BIG Q CASSETTE CLASSIC
SAMANTHA FOX
TOUCH ME(I WANT YOUR BODY)
I went to broadcasting school in 1988. One of the other students was straight up addicted to porn. I never new that was a thing, but it was real for this kid. He had a girlfriend and everything. Turns out she also liked porn. Now he seemed somewhat normal, that is to say as normal as a person can be who wants to get into radio. We got along fine at school, then one day we decided to go for lunch. He asked me to pick him up at his apartment. I knocked on his door and he let me in. He was talking to his girlfriend on the phone, and when I say “talking” I mean in the dirty way. I was instantly uncomfortable and signaled to him that I was leaving. He held up the 1-minute finger so I started walking into another room. Mistake. It was the porn room. He had some of the raunchiest magazines I’d ever seen just laying around open. WTF! Or Why The Face? He walked in after hanging up on his lady friend and said
“You need to see this.”
“No I do not!”
He then proceeded to explain that all the porn advertising in back has pictures attached to it, and that these people would steal any picture of any hot girl they could find. He opened up one said picture and I was suddenly looking at Samantha Fox, who just a year earlier had a huge hit on the radio. She was asking me to call her if I wanted her to talk dirty to me. He said I could look through all of these magazines, she’s in damn near all of them. I told him that I was good, and that I believed him. We then went to lunch, and I never walked into his home again. Although I did dig out my cassette that had Samantha Fox on it. Yep. Good times.
It reached number 4 on the charts on Valentines Day 1987, which seems fitting, and is one of my Cassette Classics, for more than one reason. Samantha Fox, “TOUCH ME(I WANT YOUR BODY)
