    Love for Sale: No. 20

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    HOOKERS ARE NOT "IN" THESE WOMEN ARE THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL. REAL "WOMEN, LIKE REAL "MEN" DON'T SELL OUT THERE ENTIRE GENDER FOR GREED. THOSE WOMEN MAKE THE REST US SICK.
    HOW ABOUT, LET'S SAY, THIS IS THE AGE OF THE "SWEET" WOMEN. THE GOOD, HONEST, HONORABLE WOMAN. YES, I LIKE THAT MUCH BETTER.

    Who cares!
    If they want to take my money, so what? Most blokes will tell you it's better than you get from your girl friend or your wife.

    Besides why would you think at all that they are selling out their entire gender????

    Usually it's the churchy butt ugly girls who bitch about our hard working 'girls' and the fact is if more of you women at home paid a bit more attention to what you have at home, your men wouldn't be out and about looking for something better!

    At least they sought the attentions of a 'professional' instead of some trollop at the office!

    What about "OPP--Yeah, You know ME!" by Naughty by Nature?? Maybe she wasn't a hooker but what's your definition? Exchange of money? Also, "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," by Cher deserves a mention. (20 songs is not enough: you're educating people about music they haven't heard yet, so let's make it the Top 100!)

    Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
    She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
    How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
    Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.
    And this masterpiece by The Eagles did not get in? You cant be serious if Hotel California by America's greatest band is not included
