IN THIS EDITION:  Despite my video rant about wimpy song lyrics
yesterday, not ALL of them are as bad as the examples I gave.

LAST CHANCE TO GET ALL THREE FAST ACTION BONUSES


Yesterday I did something my business advisers were TOTALLY
against.

I decided to give out ALL the original fast action bonuses
from the original Behind Closed Doors launch all over again.

And yes, dozens more of you have snapped up the chance to get a
live 1-on-1 call with me along with all the other goodies.

That's ON TOP OF the stacks on stacks of value I've packed
into Behind Closed Doors itself:

Just in case you're still wondering if Behind Closed Doors
is for you, I offer these questions...

Have you been feeling lately that it's going to take Samuel L.
Jackson in a black suit and a Jheri curl to get your libido's
attention?

Is your burning desire to please your woman going up in smoke?

Do you find yourself unprepared for class when you're supposed
to be "in session"?

Do you keep settling for vanilla, chocolate or strawberry when
"peach ripple delight" is the special of the day?

Has this e-mail been the most sexual excitement you've had in
months?

Suffice it to say that if you've answered "yes" to even ONE of
these questions, then you need to get your hands on THIS as if
your (sex) life depends on it:

No kidding.  Snap up Behind Closed Doors within 24 hours while all
of the fast action bonuses are there for you again and you'll
be one HAPPY man.

HOLD ON LOOSELY, BUT DON'T LET GO...


Okay, okay.  Even though that video I sent you yesterday contained
some pretty strong opinions on how completely wussified some songs'
lyrics are, I wanted to be sure to give "equal time" to at least
one example of a song that has a much better take on things.

While Smokey Robinson was still crying "The Tears Of A Clown" (and
having women throw underwear at him anyway), a certain southern
rock band in the early '80's had this take on women instead:



  "Hold On Loosely" by .38 Special (1981)


  You see it all around you
  Good loving gone bad
  And usually it's too late when you
  Realize what you had

  And my mind goes back
  To a girl I met some years ago
  Who told me

  Just hold on loosely but don't let her go
  If you cling too tightly
  You're gonna lose control
  Your girl needs someone to believe in
  And a whole lot of space to breathe in

  It's so damn easy
  When your feelings are such
  To overprotect her
  To love her too much

  And my mind goes back
  To a girl I met some years ago
  Who told me

  Just hold on loosely but don't let her go
  If you cling too tightly
  You're gonna lose control
  Your baby needs someone to believe in
  And a whole lot of space to breathe in



There you have a pretty good plan for showing just enough interest
in a woman without giving your power away, huh?  That pretty much
sums it up.

And you've got to appreciate the apparent irony of how the male
songwriters perpetrated like it was actually a woman giving the
advice.

It's as if that would somehow make the song's message more
credible, even though we all know that in real life women seldom
articulate what they really want from a man with such clarity.

It's all weirdly similar to what goes on in Shakespearean plays
like "Twelfth Night" where a man plays a woman disguised as a man.

But anyway, I wanted to be sure to give a shout out to at least one
rock and roll song that got it right.  If you can think of other
good examples, by all means write me at scot@deservewhatyouwant.com

For what it's worth, "Cherry Pie" by Warrant won't count.

There's one more thing before I wrap this up.

Lest I be reminded of it by one of you, let me be the first to
acknowledge that .38 Special is unfortunately the same band that's
also responsible for this shocker:



  So caught up in you, little girl
  You're the one that's got me down on my knees


  (from So Caught Up In You by .38 Special.  1982)



Man, that hurts.  And that came out a year after "Hold On Loosely",
no less.  So they should have known better.

All I can say is that you wouldn't have caught Molly Hatchet
writing lyrics like that. 
   

Be Good,

Scot McKay
