Prompt: "A song about masturbation"
Selected by Pam
"You're Makin' Me High"
Toni Braxton
Secrets, 1996
Toni Braxton is one sultry diva. This gave me a good excuse to revisit this album. This song was definitely a hit in its day. That and "Un-Break My Heart," from the same album. I was like, yea, I think I remember this song... turns out I know all the words. Must have been hammered into my brain from repeated viewings with Carson Daly via TRL. I rewatched the video to this song, which has some very dated images of the internet and email, along with cameos by a few funny ladies of the time. She only really mentions "the act" once in the song, but the whole song is kind of about her thinking about this sexy man. I don't listen to Toni Braxton enough.
