Sexual Healing

Ha! Got your attention, didn’t I?
I shared this true story with a friend yesterday, through email. He thought it was funny and said it would make a good blog. So I’ll try it out on all of you!
This happened about 10 years ago, our kids were teenagers.
We (our family) went out to eat after church one Sunday, at a favorite Chinese restaurant. On this particular day, something new! A man was playing piano and singing. He offered to play requests too. He had his tip jar there of course, and sang mostly soft rock, romantic hits from 70’s-90’s. He was pretty good.
Then he unexpectedly broke into an old song…Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing”. Ha! “When I get that feeling, I need…sexual healing. Sexual. Heeeeaaaaaling…” The restaurant got quiet. People just awkwardly looked at each other. A few giggles. Then everyone just went back to eating and talking, and he continued his lovely song…..
To me, it was just one of those funny, awkward life moments/memories.

  1. Kaybee, that’s so funny! That’s same song I was singing along to one day when I realized my kids were growing up.. They asked what it meant.. Geez was I embarrassed. lol… What do u say to that one? I think I just said, idk and quickly changed the station…. haha

  2. What are the chances of a restaurant full of patrons all stopping to listen to a song? Was it located beside a Nympho Anonomous meeting site? Funny if they had all shared their business cards and left. sorry…I am just being silly.

  3. Kaybee that’s so true and great to see the funny side, a few side glances knowing what everyone was thinking, and by the way I was impressed the way you held the second note on the ‘Sexual. Heeeeaaaaaling’ fantastic, perhaps you could sing it to us all one day. lol. Its all about getting it right at the time. Not like my nans funeral who choose wish me luck as you wave me goodbye as a favourite, not a good idea, I hope you know the song, its a British war time favourite, not being British and far to young you may not know it, and please don’t ask me to sing it, and thanks for the tale it made me laugh.
