“I’ll be your G, G, G, / I’m game and I’m good at givin’ generously.” Ah, bring on Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot 🥵 at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. Yeah, we are talking about that after dark, bedroom boom $hi†, ya dig? These unapologetic records often raises both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 59th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, 🎵 “Pancakes & Butter” by 🎙 Jason Mraz.

In the case of this dedicated, love-driven song, the context seems to be waiting for that special person, not the result of, well, you know… Mraz penned this wonderful song alongside 🎼 ✍ Chaska Potter, Mai Sunshine Bloomfield, Molly Miller, Mona Tavakoli, and Becky Gebhardt. 🎛 Martin Terefe produces.

Mraz sounds utterly sublime from the start to finish of “Pancakes & Butter.” Believe it or not, the 🎵 “Geek in the Pink” is now 46 years old 🤯! Truly age ain’t nothing but a number because Mraz sounds as youthful as he always did – his voice is so pure. In the pre-chorus, Mraz offers the utmost dedication.  “If you need fire, I am your match / If you got an itch, I’ll be your scratch / Whatever you want, I want for you.” Aww 😍 – the feels, the feels, the feels! He offers similar sentiments in the bridge, which is a variation of the pre-chorus (form labels are interchangeable). Of course, where we get those pancakes and butter is the most glorious section of the song – the chorus!

Just like pancakes and butter

We complement one another

Like a full moon and a fantasy.”

Sometimes, that Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥 just hits different! There’s no explicit sex, but clearly, that romance is lit! This is definitely a sex song in the sense that it’s made for, well, matters of the bedroom! 🎵 “Pancakes & Butter” – so delish!
