Love Me Like You Dooo-ooo-ooooh

...Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire
I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head's spinning around, I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?...

Ooh yeah.

So. Quantum leap. I'm a big Train fan. Here's a fun article for all of us who thought that Pat Monahan weaves random, funky phrases into his songs because they fit perfectly in the spot- rhyming and rhythm and all that. Well, they aren't actually that random!

Train’s Pat Monahan Explains Some Of Their Most Iconic Lyrics

Saturday 9: Careless Whisper (1984)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) You can't miss George Michael's gold hoops in the photo above or in the "Careless Whisper" video. Are you wearing any jewelry right now?
My anniversary ring, a bracelet and my dangly flower earrings.

2) Though the label says this hit is performed by "Wham! featuring George Michael," George Michael is the only member of the pop duo who appears in the video. Do you remember the name of the other guy who was in Wham?
Andrew Ridgeley, of course!

3) Much of the video was filmed on Watson Island, a man-made island near South Beach. Have you ever been to Miami? 
I have been to Miami twice- once with the fansite gals (parrrty bus!!) and once for a day and night with friends before we left on a cruise together. Both trips we stayed in South Beach.

4) Born Georgios Panayiotou, George Michael is of Greek descent, the son of the Greek restauranteur in East London. When you think of Greek cuisine, what comes to mind?
Gyros. And spanikopita and baklava.

5) Today he lives in a tiny suburb called Highgate, and his neighbors are Kate Moss and Sting. Tell us about one of your neighbors.
One of my neighbors... actually a few of my neighbors on my street are professional musicians in Austin-based bands.

6) George Michael fans can purchase officially licensed merchandise from his website, including an iPhone cover with his photo and signature. Tell us about your cell phone. Is it Apple or Android? Is it a smartphone?
I have an iPhone 6.

7) George Michael sang Stevie Wonder's "You and I" for Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton. What's your favorite love song?
"Come What May" from Moulin Rouge

8) In 2014, George had a health scare. He was rushed to the hospital for tests and released the next day. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance?
When I had a pulmonary embolus (or mystery lung blockage, still debated amongst the docs) and passed out at Walmart, they took me in an ambulance to the hospital. I also rode with Lauren when she was transferred from the Seton ER to Dell Children's Hospital with a very severe infection.

9) Known for hard partying in his youth, George is now in his 50s and says he's quite happy to spend his evenings eating takeout and watching DVDs. Are you doing any socializing this weekend?
Kathy and I are hanging out downtown tonight.
