I can't believe nobody said tiramisu. Really? Surprising. A few quick matters of business: Martina, I actually do enjoy Modern Art quite a bit, just not Pollack and I'm glad you agree about him. Cardamone, fuck you and the Pats. O-Train, fuck the Yankees, but may Phil Rizzuto rest in peace. Michelle, cheese fries totally would have won if the question was drunk foods, or at least come in second behind pizza.
Today's question:
What is the all-time best unexpected love song? A song that you would never pick as a love song until one day for some reason you listened to the lyrics and went, "Oh my god, this is a love song?"
Yesterday's: O-Train and Nicole both made my mouth water, I've gotta give it to the two of them with a remarkably self-indulgent nod to Matty.
O-Train:
Bourbon Shrimp Flambe.
I've been making this recipe for years. The main ingredients are 1 lb shrimp, heavy cream, bourbon, butter and tomato paste. After cooking the shrimp in the butter, you add the bourbon and set it on fire. Any 100+ proof bourbon makes this lots of fun. Remove the shrimp, then reduce the cream and tomato paste until it's a really thick sauce. Add shrimp, lemon juice, and chives, and serve over wild rice or jasmine rice. Works even better if you drink bourbon while cooking this.
Nicole:
And to answer today's question: I once had this butterscotch brandy french toast at brunch that was orgasmic. I think it was at the fireplace in Brookline. It was amazing. Lick-your-sticky-fingers good. It doesn't matter what I write anyway, it's not like you're gonna pick it - you snob! ;)

Dog Shit - Wu Tang Clan
At first glance, you expect it to be a song about canine feces.
But what this song really is, is Russell Jones aka Old Dirty Bastard's touching ode about a female he is truly fascinated by.
Let's explore Big Baby Jesus' loving words.
"You're the type of bitch don't appreciate sheeeit
Never had sheeeit, so you won't be sheeeeit
That pussy there, couldn't satisfy a hair
on my body, treat me like a lolli and slob me down
*SLURP, SLURP* I'm Doo Doo Brown! Hehahahaha
Tossed salad, oh you in some shit now
Callin me a dog, well leave a dog alone
Cause nothin can stop me from buryin my bones
in the backyard, of someone else's house
Ol Dirt Dog, but I'm not dog out
Here comes Rover, sniffin at your ass
But pardon me bitch, as I shit on your grass
That means hoe, you been shit-ted on!
I'm not the first dog that's shitted on your lawn."
An outstanding example of a sentimental song, hidden under the rough layer of one of the true poets of the 90s, the dearly departed Dirt McGirt.
You are truly missed, Osirus.
(and yes, every name I used was one of ODB's many...the man had style.)
also, Ray, I think the next question could involve the opposite feeling. Sounds like a Love (or positive) Song and is absolutely misunderstood.
Devil - Stereophonics
This song sits in an album that doesn't say love, it says dirty porno sex. At first listen, the untrained listener would think the same about this song. If you give a shit about music and pay attention to lyrics, though, you'll find that this is the rock version of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful." Take a look at the second verse and chorus:
"Have I seen you somewhere baby? Oh no
I need another line
Are you living the dream there lady? Oh no
Can I tell you what's inside?
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star"
Great song by a great band on an otherwise mediocre album.
While this is a great question, I just don't have an answer that comes close to comparing to the brilliance of Nick's response. My initial thought was Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" but I just can't back that up.
And Ray, you are absolutely right - cheese fries definitely come second to pizza as the best drunk food.
"Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" -- Bloodhound Gang
While this song is end-on-end sexual innuendos, it's clear that Jimmy Pop truly has deep down feelings for someone special, and the song is really just his way of conveying his intentions. He just finds a creative way of saying so:
"Vulcanize the whoopee stick in the ham wallet,
Cattle prod the oyster ditch with the lap rocket,
Batter dip the cranny ax in the gut locker,
Retrofit the pudding hatch (ooh la la) with the boink swatter."
He goes on to say that he "doesn't want to beat around the bush" and continues after the chorus with:
"Marinate the nether rod in the squish mitten,
Power drill the yippee bog with the dude piston,
Pressure wash the quiver bone in the bitch wrinkle,
Cannonball the fiddle cove (ooh la la)with the pork steeple."
Jimmy's dedication to finding new and alternative ways to describe a single act clearly show how smitten he is, and how his heart yearns for her affection.
Honorable Mention:
Dave Chappelle (as R. Kelly) -- "Piss On You"
Dude...you shouldn't have left out how he wants to 'brazilian wax poetic.'
I fucking love that song.
I meant nothing by the omission, but left it out for the sake of space. I also left out "Put the you-know-what in the you-know-where...prontoooo!"
But coming from you Nick, that means a lot. I mean it.
If you want a true love song, it's gotta be "I'd Rather Fuck You" by Eazy-E. As he says, it's "one of them songs you can kick back and smoke a joint to and get real fucked up." I'd love to post every single lyric, but I'll leave you with the best bits.
"I'd rather fuck with you,
cause I like the way you scream my name
I know you like this dick,
cause you enjoy the pleasure and pain
Now I'm riding on this pussy here,
and I'm gonna stop
We can do it doggystyle,
and you can get on top
I'd rather fuck with you,
cause the other bitches wanna wine and dine
I better hurry up and bust a nut,
cause it's check out time,
She said she wanted me to eat the pussy,
well I think I'll pass
So get your ass up you funky bitch,
and wash your ass
I'd rather fuck you, yeah"
It's so romantic! Any guy that tells me he'd rather have sex with me than some other girl? Marry me now!
I have a really great answer if you ask the opposite question--> what song comes off as a love song but really isn't...and I have one name for you= akon.
Newwwwwww questiooooooooon....
