "Baby, tie me up and treat me like a pony" - will work for her?
Whoo hoo!
(I do remember hearing she likes horses...)
It all comes back to that pesky mood music, doesn't it? We women can be a fickle bunch. Some like straight talk, others want to be... um... 'wooed', as it were.
But that line would work for me... LOL
Baby, tie me up and treat me like a pony
heheh, if that's what you're looking for perhaps a ball is not the best place for you... But then again, if you don't ask you will never know.
Hmmmmmmmmmm,If you use that, I think you might get tied up yourself, and not in a good way *LOL*
Baby, tie me up and treat me like a pony
You want her to feed you 30 gallons of water and 20 pounds of oats every day until you get colicky and need an enema? hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
*catches breath*
Guess that line wouldn't work on me.
Mike, nothing says: "Perfect date", like a gooood fuck!! ;-D
That is after all, what you are doing this for. (Don't deny it)
Hey, play her some ENYA!!
You're a cruel woman, Axe.
Mike, nothing says: "Perfect date", like a gooood fuck!! ;-D
Axe you make me laugh. Thank you.
I may be cruel, but I'm RIGHT!!
But Stilla, I think you do know her. Not real well, maybe, but you can go see her blog.
See, Mike, Stilagirly has the same idea as me! What does that tell you?
What the hell? I have that album and I don't recognize that song at all. Whatever, I'm not particularly enamered with Dido anyway. There's better stuff out there. Try Michael Buble (but that may be just me).
You have to let "See the Sun" run for a few minutes after it ends. "Closer" is sort of a continuation and a "hidden" track.
Someone who likes G&S must have good taste - I'll look into Buble.
Mike: I really need to learn not to read your blog first thing in the morning. You are simply outrageously funny and I seem to always have a mouth full of coffee when I start laughing. LMAO :)
How about "I knew I loved you" by Savage Garden.That always sets the right mood!!
Eliza xxx
You could always cut to the chase and play Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love"!
Also,I would like lyrics/sample of "Closer". When u get time of course!
Oh, Mike, no "Conventioneers"?
(Heh heh... kidding)
:-)
LOL Alex, you're great!
All I'm gonna say is you had better hope she is really horny, if you want that tactic to work.
allie: all Bon Jovi makes my clothes fall off. Do Bed of Roses or Lay your Hands on Me ... wow
Eliza, how about Darren Hayes, Insatiable.
Mikey, don't you find Dido boring?
This is getting to me, I miss so much the days I'm in my office and when I get back you guys have been having fun. This time difference is a right pain in the .....
Mikey, nu, where's that list you promised. I tagged you yonks ago.
lotsa luv ann xxxxxxx
Go with Van Morrison.
Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
’neath the cover of october skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one a’ more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can’t wait ’til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you’re never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can’t hide
Can I just have one a’ more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
One more moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can’t I just have one more dance with you my love
Laura Elizabeth, Buble did that song too. But I should look around for the Van Morrison version. (Goodness knows I have three different "I've Got You Under My Skin" versions and three more "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"...)
And Mike, yes all G&S lovers have great taste in music. It's innate.
Okay, I know this is totall eighties... or nineties... Hell, at this time of the morning, I can't remember which.
But you could always go for Peter Cetera's I Wanna Take Forever Tonight. Mood music without the commitment... ;)
Lmao, Alex you are one hell of a woman. Mikey, I am young and maybe that is why I still have faith in the male race.
Take her out to the ball, dance, make her laugh, and get to know her better than that pretty detective who has the wit of a Greek god.
Get her flowers nad dont expect anything, it is the first date.
And remember, her family is full of cops and her partner is a 6'4" hulk. He would rip you to pieces, after she castrated you.
Just warning you Mikey, I like you too much for you to die.
