RECENT UPDATE: To whomever emailed me somehow anonymously-You picked two of the most awesome songs! Bush cornered two of the Top 5 with "Mouth" and "Swallowed". Damn! Those songs do seem to have some kind of effect. Now next time, just comment on the stupid post, will ya? XOXO
I was sent an interesting article today by a friend that seemed so ridiculous at first...until I really started thinking about it. The gist of the article was about how music affects different centers of the brain, and that the music that we listen to is really our soundtrack to sex. I know. It sounds totally crazy. Then as I read on, I started to think about the kinds of songs that make a person feel sexy and amorous. Okay, what I mean is that I started to think of the songs or music that puts me "in the mood." Being that I appreciate order, I decided I would make a list of the top 5 songs that made me want to get down and dirty. Now, I'm going to put them here, of course, but you can't judge because then I want you to tell me yours and why. Call it an experiment of sorts. Of course, I also think these things change, but I'm willing to post my "right now sex songs". Here's my current Top 5, in no particular order:
Possession-Sarah McLachlan (This song is so sexy. It's probably been on my list all along...even before I knew I had a list.)
Want To-Sugarland (I love this song. I love this band. This song does make me want to.)
Anything ever done by Dave Matthews (I mostly want to have sex with him, but damn his songs are all pretty sexy in my opinion.)
Your Body is a Wonderland-John Mayer (OMG...that's about all I can say, and I think it's enough.)
Anything by Maroon 5 (I find their music incredibly sexy, and so I couldn't pick just one.)
So I put it out there people, and I hope you'll share with me your thoughts on this idea...and your songs.

"Over The Rainbow" by Judy Garland. I'm getting horny just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. Not only does it foreshadow the post-coital estrangement, but I also have the outfits.
ReplyDeleteDyck-That's the only one? Come on...you?!
ReplyDeletePuerileuwaite-Ahh..well without the outfits, would it really work?
The Smurf's song always makes me want to lay much pipe.
ReplyDeleteI have one fantasy where I'm Mark Foley - the Republican Congressman from Florida - "getting it on".
ReplyDeleteFor that, it's Bob Seger's "Turn the Page".
TFG-I'm not sure I remember that song. Sing it for me...
ReplyDeletePug-LOLOL You are so clever!
I'm sorry, I can't swallow that theory. The last series of tracks I just listened to were so random it couldn't possibly revert back to sex.
ReplyDeleteMy Chemical Romance > White Stripes > Dixie Chicks > Missy Higgins > Eminem
Also, I don't like listening to music during sex, unless it is lyric-less.
Interesting theory, nonethless.
(I was singing Your Body Is A Wonderland to my other half the other night; she'd never heard it before and loved it -- so maybe there is some validity to it all)
Orhan-I understand your skepticism...believe me.
ReplyDeleteI mostly like to have sex to any kind of song that involves clapping because I like to feel like I'm being applauded for my performance.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that Possession song about some stalker guy who was writing her creepy letters?
Ryan-LOLOL Applauding you? LOLOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you are right about that song, but the music and the way she sings it...I still think it's sexy.
Oh..and because I'm a stalker.
Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back...makes me want to pump the junk in my trunk!
ReplyDelete"Possession" is an incredibly sensual song for sure. I think it's a mix of her voice and that rhythmic beat.
ReplyDeleteI think Sade's "No Ordinary Love" is one of the sexiest songs ever made.
Depeche Mode - "I Am You"
ReplyDeletePrince - "Cream" or "Get Off"
AC/DC - just about anything
Lords of Acid - "Rough Sex"
Blue Man Group - just about anything from them, too.
Jenny-LOL Of course!You like big butts and you cannot lie!
ReplyDeletePhoenix-OMG, I totally have to add Sade too. That is a GREAT song.
Ima-Welcome! And I am a big Prince fan. Depeche Mode is great too...and I just thought of another one: Nine Inch Nails "Closer to God"
Hmm.. not sure about music, but I'd say the door opening, clock ticking, pan dropping.. yeah.. pretty much anything.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm just not as complex as the study would like to think.
Now if its music during the process... well, I keep a few different iPod playlists for that.
Redline-So what's on the playlists? You gotta tell!
ReplyDeletesorry, trade secret.
ReplyDeleteSince I've posted it before, I'll give you one song from the "takin it slow" list.
John Mayer - Gravity - Continuum
Oh..that's a good one too, Sgt. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnything by John Denver.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, I meant Trent Rezner. I always get them confused.
Jenny-Closer to God is both scary and sexy...I'm not sure why. Perhaps therapy would help me figure it all out?
ReplyDeleteNo Rocky Mountain High then?
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hon!
ReplyDeleteShit I'm going to have to actualy think about this and then get back to you.
ReplyDeleteBut OMG Dave Mathews "Crash into me" gave me "funny feelings" when I was like 14 and to this day I too would like to get it on with him. What is WITH that guy???
Jenny-Dial 1 900 Mix-a-lot and kick those nasty thoughts!
ReplyDeleteLindygirl-I KNOW! Dave Matthews is like...well, I don't know, but I'd consider being a groupie for just him. Yum...
