Rachid - “Sweet Charity” If you’re like me, you just love songs about sperm donation. And I think you’ll agree with me that Rachid’s “Sweet Charity,” from 1998’s Prototype, is the best of the bunch. The song features flawlessly produced R&B grooves replete with vocoder, achey falsetto and just the right amount of melisma. But it’s the lyrics that really stand out here. The singer is in a waiting room preparing to…give freely of himself, but he thrills at being able to do so without the aid of “girly magazines.” All he has to do is think of his beloved, and—presto!
“I really must admit
It’s so lovely when you spit
When I think about it
I can make my deposit.”
Now who wouldn’t melt at having that whispered in your ear? “You’ve always inspired me,” Rachid croons, “to give to strangers in need.”
Consider this my gift to you. Enjoy.
