The Hump Day Five

Five songs about whatever you think they're about:

Ween-All My Love
When they first came out, I honestly thought Ween were a joke band. Okay, I still think they're a joke band, but, somewhere along the way, they also revealed themselves to be artists capable of some major genre-hopping. This is a band that can do anything, anytime, anywhere. This song proves it.

Pretenders-Message Of Love
Caught Pretenders on this VH1 show called Decades, or something like that. They performed songs with the likes of Iggy Pop, Shirley Manson from Garbage, and the guys from Kings Of Leon. Now, I've always thought that the Pretenders were one of the great bands of the 80's. That original line-up kicked some serious ass back in the day. When I saw Chrissie collaborating on a couple tunes with Kings of leon, though, their bored vibe completely clashed with Chrissie's enthusiasm. It was then I remembered why I dug the Pretenders and why I have yet to jump on the Kings of Leon bandwagon.

Marvin Gaye-Let's Get It On
This is a song that will always be the epitome of sensuality more than sexuality, no matter how many movies use it as background music for some fat guy having trouble getting his pants off in the bedroom as a hottie that he could only get in the movies waits for him to drop down on her like a ton of half-digested White Castle burgers.

Nine Inch Nails-Closer
Spiritually speaking, this song is the complete antithesis to "Let's Get It On". Trent, my man, this may work on Courtney Love, but...

Ray Charles-What'd I Say
A song for the morning after, if ever there was one. :P Ray brings it as only Ray can.
