The joy of sex. This is one of the best pop songs of the Noughties. I have seen this set fire to The Knitting Factory in New York and provincial clubs in Cardiff: the effect on New York hipsters and Valleys Hen Nights was identical, the litmus test of any great record.

Onto lovely Nicole, star of the first post.

She does a silly, charming ‘sexy’ patois in this, which is great, I love silly voices, it’s a version of Bryan Ferry. But apart from that, this is a really big, glamorous, dramatic pop epic about cunnilingus and fingering. This is foreplay as a metaphysical stand-off: a playful but serious game of tactics and strategies and movement.

A major pop classic.
