Hey eveyone, was just wondering what you all thought are some great slow dancing songs...I personally think that the song "I Want To Know What Love Is" sung by Tina Arena is an awesome slow song..and also "Everything" by Lifehouse...what are your favorites??


Nothing says lovin' like "Too Drunk to F*ck" by the Dead Kennedys

Well, except one really is too drunk to fuck, that is. Hee hee hee, Dano... it's always a bit of a race to see which one of us is gonna get that one in there first! You win this round, my friend!

Striptease by Hawksley Workman

In a house by the tracks
I want, I want you back
In a dress that's faded black
I want you back, I want you back

All the ways my mother taught me how
I want, I want you now
In any place you'll allow
I want you now, I want you now

It's never very hard stayin' true
When I'm stayin' true to you
And your kisses are all I think about
The proof is in your moves and your grooves
And the little things you do
And the silly things you laugh about

I called, you came
I called, you came
It seems to be our only way
I'll be dreamin' of the kissin'that I'm missin'
Truly wishin' that you listen when I sweetly ask you to

Striptease for me, baby
Striptease for me, baby
Striptease for me, baby
aaaah!

All the ways you never ever had
I want, I want you bad
You know I'll never make you sad
I want you bad, I want you bad

As if I never said the words
I want, I want you first
Only thing that can quench my thirst
I want you first, I want you first

It's never very hard stayin' true
When I'm stayin' true to you
And your kisses are all I think about
The proof is in your moves and your grooves
And the little things you do
And the silly things you laugh about

I called, you came
I called, you came
It seems to be our only way
I'll be dreamin' of the kissin' that I'm missin'
Truly wishin' that you listen when I sweetly ask you to

Striptease for me, baby
Striptease for me, baby
Striptease for me, baby
raow!

OK< I wanna know how you got the 'f' word through the filters! :-)
I posted a message in another thread with a reference to Charles****ns and the filter changed his last name -- in case it did it again, he's the English writer of books like "Oliver Twist", "Barnaby Rudge", "A Christmas Carol", "Bleak House", etc.

As for slow songs, really romantic, sloooowww songs, look to Michael Buble, BabyFace, Boyz 2 Men, Son By Four, "Amor" and "Romantico" by Adrea Boccelli.

Uh uh uh... one must first understand the rules before attempting to break them. With subversiveness comes great responsibility... it's not for amateurs, nor to be used indiscriminately. ;)

Back on topic... Neil Finn's solo version of Throw Your Arms Around Me, originally by Hunters and Collectors, also covered by Crowded House & Pearl Jam, among countless others...

I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
I'll go running along your street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
We will never forget it
You will make me call your name
and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at night time
And I watched you in your sleep
I kissed you in 165 places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So if you disappear out of view
You know, I will never say goodbye
Though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name
and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and let's get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah you will throw you arms around me

And with that, countless 40-somethings across the POF forums are shuddering and/or wincing at the memory that the soundtrack to losing their virginity was Frampton Comes Alive.

Frank Zappa - Harder Than Your Husband

We must say good-bye
There's no need for you to cry
It's better that I tell you this tonight
Our affair has been quite heated
You thought I was what you needed
But the time has come, my darlin'
To set things right, 'cause

I'll be harder than yer husband
To get along with
Harder than yer husband every night
Harder than yer husband
Harder than yer husband
An' I don't want our love affair
To end with a fight

You been like a little angel
How you loved me
I appreciate the warmth of your embrace
Well, the world don't need to know
How I adored you
But there's somethin' I must tell you, darlin'
Face to face. . .

I'll be harder than yer husband
To get along with
Harder than yer husband every night
Harder than yer husband
Harder than yer husband
An' I don't want our love affair
To end with a fight

So, it's adios, adios, my little darlin'
(Adios my little darlin'. . .)
Gotta go now. . .
Keep that hankie that I gave you for when you cry
There are things that trouble me
And I'm sure that you must see
That it breaks my heart the same as yours
When we say good-bye

Harder than yer husband
Harder than yer. . .much, much, much
Harder than yer husband
Harder than yer. . .much, much, much
Harder than yer husband
Harder than yer.. .much, much, much
Harder than yer husband
Harder than yer.. .

It's probably a good thing that you've (obviously) never had sex with a 16 year old boy. :)

Team America - Pearl Harbor

I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbor
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
And that’s an awful lot girl
And now, now you’ve gone away
And all I’m trying to say is
Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you

I need u like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film
I need u like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He’s way better than Ben Affleck
And now all I can think about is your smile
and that shitty movie too
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you

Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
Just a little bit more than I miss you...

Soberkitty. It was Dan Hill that sang Sometimes When We Touch.
Slow dance for me would be Lonestar-Amazed or Norah Jones-Turn Me On.
Oooo in the mood now. Think I'll ask someone to dance with me!!

LOL That particular song was one of those "our songs" that I thought I'd never forget the artist ... that ole CRS is a bi*ch sometimes! LOL

Scarier even was my disbelief that this song was old enough to be on a 45, but much to my chagrin it was released as a single in 1977 by K-Tel!
I may have received my copy when I ordered my Patty Stacker and Miracle Brush.

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm coming down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
As I pass down by your street
And if you want a show
Just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cuz baby, oooooooh...
If Heaven calls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
When you leave my life
I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm coming down

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cuz baby, ooooooh...
If Heaven calls
I'm coming too
Juat like you said
If you leave my life
I'm better off dead
But if you want a show
Just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Yeah I know I'll see your face again
Yeah I know I'll see your face again
Yeah I know I'll see your face again

Never coming down
Never coming down no more
Never coming down
Never coming down no more...
