I had a pretty good day.

Marvin Gaye, "After the Dance"
On: I Want You (1978)
What the song is about: MG locks eyes with a mystery woman from across the room..and makes imaginary plans for later.
Why I was listening to it: It seemed like good 'fro-picking music this morning.
Best lyric: "And I wonder would she want me (Ah, wonder if she, would go for me)/ If she knows what she needs is me?"...MG is really captivated by the woman, so much so that he spends the entirety of the song musing about 1) her beauty 2) the way she moves and 3) what she may be like in bed. Still, as much as he is in awe of her, he's not intimidated, and he assumes she wants him just as much as he wants her.
Best part of the song: When MG telepathically asks the woman "What you gonna do?" from across the room, he hits THE SWEETEST falsetto. Priceless.



Salt 'n' Peppa, "None of Your Business"
On: Very Necessary (1993)
What the song is about: Sometimes, girls like to f*** too. Quit hatin'!!!!!!!
Why it has replaced The Lemonheads in my truck stereo: It was $1 at Half Priced Books...I couldn't resist.
Best lyric: "I treat a man like he treats me/ The difference between a hooker and a ho ain't nothin' but a fee/ So hold your tongue tightly, wish you could be like me."
