I just discovered this by looking up the sample on a hip hop track; that's going to be my sexy new way of finding good 20th century music now. #JoinTheClub
Can I admit something? I don't think I completely understand irony in songs. Like.. on this one he's talking about why you shouldn't do it.. but the whole sound is a seductive one. So on some level isn't he evoking its effects?
