(Charms of the male body, plus a striptease song, so not to everyone’s taste)
A Daily Jocks e-mail ad in my mailbox today, with this beautifully composed male figure:
[AMZ caption:] Let me entertain you … I’m very versatile
The actual ad copy (offering 35% off):
Missed out last time? Our once a year Long Johns sale is happening this weekend at DailyJocks.
These Helsinki Athletica Long Johns have SOLD OUT completely during the previous 3 seasons so don’t miss out!
Made from premium modal which forms to your skin for ultimate comfort, whilst showing off your best assets.
My original idea was to do a burlesque of the lyrics from “Let Me Entertain You” from the musical Gypsy — which has become a kind of striptease anthem, instantly evoking bump and grind. Having studied these lyrics for a while, though, I’ve decided they really can’t be improved on as a commentary on Helsinki Long John Dong. Never tamper with perfection (especially if it comes from Stephen Sondheim):
Let me entertain you
Let me make you smile
Let me do a few tricks
Some old and then some new tricks
I’m very versatileAnd if you’re real good
I’ll make you feel good
I’d want your spirit to climb
So let me entertain you
We’ll have a real good time
Yes sir!
We’ll have…
A real good time!
About the song. Very briefly, from Wikipedia:
“Let Me Entertain You” and “May We Entertain You?” are two songs from the musical Gypsy. The former is the more popular [striptease] reprise of the latter. “May We” is performed by [adorable kiddies] Baby June and Baby Louise, while “Let Me” is performed by [the smokin’ hot adult ecdysiast] Louise. The song was written by Jule Styne (music) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics)
