Let's Talk About Sechs

"Isn't sex the point of pop?" asks the Lex. I dunno about the point, maybe a point, but is there really a lot of sexy pop around? (And what would that mean anyway?)

I have (I think!) enabled ANONYMOUS COMMENTS on this post if anyone would like to use em. No, I haven't, ignore that bit.

Like what?? Sex isn't boring at all. I think in terms of subjects I want to hear songs about, sex and love are pretty much top of the list: they're endlessly complex, endlessly fertile and pretty much universally relevant.

Like what? Well, they could write a song about absolutely anything else! I'd really like to hear, I dunno, Usher doing a song about the Irish potato famine but in his usual style. Sex is easy.

But if you actually think about, that song would probably sound awful, and the lyrics would be terrible, and I'd end up still preferring to listen to 'Yeah'.

Sinéad O'Connor did a song about the Irish potato famine. It was funny but awful and I definitely prefer 'Nothing Compares 2 U' and 'Troy'.
