Circle of Amour - thoughts? I'm a huge fan of Circle of Amour, as I am of most of the material from The Truth. However, I've let a number of ladyfriends hear the song, and all of them chastised me for the unrealistic portrayal of female sexuality it portrays.
Curious what the boards thoughts are. Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle
Best friends as far as I could tell Cheerleaders except 4 Denise She was the wild one, she was the beast She was the one who named the group The original gang of 4 Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle Circle Of Amour 10th grade Central in September That was a year I remember On this chilly cold afternoon I overheard the gang in the locker room Rendezvous - Mary's house Dirty words and wine Needless 2 say, they all spent the day Just counting time, counting time Halfway through her history class Denise, she kindly raised her hand and asked If she could be excused ("Can I be excused?") Then she ran from school in a hurry (Ran from school) The other girls - ooh, they knew This is what friends are really 4 Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle Circle Of Amour Circle Of Amour Imagination should window (Imagination) On a cold September day (Ooh) Leaves are brown (brown), passion sounds (Ooh) A memory self-astray 4 hands in the place where the feet connect Gang of 4 - circle of sex In a vicious race 2 maturity They almost faint from ecstasy Sweat upon the necks of dames Loser in the circle game Cuz some memories are worth so much more (So much more) Mary, Claire, Denise and Belle Circle Of Amour I wanna be loved to the 9s, so let me cover your ass with this sheet, and baby, you better stay on the beat! Cause you know the Karma Sutra? I can rewrite it. But, with half as many words. | |

Poor Prince thought teenage girls did circle jerks, too.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

When I first got together with my current girlfriend, she assumed that guys got together for circle jerks. Apparently she had friends in college whose boyfriends did such things - who would have a bunch of guys sitting around, watching porn, seeing who could last the longest. Or end first. I don't know. She also mentioned something about guys wrestling naked. I explained to her that, "No...none of my friends and I have done this, and none of them have ever done anything like this as far as I know. Sitting around a room with a bunch of naked men is cool if that's your bag, but it doesn't tend to be something strictly heterosexual men do together."

It's a male sexual fantasy, 'course it's unrealistic. I'm sure it's happened, but doubt it's an every day occurance. bleutuna said: When I first got together with my current girlfriend, she assumed that guys got together for circle jerks.

Circle jerks are a typical (often just apocryphal?) adolescent heterosexual male thing. I remember hearing tales of them at school. That's probably why a female circle jerk would be a male fantasy much like lesbianism is, they'd rather be in on a female circle jerk than a male one. [Edited 2/19/09 10:33am] | |

It's way too much of a wafer-thin cheap porno storyline! "Oh Melissa, your panties are so wet!" "I just can't help it I'm so horny all the time" "Oh Becky, what are you doing?... Mmmmm... Mmmmm" | |

i thought they all did the dutch rudder man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

What I want next is a poor young dude in a hospital, because he's got a non-stop erection and finally wants it to go away. None of the doctors could help and his boner remained the way he was.. until the young, unexperienced nurse came in. | |

[Edited 2/19/09 10:33am] Honestly - guys aren't circle jerking. It's just not something we do. I don't know any guys who've ever been in a circle jerk, except those who are bi-sexual or homosexual. More power to them. You may have heard of some guys at your school back in the day doing it, but I promise you, it's not something that most guys do. It's pretty isolated.

Well, I did say they were probably apocryphal stories. For sure these things are more urban legend than not. 
Oh bluetuna, what are you doing?... I've never, I've never done this before, but it feels so nice! Mmmmm, we have to stop, what if one of the moderators walks in and catches us  | |

The key word is "Imagination" ("should window" doesnt sound right)..its happening in his head.
Weird song. | |

I love this thread, very funny
Considering how many accurate portrayals of sexuality of many types he has come up with, it's OK to "fail" with a portrayal which is fictional and unrealistic. Unless it's meant to be a fantasy he had in 10th grade (Oh, Denise is leaving class! I wonder where she's going? Mary, Belle and Claire are whispering something...), then I suppose it's very realistic indeed. think about it that way, it's a better song actually | |

As horny high school fantasies go...Schoolyard is the crème de la crème.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Remember when Prince wrote silly little songs about lesbians & didn't spend his time condemning their lifestyle?
Ahh, the good old days. | |

Hmm...I'll bet male adolescent circle jerks aren't all that uncommon. I remember friends of mine talking about that stuff when we were no more than 11 or 12. And to this day, they're completely heterosexual to my knowledge. I'm sure none of them would own up to all those silly things they used to talk about and do when the curiosity about sex was there, but the possibility of being with a real girl seemed nonexistent.
Anyway, I see there was one or two lyrics that I've been singing wrong. For one, I thought he was saying "4 hands in the place where the V connects...That makes more sense to me somehow. | |

Beautiful song. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

I really like this song, although I do not get to hear it very often because I don't have "The Truth" (I have a poorly dubbed version of it on a 10 year old cassette).
My feeling of this song is that it conveys how a teenage male may fantasize a group of girls that he sees in his school. I abdicated the throne in Ithaca, but now I am...
