Which is more romantic?

Oh, give me a break, Tom. One has the man wanting to marry the girl and the other has him shocked that his crush is in the industry as he yanks it over her picture.

CLEARLY "Centerfold". "Perfect Gentleman" has a better beat, though.

I don't even know what this question is supposed to imply, it's as scary as Choo Choo Rockets.

The back story to this is Alex T's claim that "Perfect Gentleman" is the most romantic song of all time. This has been the subject of some dispute. And come to think of it why not extend it to a general "songs about sex workers" thread. "PG" is certainly better than "Roxanne".

To the best of my knowledge, PG does not have "Na-na-n'-na-na-NAAAAAAAAAAAA" or "1-2-3-4!"

Thus: Centerfold.

I didn't realize that "Na-na-n'-na-na-NAAAAAAAAAAAA" or "1-2-3-4!" were considered romantic. This lends even more credence to my choice.

It's the handclaps that make it really romantic.

― Ally, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I get romantic when I think of how special my love is. I love J Geils becasue he blessed me
