Sure it's as whiny as Grenade and It will Rain, but the music here is much better. It's like a pop oriented version of "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. However, with a line as blatant as "your sex takes me to paradise", how did this get airplay without the FCC fining Bruno for insulting their intelligence?
