“S&M” - RIHANNA

“Well, I do have a list of songs I really want to do [on Glee]… I’m afraid to say them out loud because I don’t want anyone to laugh at me [to] my face. “S&M” is one of them, by Rihanna. So I really hope I get to do “S&M” by Rihanna. I will go on record saying that. I would love to get my chains and my whips out and have a good time.” [x]
