Excerpt from a Herald A&E staff piece.
Chris Isaak, "Wicked Game"
After hours searching for the perfect love song, I knew after the first two notes that I'd end up writing about this one. The opening of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" makes me feel nostalgic, sleazy, and in the mood to roll on a beach with a gorgeous hunk of man—all at the same time! "Wicked Game" is the quintessential love song because no matter how much I'm tempted to hate it, I just can't. The lyrics perfectly encapsulate what it's like to fall for someone against your will: "What a wicked thing to do/To make me dream of you/And I don't wanna fall in love." I have an obligation to mention the song's perfect counterpart: a video in which Helena Christensen wears lingerie and bites her lip. Sed-uc-tive-ly. The rhythm and guitar are almost as hot as Chris Isaak in nothing but a wife beater. Rolling on the beach and getting sand in inconvenient places never looked so sexy. What a wicked game, Chris Isaak, to make me fall in love with this song.
