I always thought it was "whispers, kisses and beer." maybe it was the name of the song that made me think it was beer.

I'm sure it's "whisper kisses in my ear". Love this song, Kim sounds so hot!

Very Close BigChillRob. Crazy on you is a song by Heart and another song Dog and Butterfly (Druken Butterfly?) Eitherway, somehow taken from some heart song some lines were.
