Ike Turner on Safe Sex
See more » Music
The talented man who is sometimes only remembered has having been Tina Turner’s husband (she was only one of his fourteen wives) has a song with an - for Ike Turner - unlikely theme.
And so I’m treated to an a cappella rendition of one of Ike’s new numbers. It’s called Safe Sex, and “has a message”, as he rather unnecessarily puts it. “It goes: ‘Sex / I want it every day / There ain’t no-body going to take my sex away / Condoms is my best friends / Without condoms I ain’t gonna go in.’ Then they start the rapping.”
