Great, you want to get married. Better ask the parents. This song from summer talks about a boy asking his in-laws whether he can marry the woman he loves, and the father denies him — rudely.
And with a wedding comes the wedding night — that special occasion where a married couple connects intimately for the first time. The song shows how special a moment this night can be. He describes how no matter what pains may come, a relationship is certainly worth having.
You both flirted, got together, broke up, got back together, got married and had kids. Apple Music just launched. Here is a perfect playlist for your next date night. Here's a playlist that can help your kids do better in school.

African American Heritage Hymnal African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal If you're not listening to it now, smack yourself in the face and Google it. It's just that important. I am singing the phone book. You are weeping like a tiny baby. Over pounding drums and a soaring melody, Heart sisters Nancy and Ann Wilson deliver a primal tribute to the one true romantic fantasy shared by every living being on Earth: picking up an unnervingly attractive man for one night of mind-blowing sex and then releasing him back into the wild to bone — but never quite as compellingly ever again.
Counting the days since. The relationship in "All I Wanna Do" seems too good to be true. And it is. Because it's not an equally loving ,or even equally lusty, pairing at all.
Good at recognizing no-win situations and delicious with lemon?! For a while, things are humming along just fine, like any wholesome, illicit, anonymous affair should:.
Sure, many of us might hesitate to pick up a strange leather-jacket-clad man standing on the side of the road for a no-strings-attached screw, but our narrator just has a feeling about this guy, and sometimes, you gotta go with your gut.
But then, without warning, the song starts to sound less like an all-time great romance and more like a story men's rights activists tell each other as they vape around a campfire:. I'm not a poet. Symbolic language often eludes me. But unless "flower," "seed," "garden," and "tree," suddenly mean wildly different things in the context of human reproduction than they have since sex was first invented in the earlys, we're talking about a surprise, non-mutually-consensual pregnancy!
Of course, metaphors are opaque, interpretations vary, etc. You might be tempted to think, "Maybe Heart meant something else by that. One: The narrator of the song is recently-deceased Jerry Orbach from this creepy New York City subway ad from nine years ago:.
Photo by eyedonation. Cool, so this all makes sense and is in no way the nightmarish scheme of a deranged sociopath who has now wrecked not one but two lives. The best you can say about that is that it's not technically illegal, and that leather-jacket man probably should have been responsible for his own birth control. Or, at the very least, asked more questions. It's not romantic even the Wilson sisters themselves agree.
And at the end of the day, the shadiest character in this song is somehow not the rain-soaked hitchhiker wandering to nowhere in the night. You know, that guy? That guy! As catchy as "Candy Shop" is, as fun it is to dance to, and as cathartic as it can be to scream in the middle of a crowded fraternity house at 2 a.
The lyrics are The beat is kinda basic. The hook is like the music they play when Abu Nazir sidles scarily by in "Homeland. It doesn't get played much anymore. When it does resurface, it feels It's not a song you'd put on a mixtape for your crush. It's not a song you'd play for your spouse when the kids are at home with the babysitter and you've got nine hours to tear up the Piscataway Hampton Inn.
It's certainly not a song you'd include on the video photo montage you made for your grandparents' silver anniversary. You wanna back that thing up or should I push up on it? The bass drum hits. The MIDI violins whine. The singer starts filling out his fellatio permission slip. It's only been 20 seconds, and you're already getting ready to hang it up with "Candy Shop.
But then Go, cunnilingus doves, go! Rather than simply imposing his desires on the person he's with — a la the dude in "God Only Knows "I'm going to invest my entire sense of self-worth in you! But here's the key thing : the lady on the receiving end of those desires?
She's clearly into it. And we know this because she says so. The lines of consent in "Candy Shop" are bright red, highlighted, and soldered into the weirdly sticky club floor. Meanwhile, Robin Thicke is outside trying to convince the bouncer that his uncle is a lawyer.
No matter how nasty they freak, it will be intimate. It will be private. There will be no revenge porn the epilogue to " Blurred Lines ," to wit, would definitely be a protracted, emotionally devastating lawsuit. Sexual compatibility is key to the survival of any relationship, whether years, weeks, or very possibly in the case of "Candy Shop" minutes long. She may have a high sex drive, but dude is graciously offering to accommodate her. What a gentleman! These crazy kids just might go the distance after all.
Thanks, Obamacare! The "Candy Shop" guy is a keeper. Because he's not a hero or a stranger in the night or a funky, shimmering love god. He's a good partner. But when you strip away the swagger, the back beat, and the weird strings from "Best of Public Domain Middle Eastern Music ," by the end of the song, both people are satisfied.
And at the end of the day, isn't that what a healthy relationship is all about? Anthony Sampson has understood the value of mentorship since he was a young man. Growing up in Houston, he had a mentor who helped him see the importance of volunteering and giving back to his community. By the time he graduated from college and settled in Dallas, he knew he wanted to share some of that wisdom and experience with the next generation.
