If you were around during VH1s countdown-show heyday when series like I Love the 90s aired on heavy rotation, you may recall D-list celebrities waxing poetic about their favorite songs from the era (read: exchanging snarky remarks about every tune).

Its on a show like this I havent mentioned the title, because I cant, for the life of me, remember which one it was where Sophie B. Hawkins mercurial music video for Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover came up on the dial. The commentators fawned over it, with good reason.

It is an arresting, animalistic 4 1/2 minutes of Hawkins writhing around on the floor in a cloth material perfectly haltered around her chest and cut as a bikini bottom. The music video also features a blending of ethereal bodies all while the singer-songwriter belts out raw, passionate lyrics about lust:

If I was your girl believe me / Id turn on the Rollin Stones / We could groove along and feel much better / Let me in / I could do it forever and ever and ever and ever.

Then, in a literal record-scratch moment, one of the commentators says something like, I think the song is about a woman. The camera pans to another commentator, flashing one of those dont-look-at-me faces, before they abruptly move on to another subject.
