I used to think there was nothing more dirty than the lyrics to "Closer". To this day I find it slightly shocking when I hear it come across the radio.

I checked it out! Sounded different to what I expected (though I wasn't really too sure what to expect to be honest). Yeah it certainly is up there with its explicitness...but then you're kinda surprised with the sensitive last line in the chorus 'you get me closer to God.' I think that's probably intentional. The video is pretty interesting too, apparently got to no. 1 on a 'VH1 Classic 20 Greatest Music Videos of All Time' poll! Certainly seems to be just as controversial as the lyrics, a monkey on a crucifix is in there somewhere.

Id say the one song that got me was twisted transitor. I never knew what it was about until I got old enough and realized. I used to have the song on my MP3 player!!
