I want to do it with you...

This is really funny. McSweeney's presents "Fifty Years of Popular Songs Condensed into Single Sentences." Most are summarized by "I want to do it with you." There are some exceptions:

  • Sir Mix-a-Lot, "Baby Got Back" = I want to do it.
  • Frank Sinatra, "Strangers in the Night" = I'm drunk and I want to do it with you.
  • Radiohead, "Creep" = I'm filled with self-loathing, and, though outwardly I hate everything you represent, I want to do it with you.

Mudhoney
"Touch me I'm sick = I want to do it with you"
