John Duff, Forgotten How to F*ck | Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥

In the 71st edition of Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥 (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Forgotten How to F*ck” by John Duff.

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. We are talking about that after-dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 71st edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Forgotten How to F*ck” by John Duff.

“It’s been so long since I got some / Soon as you call, I’ll probably come.”  Something tells me, John Duff could’ve spelled the word come differently, given the context… He continues singing in the chorus of his bold, sexed-up song, “Forgotten How to F*ck”, “Dreaming of your touch without a glove / I think I’ve forgotten how to fuck.” Honesty is the best policy.  Interestingly, Duff wrote “Forgotten How to F*ck” during the pandemic in 2020.  But, he wanted to incorporate a big band sound, hence why the fun, honest cut sees the light of day in 2024. Incorporating the big band into the mix was well worth the wait.  It gives the song a refreshing, retro sensibility.

Because he hasn’t had sex in so long, Duff has forgotten how it works.  He uses Biblical/spiritual references throughout, believe it or not.  “Born again, baby / Born again and going crazy.” He adds, “40 days and 40 nights / Seems like they just flew right by / Am I saved? / Or just depraved?”  The lyrics play on abstinence and celibacy associated with Christianity, etc.  Still, he’s not quite Saint Peter: “Stay rock hard / Like Rock Hudson / Long for some lovin’, touchin’, squeezin’ / No hidden meaning.” Perhaps there is no hidden meaning but, Rock Hudson, one of the actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood, was gay, and died of AIDS at age 59.  Other intriguing lyrical moments include, “I’m not politically correct / But I’m literally erect / Just thinking about last season / When it was you and me.” The sexual innuendo is ripe AF on “Forgotten How to F*ck” and we wouldn’t have it any other way! The dashing John Duff and his team of producers (Koil PreAmple, Niko The Kid, and Eren Cannata) drop a hot 🥵 retro-pop bop.
