Love for Sale: No. 20

Filed under: The Hit List

For half a century, rock 'n' roll has been as sex-obsessed as a teenage boy -- or a stressed-out politician. Strangely, though, rock becomes prudish when love requires the transfer of cash. Still, hustlers and ladies of the night have occasionally caused tunesmiths to take at least pen in hand. Sometimes these sex professionals cause the ruin of a doe-eyed client. Sometimes they're the ones who are ruined. This gives call for us bloggers, in the world's newest profession, to present 20 songs about the world's oldest.

'Bad Girls' (1979)
-- Donna Summer

Many songs of the disco era embraced hookers, and Donna Summer rode this streetwalking cheetah all the way to No. 1. It's full of judgment at the outset, as Summer decides "bad girls" = "sad girls" because they really just wanna be stars. But by the song's final verse, Summer has found her own inner bad girl, sidling up to a potential john offering some quality time.

1. Good choices. A new one also qualifies: "Angeline" by Jim Quick & Coastline.

5. I have this song called "And You Told My Spouse". It hits quite close to home in regard to the Eliot Spitzer incident. He shouldn't have been a hypocrite. This song is real for him and others like him.

12. Jethro Tull's "Cross-Eyed Mary" surely should have been included in this.

13. Where do women go when they need some? A male brothel?

14. Not only are songs "about" hookers famous, there are also songs "by" hookers which are famous. Sk*nk wh*res like Madonna and Britney "psycho" Spears pump out the sewage like an underground waste pipe.

15. Not only were there famous songs "about" hookers, there were also famous songs "by" hookers. Sk*nk wh*res like madonna and britney "psycho" spears have been pumpin out human waste like an underground sewer-pipe.
