Dude. I was desperately into George Michael as a wee child. I had a full-body poster of him hanging above my waterbed when I was, oh, seven? Picture a little me in stonewashed jeans, clutching my Snoopy on a Carebears quilt with a giant poster of G.M. in sunglasses glowering above me. (I have a picture of this somewhere.)
“Everything She Wants” is a more recent obsession, as well as kind of depressing. For example, this wailed line really makes my anxiety broil up: “And then you tell me that you’re having my baby / I’ll tell you that I’m happy if you want me to / But one step further and my back will break / If my best is never good enough than how can it be good enough for two?”. In addition to all of the lamentation about how much this woman wants, the groany chorus really worms the song into your brain. Enjoy!
P.S. The fact that this is Wham! and there’s another guy is totally lost on me. Who cares about that dude? It’s all about G.M.
HAHAHA!!! You are hilarious. I was totally rocking “Faith” in the car yesterday AND I still have Wham! Make it Big on vinyl.
Ha, that’s funny. I was strangely into this song a few months back. I love how the video centers on their stardom.
“I’ll tell you that I’m happy if you want me to ” is the best line, but the whole thing is gold!
i love George so much and i was rocking faith in my car as well and i was rocking fast love
Poor Andrew Ridgely, living happily with his Bananarama wife, no one cares about him.
I bet he is well smug living in the countryside not being arrested and driving into trees like George. I love George though. We have the same birthday.
