“Say, what’s in this drink?”

That line has a far different meaning today than it did when the song was written.

Oh for pete's sake.

It is obvious in the song that she is looking for a reason to stay.

In fact a couple of times she finds an excuse to stay.

Date rape?

Please. Only a pervert would come up with that idea.

Her: “Say, what’s in this drink...”

It was probably just Gin.

I have been blessed with a son who takes his Christianity very seriously.

He and his girlfriend had gone up to our loft. Since they are both adults, I didn’t really have a problem with it. A few minutes later I needed to go upstairs and I glanced into the loft as I walked by.

They were seated, side by side, with a Bible across their laps, reading scripture to one another.

On my way back down, my son asked for the Netflix password so they could watch a movie. I gave it to them.

A bit later my curiosity got the best of me an I crept up to the loft area to see what they were watching...

cripes...it used to be open-toe shoes...

It used to be shiny patent leather shoes. Honestly, no one ever saw panties reflected in them.

And polka dot dresses.

Every Breath You Take

The Police

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, I’ll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I’ll be watching you

Oh, can’t you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I’ll be watching you

Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, “Baby, baby, please”

Oh, can’t you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I’ll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take, I’ll be watching you

Yesterday the sun rose. Rapes also occurred.

Coincidence?

In “Santa Baby,” she asks for a ring.

I see someone is way ahead of me.

Also, the line about fellas she hasn’t kissed means she’s been faithful, even if not engaged yet—or maybe even abstinent.

I agree about it not being a Christmas song. Starbucks plays both Christmas and not-Christmas. Ad nauseam. I wish they would play more “classical” every once in a while. Mozart’s Exultate Jubilate, or other things like that no one can dislike. Or something from The Messiah.

Depends on how old “baby” is.
But whatever, did they go off on a rant about rap music. That stuff, I would consider 1000x’s worse.
My personal just for fun favorite — “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”.

I wonder if Lady Gaga will agree to stop singing it with Tony Bennett.””

When she is singing with Tony, that is the only way I can listen to her.

However—Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood sang the same song for the opening part of the lighting of the Christmas tree in NYC last week. They did a very nice rendition.

I’ve heard her sing real songs, when she’s not trying to be Madonna on steroids, and she can actually sing very well.

(I’m not a fan of country music)

“Christmas is coming. Maybe you can ask Santa for a sense of humor.”

If you’re that averse to conversation, perhaps you’re in the wrong place.

“Yeah, but the line “Think of all the fun I’ve missed, Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissed” might make that ring harder to come by.”

They used to say, “Men seek the company of loose women, but they don’t marry them.”

“Mozart’s Exultate Jubilate, or other things like that no one can dislike. Or something from The Messiah.”

Considering that they donate to abortuaries, perhaps they’re afraid that their stores will spontaneously ignite if they play music like that.

“she can actually sing very well.”

Yes. Matter of fact, I just bought the Gaga/Bennet CD.

Then she had to come out in support of Rotten Cankles.

Now I can’t stand the sound of her voice.

I’m happy to engage in conversation.

I’ve been here for nearly 17 years. My current user name is not my first. My changing user names was the result of liberal idiots trying to out me at another site, not something Jim did..

I made a bill Cosby joke. You got on a high horse. If you’re that adverse to humor maybe you’re in the wrong place.

whine to the moderators. If you’re that much of a special snowflake.
