What's On Tonight (Friday): Light the Cali Signal - Sex Worker with a Heart of Gold Alert!

Summer of 69

I got a real good Top Pick

Bout a girl wants sexy time

But she lacks experience

It’s called Summer of 69

She likes a guy at school

He’s cute and she’s crushing real hard

Has no chance, her hope is buried

She knows that she will never get far

But then she finds out how

That she can make him hers forever

69 is his choice

Yeah, but she’s not sure what goes where

Till she seeks a stripper's advice

Oh, yeah

And it’s called Summer of 69, oh

TOP PICK

⭐🎥 Summer of 69 (Hulu, 12:01 AM) 'An awkward high school senior hires an exotic dancer to help seduce her longtime crush before graduation, leading to unexpected friendship and lessons in self-confidence, acceptance and adulthood. Directed by Jillian Bell.'
