Men: Did you recently find yourself perusing the jumper aisle, debating which shade of salmon would best compliment your skin tone? If you squint your eyes tight enough, do you find yourself ever so slightly attracted to Jared Leto? Did you shed a tear when Rue died in The Hunger Games?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then the diagnosis is not good...
You have officially fucking lost your manhood!
And there is only one fix for this problem - Billy Squier!
Elevate your testosterone levels and unleash the man wolf within you with the help of Squier's hard rock anthem, “The Stroke,” taken from the 1981 album, Don't Say No.
Grrrrrrrrr, now come over here and give me a firm hand shake!
And rock out with your cock out to “Everybody Wants You,” taken from Squier's follow up LP, 1982's Emotions in Motion.
Doesn't he just make you want to EAT STEAK and PUMP IRON?!?
Congratulations. You are officially A MAN again. Feels good, right? Who the fuck needs EDM when you can get even more bro'd up with Billy Squire.
Lyrics to “The Stroke”:
Now everybody have you heard
If you're in the game, then the stroke's the word
Don't take no rhythm, don't take no style
Got a thirst for killin', grab your vile...
You put your right hand out give a firm hand-shake
Talk to me about that one big break...
Spread your ear-pollution both far and wide...
Keep your contributions by your side and stroke me,
stroke me
Could be a winner boy, you move quite well...
You got your number down...
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now
You put your left foot out keep it all in place...
Work your way right into my case
First you try to bed me you make my backbone slide
But when you found you bled me-- skip on by...
keep on---stroke me, stroke me
Give me the business all night long...
You're so together boy...
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now
Better listen now (said) it ain't no joke
Let your conscience fail ya, just do the stroke
Don'tcha take no chances keep your eye on top
Do your fancy dances you can't stop you just stroke me,
stroke me
Lyrics to “Everybody Wants You”:
You see 'em comin' at you every night
Strung on pretension, they fall for you at first sight
You know their business, you think it's a bore
They make you restless, it's nothin' you ain't seen before
Get around town, spend your time on the run
You never let down, say you do it for fun
Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
You give it all away - everybody wants you
You crave attention, you can never say "no"
Throw your affections any way the wind blows
You always make it, you're on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
You never realize what you do to yourself
The things that they see make the daily reviews
You never get free - everybody wants you
Everybody knows you
Everybody snows you
Everybody needs you, leads you, bleeds you
Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
You got your glory, you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
Say goodbye to conventional ways
You can't escape the hours, you lose track of the days
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
You never get away - everybody wants you
