This guy and I were 18, had been dating for a few weeks, and planned to have sex for the first time together (his first ever time). I strung Christmas lights around my dorm room and I cued up my Buena Vista Social Club CD—excellent for love-making.
However, the cd was burned when my computer was dying. To minimize cds used to save my music (before external harddrives), I put an album on a cd followed by some random songs.
Everything was going great, but, sure enough, Buena Vista ended. Here are the songs that came on after:
1. Lesbian Seagull, from “Beavis and Butthead do America;”
2. “Oy to the World,” a Klezmir christmas rendition;
3. This silly song friends and I wrote with me singing;
And best of all…
4. An a cappella version of “The Lonely Goatherd” from the Sound of Music.
That one was actually first. I figured getting up to change it would be more disruptive to the deflowering than was worth, so I just hoped he didn’t notice. I’m sure he did. Surpisingly, we even had sex again a few times that year!
