What is the ultimate slow dancing song?
“Nights in White Satin,” by the Moody Blues. The meaning of the song is completely irrelevant — the song was made to slow dance to. “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton is also a fine slow dancing song, but when you actually listen to the words, it’s about a guy who gets drunk at a party and has to be shoveled into bed by his wife — hardly the stuff of great romance. Carole, beacon of Joel Furr’s existence and the radiant star who guides him through the day, feels that the ultimate slow dancing song is “Lady in Red,” by Chris DeBurgh (better known as the guy who sang “Don’t Pay the Ferryman”). She may have a point.
