IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY “A”: TO THE RHYTHM OF THE BEAT… You know how to move. Almost perfect.
IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY “B”: ROCK & ROLL, BLASÉ BABY! You go your own way and don’t want any trouble. Live and let live and all that, but you know what? You could be a bit more empathetic. JUST SAYING.
IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY “C”: LOVER & SINNER, YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO LOVE ME. That’s right, and there’s nothing more to add, your honour.
