Sexiest love song of all time

I wanna wish a Happy Valentine's Day to everybody out there in Cyberspace and to commemorate the occasion, I thought I'd pick two topics today that we all know and love and that's music and sex.

I was surfing the net yesterday and I came across this article about Billboard's Sexiest Love Song’s of All Time and you'd never guess who was number one. Physical by Olivia Newton-John? Really? Now to be fair, that song came out in 1981 and I am only 27. But for those who'll say I'm biased, I have nothing against old-school music or the 80s and to prove it, here's like five songs from that decade I would've picked above Physical. In fact, that song wouldn't be in my top 50 sexiest songs of all time. In no particular order, Sexual Healing--Marvin Gaye, Like A Virgin--Madonna, Do Me Baby--Prince, Push It -- Salt N Pepa, Moments in Love -- Art of Noise, and that's just off the top of my head.
Of course, I am a brotha who was brought up listening to hip-hop and R&B (what genre does love, and the art of making love, better?) But for you rock enthusiasts out there, I do know a few sexy 80s songs I would put above Physical: How about Addicted to Love -- Van Halen and Simply Irresistible -- Robert Palmer. I said a couple.

I find that a lot of times on these "Best of All Time" lists, music afficionados always do their best to pay hommage to the classics and that's important. But I don't think a lot of contemporary music gets as much respect as it should.

With that spirit in mind, I'm gonna say my sexiest song of all time would have to be Freak Me by Silk-- 1992.


The 90s was a decade that pushed the envelope of sexuality in pop culture rivaled only by the 60s in my opinion, based on reputation, and there were a lot of sexy songs and lyrics in all genres, but this song was the dance floor slow jam that set it off in what? 1992. Other honorable mentions, Any time, Any Place -- Janet Jackson, Lollipop -- Lil' Wayne, No Ordinary Love -- Sade, and of course, Let's Get It On -- Marvin Gaye.

So what's your sexiest song of all time? Ok, white people. You seen I need some help here. My mind's drawing a blank. Remember, sexy doesn't necessarily mean raunchy lyrics. To me it just means it makes you think about sex, so whatever gets the party started for you is your business. To each his own.

Whatever you're into, try to post the music video in your post if you can.

Let the Games Begin!

Last night's opening ceremony in Vancouver marked the official beginning to the 21st Winter Olympic games.

Now that the festivities are over the best winter athletes in the world will hit the ice and powder to compete for Olympic glory.

Personally, my favorite event is Hockey. I used to play it when I was younger and it's the game, in my opinion, over the years the game has lent it's self to some pretty incredible moments on the Olympic stage. Such as the 1980 "Miracle on Ice":


So, let's get to the point: today's item in the scavenger hunt is to share a photo of yourself participating in a winter sport.


This is a photo of friends and I snowboarding back in college. Your's truly is all the way on the right with the beard.

Happy Hunting!

Best TV Bloopers

TGIF Hunters!

The weekend is almost here. What better way to welcome it then to share a few laughs together? Today's hunt item is to find the best TV bloopers!

We all make bloopers in our lives, little mistakes that at best make us laugh to ourselves or at worst humiliate us in front of someone we meant to impress. We all have done it: said something at an inappropriate time, fell in front of a crowd, or sent a text to the wrong person. Nobody's perfect and it is our mistakes that make us human and keep us humble.

The attractive thing about TV bloopers, other than that they are hysterical, is that they show a different side of the people we admire on television. A "real" side. I have attached two of my own favorite bloopers, both are from news programs. News, as you know, is LIVE TV. Unlike, many other kinds of bloopers, these were not deleted and were seen my millions of home viewers. You gotta love that. I think they are great because the well composed anchor people just can’t pull it together, lose their cool and just plain freak out. As you will see in these clips, and sometimes in life, the best thing you can do when you mess up is to just keep laughing.

So let’s do just that today folks. Give us your best blooper and laugh with us.

What's in Your Food?

Hello Everyone,

What a day yesterday!
Snow, snow, and more snow.
If you had some where you are, please be careful out there, it’s awfully slippery today!
I was looking forward to sharing some amazing photos from our ScavHunt list but as mother nature will have it, I got snowed in and spent most of the day with my friends in the media. And that’s how today’s theme, “What’s in your food?” evolved.

First lady Michelle Obama has kicked off her "Let's Move" drive. The agenda of nutrition and exercise programs is designed to eliminate "the epidemic of childhood obesity" in the younger generation. As part of this initiative, Michelle is asking that schools get more funding so they can “take out the deep fryers,” and serve students with more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products. She has also enlisted professional athletes to run sports clinics across the nation.
Mrs. Obama is also pushing to get food makers and vendors to voluntarily make their food healthier or at least label it better so people can make informed choices. Speaking of which, I did a little research to see what the issue is with fries and burgers. Take a look at what I found:

Okay, but I’m no food purist – I absolutely enjoy my fries and burgers when I can. But these videos did get me thinking…

So, wherever you are, we’d love to hear your story. The good, the bad, and the ugly ones too if you want! From the strand of hair you found, to your best meal ever, let’s share your favorite food stories, ideas, tips, recipes, photos, videos… everything!
We are on Facebook and Twitter.

What’s on your plate today?

My name is Juanita, and I’m serving your ScavHunt experience today. Bon Appetit!
