Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day—which means you need to SHAPE UP today! And by “shape up” I mean you need to recognize the difference between romance and “sexual creepiness.” Example: “Romance” is when you express your innermost feelings to the person you love. “Sexual creepiness” is when… well, it’s best expressed in this 1998 video by NEXT, appropriately entitled, “TOO CLOSE.”
It tells the story of a trio of young men who get a bit too close to their dancing partners, and… well, they get erections. (Or as they call it, “a bolt.”) But you see, it’s not THEIR fault they have erections—it’s those damn girls! Women are just too damn sexy! (And these guys are sexy, too—in the creepiest sort of way.)
But it’s still a great song! And the way the girls in this video dance? I must admit I’m developing a little “bolt,” too. (These gals REALLY enjoy whipping off their shirts.)
