I read Obie’s most recent post about his intense passion for Loverboy’s quintessential anthem, “Lovin’ Every Minute Of It”. I find the early 1980’s music is inspiring and uplifting and definitely suited to such important things as corporate culture, recruiting, and motivating the troops to do better. Yes, nothing gets a worker working better than a little Loverboy right in their ear.

Yet, I feel that this rendition is sadly not up to the task of helping Obie in his quest to explain to outsiders just what an important and relevant impact Loverboy has on the world. The important part of “Lovin’ Every Minute Of It” is obviously the lyrics. There needs to be a version that showcases the fine lyrical talents of whatever corporate writer Fairbain was able to acquire. Such gems as:

I got fun, You want some,
I'm ever ready DR. love,
I'm antennae aerial,
I'm tuning in my control, Whoa

with it’s subtle reference to robot love, masturbation, and teledildonics tightly wrapped in a single bridge and demonstrating a keen sense of rhythmic prowess by closing out the tension created by “control” with “Whoa”. This bridge (one of many in the song, where other’s might have a single bridge) also manages to hint at the robot’s erection directly, but without such crass language as you might find in a rap album today:

I got a cock
I'm ready to roll
It's hard like a rock
Now suck it robot bitch!  I'm in control, Whoa!

As we can see, the “gangsta” rap version of the same lyric, while clearer, doesn’t have the same nuance and depth of teledildonics understanding as the LEMOI lyric.

Because of the overwhelming importance of this song to Obie, Hashrocket, and Vancouver, I present to you my rendition on ukelele which features the Loverboy-Fairbain lyrical genius prominently.

You may partake of an Ogg Version or a larger and clearer MP3 Version and begin your road to true Lover-FanBoism.