The organization matches Black male mentors with mostly young Black men to help them live up to their potential and contribute to society. By building character and producing leaders, Black Men works toward improving the whole community. According to Sampson, strong mentorship can help young people develop the skills they need "to understand how to deal with issues in life from a positive perspective.
Kynsington Hobbs is one of them. Now a senior in high school, Hobbs began a mentorship with Anthony Sampson when he was He says working with Sampson changed his perspective of what success can look like in the African-American community, especially for kids who don't have dads in the picture. Hobbs says attending a Black Men conference several years ago helped him truly understand the organization's motto.
Jackson Session describes his mentorship with Anthony Sampson with similar enthusiasm. Session first connected with Black Men his junior year of high school when a school counselor recommended he join the organization's trivia bowl team. He began attending Saturday leadership meetings with Sampson, and eventually asked if he could intern in his Allstate office. Sampson hadn't hired a mentee before, but he took a chance.
Courtesy of Anthony Sampson. Session credits Sampson with teaching him to present himself professionally and with helping him get a scholarship from the national Black Men of America organization. Sampson is one example of thousands of Allstate agents and employees making a difference in their communities.
In addition to supporting agent and employee volunteerism, for almost 70 years, Allstate has supported communities through The Allstate Foundation, which partners with leading organizations and local nonprofits to address some of the most pressing issues facing society.
The Foundation's efforts include empowering youth, breaking the cycle of domestic violence and supporting non-profit leaders, with an overarching purpose of advancing equity. This Fall, in time for back-to-school season, The Allstate Foundation teamed up with education crowdfunding platform DonorsChoose to launch a new Racial Justice and Representation category on the site, making it easy for donors to help fund teacher's classroom projects focused on increasing diversity in curricula and creating a more inclusive environment.
From buying books written by diverse authors to providing materials for anti-racism education, donors can directly support teachers working toward racial equity.
These funds support teachers who — like Sampson — are serving as positive mentors helping students succeed. To support classroom projects that promote racial equity, go to DonorsChoose. Pete Davidson, 27, has earned the reputation as one of Hollywood's most prolific ladies' men for dating some of the most beautiful A-list women over the past three years. However, there are a lot of people out there who don't understand the "Saturday Night Live" star's appeal.
Davidson is tattooed from head to toe. He suffers from Crohn's disease, has done multiple stints in rehab, describes himself as looking like a "crack baby" and only recently moved out of his mother's basement on Staten Island.
But he's also been one of the most popular cast members on "SNL" for the past seven years and co-wrote and starred in the critically acclaimed, "The King of Staten Island. Here's a brief rundown of Davidson's romantic ties over the past few years.
Davidson and the pop megastar revealed they were in a relationship at the end of May and quickly got engaged. The pair called off their engagement and broke up in October after just five months together. The two were caught kissing at a New York Rangers game in January , but the pair broke up that April because Davidson had to go to rehab and Beckinsale was busy making movies. Davidson and the "Once Upon a Time Her mother, Andie McDowell, called their flirtation "nice.
Four months later, the couple broke up while Davidson was dealing with addiction and mental health issues. Davidson and the "Bridgerton" star saw each other for about six weeks, but things eventually soured because Dynevor was geographically undesirable. Davidson and Kardashian were spotted holding hands while riding a Halloween roller coaster together, leading some to believe they were romantically involved.
However, Page Six sources say they're "just friends. Obviously women find him very attractive. Guys are like, 'Wow. What's that guy got? He's lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good!
It's hard to find them. Beckinsale recently affirmed a similar statement about Davidson by liking an Instagram post that read:. If you're in a relationship with someone, you're just supposed to make that person feel as special as possible. The fact that women everywhere are in love with Davidson actually says something pretty awesome. It goes to show that even in the glamorous world of Hollywood there's something irresistible about someone who's funny, attentive, vulnerable, charming, down-to-earth and loves his mother.
As a kid, Jamel Holmes knew he wanted to be a teacher. He would spend rainy days giving spelling tests and playing math games with other children in his apartment building in New York's South Bronx. But throughout elementary school, Holmes never had a teacher who looked like him. It wasn't until seventh grade that he had his first Black male teacher—Mr. In some ways, he was lucky. Teachers of color make a difference, which is why education nonprofit DonorsChoose has teamed up with The Allstate Foundation to support them.
An analysis published in Education Next also found that Black teachers tend to have higher expectations of Black students, which contributes to greater success. Diversity in teaching helps white students, too. Educational laboratory REL Northwest found that white students with non-white teachers develop better problem-solving and critical thinking skills, expand their range of creativity and social and emotional skills, and increase their sense of civic engagement.
A joint initiative from DonorsChoose and The Allstate Foundation offers individuals and groups opportunities to help bridge racial gaps in the classroom. For one, The Allstate Foundation will match all donations to teachers of color who are using DonorsChoose to crowdfund projects for the first time.
DonorsChoose has also partnered with The Allstate Foundation to launch a Racial Justice and Representation category on the site, making it easy for donors to help fund classroom projects focused on increasing diversity in curricula and creating a more inclusive environment.
