Is that the one where he's on the BIKE? Because if it is I am pretty sure I also knocked out QUITE A FEW to that one...
 
Yes, Più Bella Cosa is probably my first memory of getting MTV Europe on cable TV, and I don't think I've ever seen a man look so perfect before or since. Utterly transfixed by his lips and tongue.
