I remember the infamous MTV performance in the early 90's...what was the name of the song? something about the number of positions in a one night stand?

We need more girl groups (or groups with girls in them) on this list:

"Our Lips Are Sealed" (misheard as "Alex the Seal")
"Manic Monday"
"These Dreams"
"I Want Candy"
"Closer to Fine" (for those of us awash in teenage folk angst in 1989)

You beat me to it! I met them, used to bartend in a lounge they played at in their come-back tour a few years ago.

Both. Andy has too many strange chick friends if they like him.

Rachel Ray, now there is a real woman. Haha. A lot of woman. But she can cook and I can't. Bonus points for that.

For all of the hullabaloo about Prince singing at the Superbowl halftime show this year, since he found religion he's apparently tamed down his show a lot. Some songs he won't do anymore.

Though I always thought "Little Red Corvette" was actually an ode to monogamy.

Now THERE's a song that would take on a whole different meaning if a girl sang it to a guy-- "Little Red Corvette/Baby, you're much too fast..."
