107/365 Bad Touch

My co-worker John left town on my 40th birthday. I try to not take that personally; he really needed to get away from Vermont. He’s since lived in Kentucky and Nova Scotia, spending long stints in metro DC and on his lover’s sailboat.

Before he left, he made me a mix tape—OK, CD, but I’m not letting go of the mix tape verbage yet—full of ridiculously fun songs, including the previously noted “I’m Too Sexy” and Bloodhound Gang’s “Bad Touch.” I do so enjoy the silly, self-centered, and raunchy.

Now, Youtubewise, should I link you to the ridiculous and rather visually uninteresting Bloodhound Gang video or the possibly overly hot Buffy and Spike footage?

Love—the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific. I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means “Small Craft Advisory”
So if I capsize on your thighs high tide, B-5, you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on I’m Mister Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours I’ll show you mine “Tool Time” you’ll Lovett just like Lyle
And then we’ll do it doggy style so we can both watch X Files

I started watching these on my lunch hour, but I think maybe I should wait until I get home tonight!

I have not watched/listened yet just read the lyrics which IMHO read like a Micheal Franks classic...can't wait to listen.
Know what you mean about the mixed tape verbage thing. I struggle with this one.

I vote for the Buffy version.

LO: Michael Franks gone incredibly dirty!

Speaking of mix tapes, I heard that the biggest manufacturer of blank cassettes in the UK is going to stop making them this year. The end of an era!
