Song for the Soundtrack of Your Date Tonight

You’ve got that Friday night make out place in your back pocket. The place you go into without a date, but you almost always leave with a freshly-minted date. A hot one.

A warm hug after a long, cold, winter’s day’s for sissies. You’re cool. You’re ice, ice baby. You tell ’em, Aretha.
