I know very few things. A ridiculously small amount of things, to be honest.

But I do know this:

Listen to Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” if you want to know what raw human anticipation and excitement feels like. It’s all right there for you to hear in his voice.

In fact, Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” can make anything seem like the most desirable thing in the world.

For example:

Want to make chocolate candy sound delicious? Use that song to to suggest it. (Hell, maybe women hear that song in their minds every time they have a chocolate craving.)

It can even make Dr. Evil look like a ladies’ man.

Put this soundtrack to the background of a Plan Now.org commercial featuring poor children suffering from smallpox-and I’d probably want me some smallpox.

Who needs alcohol? Play this at the club, and watch the mood change, both men and women will become sharks on the hunt.

Play this over the home room intercom in any high school, and I’d bet kids would even want to learn to read good, and do other stuff good, too.

So, it’s only fair that it should be the soundtrack to the anticipation I am feeling to see Brian Kelly’s first Notre Dame squad.

Too bad the wait comes first.
