Skye Sweetnam's Willing To Share Her Boyfriend

Music certainly has been getting around lately. First, it had a naughty dalliance with The Hidden Cameras, as documented in the band's song, "Music Is My Boyfriend." They washed music's dirty underwear, music drank their pee, and music kept them singing until their dying day.

A couple of years ago, music also became involved with a young band from Brazil named CSS. Clearly, the relationship became all-consuming, leading the group to declare that music was everything from their boyfriend to their great granddaughter to their king-size bed in "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex." At first, this relationship remained somewhat secret and was generally only known by hipsters. But a recent Apple iPhone commercial featuring the song outed the couple to the mainstream.

In the middle of this hubbub, a third paramour has stepped into the mix. On her new EMI album, Sound Soldier, Skye Sweetnam also lays claim to the charming gadabout. In her "Music Is My Boyfriend," she details a raucous and intimate pairing that even makes her blush.

Sweetnam was aware of music's romantic entanglement with The Hidden Cameras when working on her song of the same name, but figured that there was room for both of them in music's life.

"When I wrote 'Music Is My Boyfriend,' I searched 'Music Is My Boyfriend' because I was curious if anybody else had used that before. I had never heard it before. And at that time, when I wrote the song, there was only one other thing that came up. It was actually a song by a guy who happens to coincidentally be the son of a woman at my old church that my parents go to. Her son wrote it, but he's gay [we're presuming this is the Cameras' Joel Gibb]. So it's this gay 'Music Is My Boyfriend.' It's more of like, it's a very explicit, kind of risque song about music being his lover or whatnot. So I just thought, 'Oh, it's not been done in the way I'm thinking of it, necessarily.'"

Sweetnam didn't find out about music's other girlfriend until the iPhone commercial, which, coincidentally, came out around the same time as her album.

Sweetnam doesn't seem too bothered by the news, though. She's even amused by the fact that people are confusing her with her fellow musical mistresses.

"Ever since the commercial came out, people have been going, 'Oh, I love your song in the iTunes commercial,'" she says with a laugh.

Most importantly, Sweetnam understands that music can't be tamed by one love, and she accepts that. "Music and I have an open relationship. I think music can't be hogged by one person."
