Monday Coffee Break: Lots Of Touching Going On

Posted at 8:17 AM on November 22, 2010 by Steve Seel (41 Comments)
Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

There seems to be only one topic we could do this morning for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what with the increased hubbub over the past several days about the increasingly invasive screening happening these days at the airport, not to mention this on Saturday Night Live this past Saturday:

That's right. Today's topic is songs about touching.

Songs played:
Willie Nelson "Touch Me"
The Black Keys "Your Touch"
The Buzzcocks "Why Can't I Touch It?"
The Darkness "I Believe in a Thing Called Love"
Gary Glitter "Do You Want to Touch (Oh Yeah)"

My suggestions are already out there, but I'll add my vote for:
* Joan Jett - Do You Wanna Touch Me? (I think every Monday requires a little JJ & the Blackhearts action)
* the Divinyls - Touch Myself (sort of the antithesis of an airport patdown, no??)
* Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline (because you know everyone will sing along to the radio on the "touching you, touching me" part)
