This Majestically Sexy Head Of Hair Is Responsible For One Of The Greatest Love Songs In Human History And You Don't Even Know His Name
This is a snake draft blog.
We did Love Songs today with Kelly Keegs. I personally enjoyed the topic because it's a great intersection of interests and everyone had heavily loaded boards making for balanced conversation.
But more importantly I guess I just wanted to come on here and say I had no idea Mr. Big had this kind of look. Is this a known thing?
I'm talking about To Be With You, an immensely popular song that went #1 in 15 different countries back in 1992. Everyone knows this song because it's awesome and it's catchy.
I'm the one who Wants. To. BEEEE-WITH-YOU
Deep inside I know you guys feel it too. That's a little word play but you get the point. Just a ridiculously good song that profiles at the top of the Sing Along category. One of those songs you have no idea why you know all the lyrics but you just do. And chances are a good portion of you didn't even know the bands name. But if the song comes on at the bar, you oddly know each word. That's when you know the song's special.
Actually special enough that I was flabbergasted the first time I watched the music video.
And if you watch the draft this week, you'll see a similar reaction across the room. Who knew Mr. Big was your textbook late 80's hair band filled with power ballads and full curls? Consider this an education in music. I am professor Carl. Everyone gets an A.
If we're doing soundtrack songs then I'm taking Gangsta's Paradise pretty early. If you get this reference then you get a butterfinger.
In other news, I was eager to grab Mr. Big To Be With You in the 4th round this week. That's my only spoiler. I nailed all my major music categories but this one was probably the most important because it's the soft acoustic sing along. Personally I don't think you can win the Love Song draft without a good sing along on the board but that's just me.
Hopefully you guys have a nice Valentine's day. If you're lonely then feel free to commiserate with Barstool Chicago via YouTube. And if you're in a committed relationship then maybe this is the perfect show before some good old fashioned sex later. Put me me on the big screen and let me play wingman.
I'll make love to you…
No more spoilers. Go listen and download the show.
