Do you like cheese? Are you susceptible to lyrics about romance and love-making belted with utter sincerity? Are you even comfortable with the term “love-making”? Do you swear by the sort of ’80s adult contemporary that you hear in drug stores? Have you ever owned silk underwear? Does the name Chris de Burgh mean everything to you? Is there a wedding playlist saved in your phone that you update with frightening regularity? If I told you Bruno Mars recorded an album that sounded like a middle school dance, would you know I meant that as a compliment? Do you still bump and grind? Did one of your parents have a perm when you were conceived? When you listen to "Calling All My Lovelies," does the low-end piano chord struck before Bruno wails “neeeeeeeds a hoo-ooo-mmmmmeeee-yeeaahh” vibrate you? Cool—you know what it is. —Ross Scarano
