RICH'S MIXTAPE
Picking the right songs for V-Day
is much harder than you think
Songs are an ideal way to express those
warm fuzzies to your loved one, but it really
messes things up when a "boy" or "girl" is
sung out unexpectedly and inappropriately —
the whole gender thing can take anybody out
of the moment. (At least if you are as anal re-
tentive as I am.) But here are some songs that
might go into your own mixtape — and then
into your baby's heart.
"To Make You Feel My Love" — Adele:
There are many covers of this Dylan song, but
Adele sings with such depth, it's impossible to
go wrong as you light the candles with this
playing. Consider this aural foreplay.
"I Wanna Hold Your Hand" — The Beat-
les: This classic for the guys is a total winner.
Newbie love or long-term relationship, is any-
thing cuter than handholding on Valentine's?
Nope, not really.
"Hello" — Sugarbomb: I get a tad choked
up by this dittie. It's just so "awww." The de-
funct Fort Worth band captures a bubblegum
sweetness yet stays just shy of cliche. The
group's out frontman Les Farrington, who co-
wrote the song, still performs in these parts.
"Extraordinary" — K.D. Lang: Lang is al-
ways a go-to for the right tone but she knocks
it out here. You are not going to go wrong put-
ting your snookums on this musical pedestal.
"Be Gentle With Me" — The Boy Least
Likely To: This band strips away any fagade
with overt and charming honesty. But the tune
is bubbly enough to fit right in with a box of
chocolates.
"I'll Come Running" — Brian Eno: When
he sings "I'll come running to tie your shoe,"
Eno escapes the over-the-top duties required
by lovers. Climb a mountain? No way. This is
much more feasible — and titillating.
"Heaven's on Fire" — KISS: If you need
to get a little dirtier and sexier, never count out
KISS. They are surprisingly restrained here
and don't resort to all the female objectifying.
And that makes this hot for anybody.
"My Life Would Suck Without You" —
Kelly Clarkson (pictured): OK, let's face it, not
all relationships are perfect, but some put the
fun in dysfunctional. Drama kings and queens
have love too and thankfully, Clarkson knows
that.
"Lovely Day" — Bill Withers: This is a
closer that's gonna seal the deal. It's less ro-
mance and more tender reassurance that
you're Valentine is the right choice.
