"Would you like me to seduce you? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" These questions were made famous by Anne Bancroft in the film "The Graduate" in 1967. However, George Michael incorporated them in an evocative way in his song, "Too Funky" in 1992. Not only was this song absolutely seductive, but his video was insane. George Michael took every hot 90s model and basically used them to sell sex in his videos. The best part was, he used famous designers as well, like Thierry Mugler, to design the garments for the models to parade around in on the catwalk. Who could forget Emma Sjöberg wearing this motorcycle style corset with rear view mirrors? Just absolutely sexy. This image remains in my head since I was 12 years old and I think the idea of sexual enhancement as a function of clothing goes something like this.
According to YouTube: "George Michael - Too Funky - Release Date 1992 Number 2 In The Uk Charts - From The Album Red Hot + Dance - Red Hot + Dance is an album produced by the Red Hot Organization, an organization dedicated to raising money and awareness to fight the onslaught of HIV/AIDS.Pop star George Michael was instrumental in bringing the project to fruition and the album was notable for featuring three new songs by him."
