Posted by Schroedinger's cat (# 64) on :

I recently saw one of these buzzfeed-like quizzes about "what is your sex song" - which is pretty tacky in itself. However it made me think "what songs should on the list of possible choices?"

So this is not about "what is your sex song?" - I really don't need to know this. It's what songs need to be on the list.

I will start with
All by myself
John Cage's 4'33"
All night long (Lionel Richie)

What else?

I'm sexy and I know it ?

Posted by Sir Kevin (# 3492) on :

Whole Lotta Love (Led Zep) - v. suggestive!

Oh - I almost forgot Brick House (Commodores, of course.)

They are one of my favourite bands; I once built a drum kit for them for a corporate function and I was allowed to hear them rehearse!)

Lots of good versions of this one, but I'm gonna go with this one by Billie Davies. Mostly because I think she's cute, which enhances one's appreciation of this sort of song.

Two songs unfailingly command my sexual attention.

First,-- "Time Out of Mind" by Steely Dan (yes I know it's all about shooting smack, but the sound is Sex.)

More appropriately-- late eighties slow jam, "Don't Disturb This Groove." By The System. Ohhh. [Hot and Hormonal]

No-one's brought up "Hallelujah", esp. as sung by Leonard himself (not by people who are too much into the singing to make the point. Lookin' at you, K.D.)

Posted by The5thMary (# 12953) on :

Dormouse: When I was twelve and first heard "Brass In Pocket", I got mixed up about some lyrics. Seriously mixed up. She sings, "Gonna use my arms. Gonna use my legs.Gonna use style
Gonna use my side step..."

Well, I thought she was singing, "Gonna use style, gonna use my sausage" and that creeped me out so bad because I thought she was saying she had a penis or a dildo. Years and years later I found out what Chrissie Hynde was really singing and had to laugh...but I still intentionally sing it wrong now because of my childhood mistake. And singing about one's "sausage" is a pretty good case of sexual innuendo. Or culinary prowess. [Big Grin]

Posted by The5thMary (# 12953) on :

Did anyone mention Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop"? One of my friends didn't know what that song was about and seemed shocked when I told him it was about masturbation. Poor guy.

Love songs are two a penny and a little too genteel for this thread. Let's hear it for the songs that have innuendo, explicit invitations, or suggestive moaning.

I'll throw in Rod Stewart's "Do ya think I'm sexy" (to which, back in the day, a few thousand teenage girls had only one answer).

Alright then, I suggest Because The Night by the Patti Smith Group (the link is to an acoustic version from a few years ago), and Will You by Hazel O'Connor, with the most breathtaking saxophone solo ever.

Posted by Sioni Sais (# 5713) on :

I was waiting for someone to mention saxophone soloes. Does anyone remember the "Red Shoes" series of soft-porn that Channel 4 screened years ago? They were the most formulaic programs ever and you could set a stop watch by them: I think the saxophone music started at about 23 minutes and lasted until one party or another lit a cigarette, dressed or dozed off.

ps, the sax music was uniformly awful. Elevator jazz. If Jamie Cullum played sax, it's what he would play.

Really? Depends on the day.

In 1971 when Rod (as singer with The Faces - remember them?) appeared at Watford Town Hall he personally was booed. The rest of the group got wild applause - hardly surprising bearing in mind this was the line up with Ronnie Wood, Kenny Jones and Ronnie Lane - but Mr Stewart was not received with universal acclaim.

The support act was better but the evening was not helped by a series of power outages and a lengthy power cut meant the gig finished early.

Which also makes me think of Hatfield & the North's "Share It"--bottom line, Richard Sinclair is a perv.

Maybe it's the performer's androgynous appearance, but in this particular clip, he does seem to be having a rather libidinous effect on the boys crowded around the piano. One guy seems pretty desperate to lay hands on him.
