i heart v-day
Actually, that's a lie. I vehemently don't love Valentine's Day — it's nearly always a disaster — but I did love the assignment to come up with a menu of romance-themed playlists. (Bravo to Heather, my fabulous editrix, for coming up with the perfect headline: "A cure for VD")
Here are a few favorites:
Love thyself: Songs for the single
"I Touch Myself" - the Divinyls: Perhaps the quintessential anthem of self-service in that it makes the solo act sound like a viable alternative to human contact - a way of life, even. There's a sassy dancefloor cover out by Kristy Kay & Lenny B if you're a gay cliché or go-go dancer.
"Dancing with Myself" - Billy Idol: If we had the chance, we'd ask the world to dance - then beg for a Billy Idol comeback. Snarls are so ripe for revival.
Flavor of the week: Tracks for a new romance
"All Is Full of Love" - Bjork: I'm so happy with this love affair, I want to wear a swan dress and punch out some reporters.
"My Love Is Like ... Wo" - Mya: An age-old ploy recast for a new generation: Forget them other bitches, because I rock.
Got the hook-up: Aggressive sex songs
"What's Your Fantasy?" - Ludacris featuring Shawnna: Hometown boy serves up some pretty, um, ludicrous scenarios - The Georgia Dome? What? - but the breathless chorus makes up for spotty lyrics. Make it hurt!
"Fuck the Pain Away" - Peaches: A strip club classic that works just as well during tender moments with the one you lust. We're still trying to figure out exactly what is a "Chrissy behind"?
"You Shook Me All Night Long" - AC/DC: Especially appropriate if you happen to be making out in the backseat of 1980 Camaro. Which is hot.
Commitment classics: You'll do for now
"The Look of Love" - Dusty Springfield: God bless Burt Bacharach, who couldn't carry a note in a knapsack but wisely let the likes of Springfield channel his talents. Timeless.
"Whip Appeal" - Babyface: No one does it like Babyface, and no one else could get away with lines like, "Whip all your sweet, sad lovin' on me."
The kiss-off: Tracks for the breakup
"No More Drama" - Mary J. Blige: Remember when MJB made innovative music? Her sample from "The Young and the Restless" still makes me smile.
"I Thought You Were My Boyfriend" - Magnetic Fields: Gay angst that we can all relate to. The moral of the story: Men suck.
"We Belong Together" - Mariah Carey: Check the attitude and give Mimi a chance. This song is like wo.

I'd guess a "Chrissy behind" is a reference to Suzanne Somer's curvacious caboose in "Three's Company"? Ms. bubble-head had some bootylicious 70's short-shorts. I love that show and my very own Chrissy behind.
what valentine's day means to me: PAJAMARAMA (a moment of silence please)
I dont know what this is exactly, but i was just listneing to "fuck the pain away" and i had no idea what a "chrissy behind" is, so i googled chrissy behind, and this is what i found.
I suppose gayest neil's comment was fairly insightful.
I just googled "chrissy behind" aswell, this is facinating to me.
Oh my God!!!!! I just googled chrissy behind too!!!
I was pretty certain that the lyric referred to the shapely derriére of Chrissie (be) Hynde. Peaches are clearly heavily influenced by the Pretenders but I am now reconsidering
'chrissy behind' google hit number one!
hurah to googling chrissy behind. cheers to gayest neil....
Apparently this is where the "Chrissy Behind" party is.
Anyone found any incite yet?

I guess? All I know is I like her
behind and she looks cute in that
video, She got the googley eye look
to her and who doesn't like that!!
Just joining the googling party. Hooray for obscure sex references.
I too stumbled here on my google quest to find out what a chrissy behind.
I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Chrissy Hynde of The Pretenders.
Just keeping the Google "Chrissy Behind" train running. Almost a year after the last poster!
