My Music: Dupree, from You, Me and Dupree
FIRST ALBUM I BOUGHT/STOLEThe Rolling Stones, Exile on Main St.
I slipped this one out of a neighbor kid's record collection when he was in the bathroom. But let's get one thing straight I didn't steal this album. I borrowed it. And I swore I would return it when I was done. I just don't happen to be done with it yet.
ALBUM THAT MAKES THE LADIES DISROBE
AC/DC, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
When it comes to women, sometimes I like to take a non-conventional approach, just to keep it interesting. Instead of playing an album that will make them want to disrobe, I play one that makes me want to disrobe. If the ladies decide to follow my lead, all the better. But even if they don't, hanging out nude and alone listening to AC/DC ain't the worst way to spend an evening.
ALBUM THAT TURNED MY HEAD AROUND
The Beatles, The White Album (played backwards)
A baby-sitter played this backwards for me when I was 8. Scared the hell out of me. In fact, I'm still not quite sure what to make of it. Is Paul dead or not? If he's not, why would they say he is? I can't be the only one who wants answers, can I?
ALBUM THAT AN EX RUINED
Led Zeppelin I, Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV
Her name was Christine and during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school, we "did it" to every track on these four albums. And then one day, for no reason, she dumped me. I can still picture it: We're about two and a half minutes into "When the Levee Breaks" and she just puts her bra back on and says, "I don't think this is working anymore." Not working anymore? Hello? Didn't even have the courtesy to let the song finish. And to this day, the sound of Robert Plant's voice puts me in a cold sweat.
SONG THAT I SHRED TO
Young MC, "Bust a Move"
The title says it all. When it's time to rip it up, this is my soundtrack.

SONG THAT BRINGS ME BACK
Alannah Myles, "Black Velvet"
Nothing captures the feel of an early '90s strip club better than this classic. I put it on, close my eyes and I'm instantly in my early twenties, with a young girl named Cinnamon who claims to be working her way through college, grinding on my lap. Cinnamon, if you remember me I thought you were great and I hope you finally did get that diploma. And thanks for your leniency with the "no touching" policy.
ALBUM THAT ALWAYS SHOWS ME SOMETHING NEW
Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Whipped Cream & Other Delights
Never actually listened to the album, but I've been known to stare at the album cover for hours. Something about a naked woman covered in whipped cream that really gets my imagination going.
ALBUM THAT MAKES ME CRY
Evita (original cast recording)
This is the bomb. And don't settle for that lame '90s movie version with Madonna. Get the original. Then sit back, light some candles and let the genius of Andrew Lloyd Webber wash over you. I don't know why, maybe it's because I've been to Buenos Aires, but when Eva Perón starts singing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," I break down like a little baby. I feel bad, because she's asking us not to cry, but I can't help it. Eva, forgive me.
ALBUM THAT I TOTALLY HATE
Led Zeppelin I, II, III, IV
See above for explanation. Thanks a lot, Christine.
SONG THAT ALWAYS COMES ON WHEN I'M WASTED
Tone Loc, "Funky Cold Medina"
No explanation needed. You're either down with it or you're not. If you are down with it, call me. Especially if you're female.
You, Me and Dupree opens nationally July 14.
