I don't usually play music for my dates, but on this occasion the fellow had told me to relax in advance. So I put on the "Warren Zevon Top Tracks" YouTube playlist (I've been getting tired of the few albums I have), started crocheting an armwarmer, and lay back and relaxed.
When he got there... it turns out HE was a Warren Zevon fan, too! So I left the station on.
And it was all of one and a half songs until we get... The French Inhaler.
For the unfamiliar, The French Inhaler is a song about a prostitute. But... not someone who's decided she wanted a little more financial freedom, not someone who decided to have a little discreet adventure on the side, but a washed-up, haggard girl who was originally convinced she was going to be a star, and ended up as a chewed up woman who'd put all her money into his drinking.
...can you SAY not the tone I wanted to strike!? LOL!
And it occurs to me that a lot of you folks use music--men and women--and was wondering if you had any similar missteps. Like--"Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" for women, or "Fat Bottomed Girls" for men, or--maybe you're a man seeing someone for the first time and your guilty-pleasure Paula Abdul album comes on the rotation.
So, that's the question. Music missteps! Tell us. It'll be funny.
