The sexiest song on my playlist these days

[rivkat]

Semisonic's "Bed." Unfortunately, I bought my copy from iTunes, so sharing it would involve complicated (and illegal!) encryption-cracking manipulations, but you should still try to find it. I like the song because of the unusual use of the verb "to bed" -- the demand is just as blatant as "I want your sex," yet also erotically charged by the almost archaic form used. If you reformulate the message as "sleep with me or I'll find someone else who will," it's a lot less attractive, but as is I really enjoy it. (It doesn't hurt that "Well show me a friendship that's pure and chaste/And I'll show you an engine that's dying to race" makes me think of Lex, of course.)

Haha, I made 75% of a QAF video to that song, but due to the failure that is my computer, it dissapeared and was never heard from again. Good song though. :)

The urban legend is that just e-mailing the file to yourself will screw up the DRM, but I haven't tested it yet....

There is a fabulous SG1 vid to that song... I believe it's by Rhian and Jo... amazing things happen when a Sam/Jack shipper and a Jack/Daniel slasher collaborate on a vid!

Really? Would you happen to have a link? I'd love to see it.

Well, I had to download it just for the verb "to bed" and now it's making *me* think of Lex.

Not that I needed another excuse to collage Lex, of course. Thank you for the rec!
