No one can forget the three-note spoken word "yeah yeah yeah" intro to Ginuwine's slinky R&B ballad "Pony" - delivered in a voice so deep that, in contrast, Barry White sounds like a cartoon chipmunk.

The "yeah yeah yeah" loop continues through the entire track as a sort of bizarre bass line - over which romantic devil Ginuwine croons lines such as "If we gonna get nasty, baby ..." and spins out several verses wherein sex is described in equine metaphors that would make the hooved creatures on a stud farm doubly proud.

Well, Saturday is Valentine's Day, and Ginuwine headlines "An Evening of Love" in the Grand Theater at Foxwoods. Also on the bill are RL (from Next), Jon B., After 7 and Silk. Intimacy will abound!
