The Temptations – “A Song for You” – My favorite version of this much recorded song.
Answer the following questions using only song titles. Make sure you link to the song or the song’s lyrics so that we can listen to or read the song.
Jack’s Answers
1. What is your present state of mind?
“Inside of you” by Hoobastank
You can’t possibly be surprised that my mindset is summed up by a song with the lyrics, “What do I have to do to get inside of you.”
2. How do you feel about your spouse, significant other, or someone you lust for?
“Truly, Madly, Deeply” by Savage Garden
My spouse, who incidentally happens to be my significant other AND someone I lust for, is the center of my universe. I love my child, but I don’t love her in anywhere near the same manner that I love Jill. Everything I do, I do for the furtherance of my marriage, and the life that Jill and I have built together.
3. Describe your job.
“Satisfaction” by Benny Benassi
Given that my day-to-day involves not punching a clock, wearing shorts and a T-shirt if the weather’s nice, eating lunch whenever – and for that matter wherever – I want, and frequently going to the park, I sometimes feel like an asshole for complaining about not being able to jerk off while I’m on duty.
4. What are you hungry for?
“Pussy” by Rammstein
Those who know me personally – and, I suspect, most of the people who know me solely through this blog – know that one of my favorite pleasures in life is food. However, no food, regardless of how delicious, can make my mouth water the way pussy does.
Please don’t eat me, mister!
5. What’s your favorite color?
“Blue” by A Perfect Circle
I’ve always been drawn to the color blue. I’d love to be able to analyze this, and tie it into my love of the sea, my melancholic personality, or perhaps my lifelong obsession with The Smurfs, but none of these things apply to me.
Still, this is a very cool-looking frog.
6. What gets you excited?
“Beautiful Girls” by Van Halen
While a more accurate answer would be “Beautiful Women”, that’s not the title Eddie, Alex, Michael and David chose. I’m pretty sure the extra syllable would’ve thrown off the song’s rhythm anyway.
But it’s true: just about all women excite me, regardless of shape, size ethnic origin, or mental condition.
Doesn’t count; not technically a woman.
7. Who do you think you are?
“Theme From Shaft” by Isaac Hayes
As I’ve stated elsewhere on this blog, this Academy Award-winning song is one of my favorites. Few songs can inspire an awkward thirteen-year-old to feelings of badassery like this one.
I’m sorry – how did YOU picture me?
Bonus: Describe your life. Feel free to elaborate on your song choice.
“Charmed Life” by Mick Jagger
I have everything I need and truly want, despite making a remarkably negligible effort to get it.
Jill’s Answers
1. What is your present state of mind?
“Vacation” by the Go-Gos
Spring Break is two weeks late this year. It’s been a difficult few months at work, and I can’t wait for my week off.
2. How do you feel about your spouse, significant other, or someone you lust for?
“Always and Forever” by Luther Vandross
The love I feel for my husband, and for that matter my child, is all-encompassing, and will last forever.
3. Describe your job.
“She Works Hard For the Money” by Donna Summer
Being a teacher means that I am also a babysitter, a behaviorist, and a psychologist. I deal with thirty rambunctious, often ill-mannered children. I bring my work home with me every single day. I regularly go above and beyond the call of duty for very little pay.
4. What are you hungry for?
“H.W.C.” by Liz Phair
The acronym stands for “hot white cum”.
That’s “H.W.C.”, not to be confused with “H.V.A.C.”
5. What’s your favorite color?
“Green River” by Creedence Clearwater Revival
To me, green is clean and fresh. It reminds me of Ireland, and of springtime. It is a color that makes me think of renewal, of new beginnings.
And let’s not forget about this guy.
6. What gets you excited?
“Happy Jack” by The Who
I’ve always been a fan of Billy Joel’s song “Captain Jack” and I almost went with that song, but the theme and lyrics don’t exactly encapsulate my relationship with Jack.
Let’s just say that this is not the “Captain Jack” for whom the song was written.
7. Who do you think you are?
“Oh, Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison
My outer beauty is surpassed only by my inner beauty.
Even in her prime, Julia Roberts had nothing on me.
Bonus: Describe your life. Feel free to elaborate on your song choice.
“Top of the World” by The Carpenters
I am very fortunate to have a loving husband, a fabulous daughter, and amazing friends and family who I love very much and can count on for anything.

wonderful, beautiful, crisp, luxurious, and cinnamon sounds and music here, my ears are blessed.
that name Hoobastank, i just love it, it still just gets inside me, even today, y’know?
i actually did an HNT of Liz Phair’s HWC, one of my first ones i believe, people thought i was crazy…they were right…
Love Rammstein.
And I very nearly chose Satisfaction myself, as wel as Shaft, which I believe my choice (more suited to me) was based on.
first and foremost…GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC!!
Jack…#1 hehehe!! loved it!
Jill…#7 I love it!
@Jack:
1. Nope not surprised at all.
2. I just saw this on another list–either Faile or Optimisitc Virgin.
Your sentiments about Jill are incredibly beautiful.
3. “I sometimes feel like an asshole for complaining about not being able to jerk off while I’m on duty.” Every job has its pros and cons. 🙂
4. I swear you and KinkyGent are twins separated at birth.
The kitty graphic is funny.
7. Funny answer/graphic. Best quote “Few songs can inspire an awkward thirteen-year-old to feelings of badassery like this one.”
Bonus: That’s great that you feel that way.

Never disappointed! so cool to see the different song genres used in here. 😀
Awesome, awesome, awesome answers! Very fun and enjoyable!
Super fun to read this. Some great songs and very clever!
Finally back here…whew!
1. Very good. Enjoy your time off.
2. You two make me melt. Love this song–by Heatwave or Luther. When I was a kid and it was popular, I hated it. Go figure. *shrugs shoulders*
3. OMG! Perfect title for being a teacher. Don’t even get me started on the state of our education system, lack of good pay and benies for teachers, mis-managed budgets leaving teachers strapped for materials..etc etc etc. Oh and the lazy ass parents that send their heathens to school with no social skills and respect for authority!
Oh sorry. I’m done. sorry.
(need to replay that Go-gos tune and change the mood)
Got so worked up when I saw “She works hard for the money” and the words “Being a teacher” I’ve just now read your commentary. Seems we have a mutual understanding. 🙂
4. Too much, too much. Who’d of thought there was a song about cum.
Oh did you see this gem on Infidelity chronicles? “The Best Thing About You Was Your Dick.” See their #2 answer.
Hahaha…definitely not confused with HVAC.
7. *smiling* Yep, good answer.
Not at all a Julia Roberts fan.
Bonus: 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Have a fantastic week and a sexy weekend.

Great answers for the week. S would agree with you about working hard for the money as a teacher. I liked the H.W.C song a lot when it first came out, I hadn’t thought of it in years.
Enjoyed your song choices.
