At my internship today, I was building a web page for the studio. It's for their "bookshelf" page, where there is a list of books that the studio owns about music and recording. They are also an affiliate of Amazon.com, and so what I'm doing is linking each book on the studio's page that is available on Amazon, to the page where you can add it to your Amazon cart. So I have to search for each book title on Amazon to check which ones they have. One of the books is called Good Vibrations: A History of Record Production. So I put the "good vibrations" main title in as my search term on Amazon, and I got... well.
Customers who searched for good vibrations ultimately chose:
1. The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex: The Most Complete Sex Manual Ever Written -- by Cathy Winks, Anne Semans; Paperback (Rate it)
Buy new: $17.13 -- Used & new from: $12.48
2. Good Vibrations: The New Complete Guide to Vibrators -- by Joani Blank, Ann Whidden; Paperback (Rate it)
Buy new: $8.50 -- Used & new from: $4.50
3. The Good Vibrations Guide: The G-Spot (Good Vibrations Guide To...) -- by Cathy Winks, Down There Press; Paperback (Rate it)
Buy new: $6.30 -- Used & new from: $1.97
I started laughing, and read the titles to the studio manager, who was working at the computer next to me. She was slighly surprised, but laughed too. Obviously I was fairly sure she wouldn't be outraged by me mentioning the words "sex," "vibrators," and "g-spot," or I wouldn't have shared the joke, but as it was, it was pretty funny.
I suppose I should have expected these results from anything with any form of the word "vibrate" in it, but I was completely focused on the "music books" project, and for once not even seeing the sexual potential in the words I was dealing with!
I said, "Well, when the music's good...!" And then thought about it, saying, "Actually, I suppose speakers really could be considered "vibrators," just by what they do, but I don't think we're going to be finding Genelecs and NS-10's listed in The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex manual!" We laughed some more. Nice to get along with co-workers and be able to joke about things like this!
