A Donna Summer Karaoke Collectable You Can't Get Anymore....

[needlefingers]

Seems Wendy's was promoting a karaoke version of Last Dance, but pulled the item.

Here's the story....

Did anybody get one?

You can buy it if you want it. It wasn't produced for Wendys specifically. They just had a deal to offer it. Buy one from Amazon if you wish. It is an entire CD- not just one song.

Guys...the line in question is the one towards the end where she sings "Hold me, Scold me, cause when I'm bad I'm so, so-ho-bad"

Some idiot heard that matriculation as "so, so horny". I was part of an argument about this on another forum where someone posted the clip.

Save your money.

Save your money.

I will....and go buy a Whopper instead. "Cause when I'm hungry, I'm so, so ho-ngry."

Thanks for the real story guys.

I wouldn't have believed it, but I read it...
And I'd never heard of this release, before!
So, thanks to all y'alls!

But I do hear, what he's hearing. It's wrong, of course.
(but then... I'd never have imagined Donna, singing the word "horny".)

It's the last time she says "cause when I'm bad, I'm so, so-ho-oh-ba-ad", right before she starts "so, come on baby, dance that dance"... (the end's intro)

this is so so entertaining!!

Giving it a listen -at 4:35 - I think it's actually:

"cause when I'm bad, I'm so so whore-bad " ---- (shocked face, mr. green face)




oh dear, this from the woman who built a career out of moaning and moaning and ..... (tongue out )


******
I'm sort of confused though
....wouldn't a karaoke version be without lyrics ????

Last Dance

Tue, 15 June 2010 20:05:00 -0600

It has come to my attention there have been misinformed postings on the internet claiming that my performance of "Last Dance", which was recently used in a Wendy's promotion, somehow included questionable lyrics and there were two versions of "Last Dance", written by the late Paul Jabara. These comments are entirely false. I have performed "Last Dance" for many years, singing the one and only version, exactly as written. My original recorded version of this classic song was licensed by Wendy's from Universal Music. Any false representations to the contrary not only defame the memory of Mr. Jabara, but show a lack of care for the truth and respect for my career and the feelings of my audience.
I thank the public and appreciate your continuing, unyielding support. I look forward to entertaining people throughout the world for many years to come.

Fondest regards and love to all,

Donna Summer

I find it sort of amusing that Donna seems so indignant about an implied use of the word "horny" in LAST DANCE. Even if the word itself isn't expressly used , ... what does she think the song is about?

After all , the storyline here is of someone going into desperation at the realization that their night out is quickly coming to an end, and here it is , --- the last dance --- and they still haven't found anyone to hook-up with for after-hours events.

As the song explains:

Last dance
Last chance, for "love" (i.e. a romantic interlude, aka sex)
Yes, it's my last chance, for "romance, tonight" (i.e. midnight rendezvous , a one night affair , a romp in the sack, )

"I need you, by me,
Beside me, to guide me,
To hold me, to scold me,
'Cause when I'm bad
I'm so' so bad " ( something tells me this isn't about her skills at doing The Hustle )


repeat and repeat


Yeah, will you be my Mr. Right?
"Can you fill my appetite" ( & serving up a three-egg omelet isn't going to satisfy this kind of hunger )
I can't be sure that you're the one for me
But all that I ask is that you "dance" with me
"Dance" with me, "Dance" with me, yeah

Perfectly applied lyrics
that are perfectly Paul Jabara ... . who BTW I doubt would be at all squeamish about the word "horny" and would have been delighted imo had Donna done a second, more provocative, saucy-spicy, underground version of the song.

But even as is, there's nothing here to be defensive about .This is simply a hedonistic song from more (?) hedonistic times when it was OK to be so so bad. .This same message in the music can be heard when Cher one-ups Donna , blatantly projecting her horniness - begging at least fifty-seven times or so for someone to please "take me home" ! (" - forget the last dance!!" (tongue-out) )

I think she felt the need to respond because the Wendy's promotional CD was given out with the kids meals.

Even so, if someone is putting out an "untrue" statement, it makes perfect sense to have it clarified from the original source.