Mmmm......Kashmir by Led Zep, who I really don't like, but that song gets my motor revvin' more than any others.
ReplyDeleteBut you have a point there with NIN's Closer to God. Yep. That'll do.
"Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin? Sure, I loves me some Zep. But the line: "All I see, turns to brown ..." makes me worry about the type of filthy unhygenic sex that may be taking place.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks.
I'll stick with "Easy To Be Hard" by Three Dog Night, thank you very much.
Hi Sassy :)
ReplyDeleteKnow what be cool.. get all the songs your commenters like to getting it on with, and then make a play list for all of us to download and we can all let ya know how it went...lol
Cruiser-Interesting choice, sister! And yeah, NIN...wow.
ReplyDeletePug-Ah..Three Dog Night. I do know who they are, and I do know that song. LOL You are too funny!
Patti-Hey that would be fun! BUT I don't know how to do that! Maybe if someone emailed me with the directions, but I'm pretty much a tard about how to get stuff onto the blog and such.
That flea market song from Revree's blog got me a little frisky.
ReplyDelete"Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw?" by Buffet. I'm a romantic who prefers the direct approach...
ReplyDeleteDr. Ken-It does have that certain something, doesn't it?
ReplyDeletePatti-LOL
Brant-Ohhh yeah! LOL That's a great song, but it makes me laugh. That might not go over so well.
Oh wait... I thought we were sharing our most successful pickup lines. Never mind.
ReplyDeletePugman - it's not the words, it's the rhythm. Tsk.
ReplyDeleteDid I just read on Sgt's blog comments that you hurt yo-self? What? Should I send over an ice bag or a really good looking male masseuse? Your choice.
ReplyDeleteCruiser-I think I've got it under control. Yes, I hurt myself and that's why I know about sports med docs across from Presbyterian Hospital. LOL Thanks for the concern!
ReplyDeleteBaby got back!
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected, CruiserMel. Who knew that rhythm AND sex could coexist?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I almost forgot My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello.
Not sure why (well, I have a clue) but I don't find any songs sung by men to be sexy. only those sung by women. And there are too many to list! :)
ReplyDeleteDan-Whatever it takes, right? lol And I didn't say you had to sculpt the top five in stone...just give us a few! ;o)
ReplyDeleteOk the Dave Matthews song "Crash into me"
ReplyDeleteGodsmack - "Voodoo" He has this deep sensual sway in his voice that .. well shit I don't know but it works.
Etta Jones - "At Last" Well at least that one makes sense.
LeAnn Rimes - "How do I live"
Randy Travis - That for ever and ever Amen song
Shania Twain - The "From this moment" song (or cry if I'm alone cuz I'm a HUUUGGEEE sap)
I'm a hor it doesn't take much to inspire me.
Lindygirl-Good choices, sister! I love that Etta James song too! I thought of another one too:
ReplyDelete"Careless Whisper" or "Father Figure" (which is creepy but the song has a sexy vibe) from what's his name. I'm a 80s child, what can I say?
George Michael??
ReplyDeleteI get what you mean.
Sassy B - Hope you're getting better from your injury. Do we have a funny blog story to tell, and by we, I mean you.
ReplyDeleteCruiser-Not blogging about this one. The risk of humiliation and reliving the pain are just too much. ;o)
ReplyDeleteRevree-Yes, I see your point! That's why I said the list not only changes, but it expands...
ReplyDelete"Feelin Love" by Paula Cole. My husband and I call it "The Dirty Song". It completely fits.
ReplyDeleteOO! OO!
ReplyDeleteNickelback - "Animal"
Grrrrrr that one get's me ALLL riled up and dirty feelin. FOR. REAL.
Actually almost that whole album get's me riled but THAT song in particular. MMmmmmmmmmmm GRRRRrr.
awwwwa! I want to pick one too! I'm having such a hard time with it. All I keep coming up with,(and it really turns me on) is the sounds of other people getting it on! Am I a sicko or what??? Why can't I just pick a damn song!
ReplyDeleteVan Halen - I can't wait to feel your love tonight
ReplyDeleteDave matthews - Lover Lay Down
Faith Hill/Tim McGraw - I need you
Also I highly recommend a song by samantha mumba called something like "to you", but I can't find it on Itunes...
Mo-Good choice!
ReplyDeleteLindygirl-LOL Is that the only one? Somehow, I doubt it...;o)
Patti-Pick some damn songs already! Don't be coming round here no more until you do! ;o)
Carly-Nice...
ATG-Get your damn computer fixed and maybe you will! Besides, everyone likes music and sex. I chalk up the comments to that.
For me, only one kind of music comes to my mind: Spanish gypsy guitar instrumentals. Yah, baby, yah.
ReplyDeleteJanet Jackson
ReplyDeleteThat's The Way Love Goes.
Do Ya Feel by Right Said Fred.. Ever since I first heard that one.. OMG!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like Savage Garden's Truly Madly Deeply, too.
NIN's Closer to God.. whoo yeah!
Depeche Mode I Want You Now
