A Love Bizarre
Album: Romance 1600
Year: 1985
Sheila E. is immersed in an exciting affair in the sumptuous “Love Bizarre.”
A dashing saxophone opens the single, setting a regal tone. In the intro, she calls out the notes for the band to play. They spent the evening looking at the stars and divulging unexpressed fantasies. On the way home, they have sex in the limousine.
In the chorus, she says everyone wants to have an impulsive relationship where the rules do not exist.
In the second verse, she says she has an innocent eroticism and a longing to connect to him. They break social taboos by indulging in their sexual need for one another in romantic, often unrealistic public settings.
The chorus is sung again.
The fetching drums have a solo.
The first verse is sung again.
The chorus is sung twice.
The saxophone trills a couple times during the fetching drum solo.
The chorus is sung three times.
An exertive guitar has a solo.
The chorus is sung twice to close the single.
Sheila E. jet sets across New York with her wealthy beau. They eat dinner on rooftops, travel the city in a limousine and have sex whenever, wherever they feel like. It’s the most freeing relationship she’s ever been in. She knows it’s temporary but she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Her rhapsodic vocals are red with humming sensuality. She’s blooming into the desirable woman she thought she would be.
The song includes one of the best written expressions of eschewing proper behavior. The second verse is a triumph and possibly alludes to racial norms (note: the reference chosen was the ivory tower)
The luxuriant, conceited arrangement shares spotlight. Each instrument has a chance to be shown off. However, it after about the third time, the instrumentation is redundant.
The divine “Love Bizarre” is top-notch R&B dance.

“A-B-A-B-C-D/The moon up above/It shines on upon our skin/Whispering words that scream of outrangeous sin/We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams/It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine.”
In the chorus, she says everyone wants to have an impulsive relationship where the rules do not exist.
“That's what we are/We all want a love bizarre/That's what we are/We all want a love bizarre.”
In the second verse, she says she has an innocent eroticism and a longing to connect to him. They break social taboos by indulging in their sexual need for one another in romantic, often unrealistic public settings.
“ A strawberry mind/A body that's built for two/A kiss on the spine/We do things we never do/Swallow the pride and joy of the ivory tower/We'll dance on the roof/Make love on a bed of flowers.”
