It is 30 years to the day since Genius of Love came out. And every year on this day, Mariah Carey sends 100 white roses and a bawdy limerick to Tina Weymouth to express her appreciation. (Not really.) http://youtu.be/-9d9FA3fCf4

I want to shag all morning.” “I need the loo, and I’m starving. Is there room service?” “Oui. What do you fancy?” “Surprise me. Should we …
