    "comment": "Another song on which Sylvester sang backgrounds.\n\n\"We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off\" was written by Narada Michael Walden and Preston Glass.  \n\nThe single seemed to reflect more modesty when it came to sex in light of the AIDS pandemic at the time.  In 1988, Stewart was interviewed by Donnie Simpson where Stewart spoke of the lyrical message within the song. \"I think it made a lot of peoples' minds open up a little bit. We didn't only want to just talk about clothes, we wanted to extend that. We wanted to use the song as a theme to be able to say you don't have to do all the negative things that society forces on you. You don't have to drink and drive. You don't have to take drugs early. The girls don't have to get pregnant early. So the clothes bit of it was to get people's attention, which it did and I'm glad it was a positive message.\"  https://bit.ly/3o0URae",
