I didn't think the song was about sex (which is weird for me, as I see sex in everything, practically) (which can make Open House attendance at my
Kid's high school a bit awkward), I just thought the sexy, synthy bassline fit in with my
Blogging from A to Z Challenge 2012 theme of songs I find passionate/darkly romantic/simply romantic/just plain dark/sexy woof! My Dear Friend Nikki noted that, in fact, all the titular "She" actually wants is more nookie (for which I can't say I blame the gal). However, I feel I must point out in rebuttal that, in the video (click on song title to view), what the chick's got hanging from her bedroom wall are
shoes, which just goes to show that Duran-squared (one of my fave bands in the whole wide world) have a deeper understanding of the feminine mind than I thought.
I'm not one for sappy, sentimental ballads, but the sweet, loving longing in this tune disarms my natural defenses against
schmaltz, every time I hear it. (And no,
She Bop will not be putting in an appearance when we get to "S" - it'd just be too damned obvious.)
The opening lyrics of this song summarize my essential view of love -
"It's easy to fall in love, when you fall in love, you know you're done." Amen, Brother. A-men. (Also;
Peter Hayes =
le woof!!!) ::swoons::
