Outlandos d'Amour is an excellent choice and one of my all-time favorites. My 11-year-old self spent countless hours singing out loud to what is perhaps the catchiest chorus the band has ever put together:
"Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my
Be my girl"
The object of my desire, however, was not "Sally," the inflatable doll, but Sting, the hunky lead singer who often lost his shirt during performances. Just like that, I had my first crush, even before I was sure that I was gay.
