I'm not sure boredom (Al Green) or loneliness (Fontella Bass) are the best foundations for a serious relationship, but they’re such a big prize that Pixies' Black Francis is willing to throw all the “whores from his bed” to have one.
There is a more sophisticated and mature way to go about these things, as Rubel and Show of Hands do. *sniffs* Paul McCartney sounds pretty romantic asking to hold a girl's hand, Carol Hall just wants a walk on the beach (don't they all), and Jessie Ware croons of a lovey dovey life with her fella - if he's serious, that is.
If those approaches don’t work, you can go cruising fast food checkouts with George Clinton or call shotgun in Hank Williams’ hot rod Ford. He’s got $2, but it wouldn’t hurt to chip in for gas. Have you seen the prices these days? Just leave it parked. Carly Rae Jepsen's neighbour got her attention without leaving his yard. Nice butt and frugal, too? Roarrrrrr.
Or enter the danger zone of drinking establishments at night. If Joni Mitchell doesn't spot your fat roll of cash, you might get hit on with invites to go home with Ida Maria and get naked or to touch Lias Saoudi's leather. (Get a few in you before watching his Fat White Family video. Trust me on that one.)

B-List?
No B-List, sorry. But your nominations would definitely have been on it. There’s so many worthies, but these are the ones I want. I'm kind of a Dorian-type traditionalist. Anyone driving to Abergavenny?
Guru's Wildcard Pick:
Nick Drake - Come Into The Garden
This is one of those old English folk songs that morph into many derivatives. I found it digging deeper into shouts by TarquinSpodd and severin, and would A-list it if I was legally allowed :)
