Some famous dead guy said that “music has charms to soothe the savage beast” and while I’m sure that’s true for some, I find that music often can AWAKEN the savage beast within me. The savage beast that wants to hump. I’m not sure if it’s just me, because I do love music the way Kanye loves the spotlight, but there’s something that seems to link listening to music to making me want to ride the disco stick of whomever is closest to me. OBVIOUSLY that would be The Daver, now that I am married, but I see the allure of clubs: alcohol + hot music + sexy people = one-night stands. The plot, of course, thickens when you think of those pesky things like STD’s and pregnancies and all those other variables, but that is not what I am here to talk about because that would be a Debbie Downer.
(that would also be a run on sentence, but who’s counting?)
No, today, I want to talk about songs that get our motors running, ready to head out onto that highway. And so GOD help me, if any ONE of you say that it’s that “Steppenwolf” song that makes you horny, I am totally disowning you.
Christina Aguilara, “Dirrty.”
I make no apologies for my unabashed love of pop music, although I can practically hear thousands (okay, all twelve of you) of you clicking away from hear disgustedly unsubscribing from my main blog. Shh, it’s okay, don’t worry, the way I hear it, not ALL of the contributors shamelessly love pop music the way that I do. Besides, I don’t think that listening to Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees” is going to get anyone in the mood to make sweet love the same way a thumping bass line will.
Anyway.
Dirrty has it all: suggestive lyrics like, “Oooh sweat dripping over my body, dancing getting just a little naughty, wanna get dirrty (oh, oh!).” It has a rhythmic bass line that makes even the crappiest of dancers (meekly raises hand) want to get up and shake my moneymaker. And if that isn’t enough, the video, which, if I remember correctly, caused a lot of controversy, (controversial videos usually mean that they are full of The Awesome) is really, really hot.
Prince, “Gett Off.”
Prince gained popularity back when I was still in elementary school, so it’s pretty safe to say that I didn’t jam out (with OR without my clam out) to his music until I was safely in high school. But once I found it, I found his choice of inappropriately dirty lyrics to be an inspiration for the rest of my life. No, really. Not like in a “you are the wind beneath my wings” way, but in a “holy shit, people can TALK like that” revered-way. I’m in shock and awe of the way that this tiny man from Michigan of all places can put words together. Like the impish purple man’s music or not, you need to respect him (while you remember that he is the one who actually penned “Nothing Compares 2 U,” easily the best break-up song of all time).
At my personal pinnacle of songs about The Sex is his tune “Gett Off.” It’s not a sensual ballad or anything, so if you’re into songs to make sweet, sweet love to, this is probably not something that would interest you. But this is a song to put on when you’re all about getting hot and heavy and grinding your hips and generally making an ass of yourself while you dance. And it leaves me wondering, o! wise readers, are there really only twenty-three positions in a one night stand?
Various Artists “Lady Marmalade”
Going from someone who has an absolute brilliance with words to someone who doesn’t, the first thing I eloquently said when I heard this song was, and I quote myself, “What the FUCK is this?” Followed with a “Turn this fucking bullshit off.” I know, my eloquence astounds you and brings a tear of joy to your eye. Please, wipe them off, you’re embarrassing yourself.
It was the Labelle version and I was in high school and I don’t know what I was thinking, to be honest because the next time I heard it a couple of months later, it was NON-70’s artists covering what I now consider to be a damn fine song (BOTH versions). I found someone to translate what they were saying in French and when I found out it was some variation of “Will you sleep with me tonight” well, buddy, I was OVER THE MOON. It was like I’d won the lottery or something. My girlfriends and I all thought we were all quite clever and Continental in the way that only 18 year old girls can when we’d say it back and forth to each other and laugh uproariously.
Kids, man. What can I say?
The song is about a sexy Creole seductress who works her magic on a man from the street, and he’s so moved by the experience that can no longer sleep at night. What could be sexier than a hot one night stand with a mysterious stranger? ESPECIALLY if the music video for the newest cover of the song has four of the hottest singers that even I would have hot monkey vagina sex with. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)?“
Fuck oui.*
Now some of you may be sitting back and saying to yourself, well, now, Aunt Becky, there was NOTHING on that pitiful list (but BOY are you long winded) that got my panties wadded, because I’m more of a Gregorian Chant/Sax on the Beach/Corrosion of Conformity kind of person myself, to which I would say, of course not. And then, the next logical progression of that conversation would be this: so what is it that does get you In The Mood?
* That’s French for “yes.”

Those songs had no effect on me at all. (Sitting in my Dirty bedroom trying to Gett Off in between sips of Magnolia Wine)
I like NIN, Pretty Hate Machine, the whole album, the whole thing makes me completely crazy, and reminds me of when I was a scandalous teenager.
Dubious, you’re cracking me up. And Kelly, I thought at first you were referencing the Downward Spiral NIN album. Pretty Hate Machine is a GREAT album. Seriously good shit, right there.
Okay, this dates me, but “Layla”, by Eric Clapton, the electric version. OMG! Been known to hump the gear shift when it comes on the car radio.
This is a good one.
Depends on what mood I am, I think, although “Wicked Games” gets me a little wet almost instantly.
By your Side, Sade, is also awesome.
But sometimes, you just need Prodigy and some kinky stuff. Smack My Bitch Up, maybe?
I’m sure it will come as no surprise that I like sexy, romantic music. My albums of choice would be Sade’s “Lovers Rock” and Sarah Mclachlan’s “Afterglow”. Oh, and the song “La Sirena” by Feist is ssssseeeexxxxxyyyy!
See, I love “Wicked Games” but only for the video. My friends and I used to make fun of the song.
oooo COC, now that’s good fucking music.
not necessarily good music for fucking though, i will say that.
anyway, how about some trance/house/triphop stuff, like massive attack, or tricky?
Oh! Massive Attack, never thought about that. That’s some good stuff right there.
Um… I over analyze music too much for it to be considered sexy. It’s a blessing (because I don’t have to worry about popping a boner while grocery shopping) and a curse (because having music on while making out with the wife is distracting).
Popping wood in the grocery store is such a fucking drag.
Nice compilation, chica. My own personal playlist for gettin it on also includes “Feelin’ Love” by Paula Cole and “Red Light Special” by …TLC? MMMM HMMMM….Gotta love some shit that includes lyrics about a wet t-shirt and la nips.
I must admit a long-standing affinity for Prince’s “Darling Nikki.” I just ooozes sexy and I’m fairly sure you can fuck to the rhythm.
Not that I would know.
Is that Elvis?
I have long over analyzed (well over a decade) this particular topic, going so far as making a compilation cd to which I lost my virginity. TLC was on it with “This Is How it Works” as well as Toni Braxton’s “You’re making me high” and NIN’s “Closer” … These days my husband knows exactly what I’m looking for when I turn on Lenny Kravitz’ greatest hits.
Dirrty is an all time fave of mine. I loves me some Christina. But, sex music…got to be Savage Garden’s first American album. Very clubby, very driving rhythm. Not at all the image of them as sing song longing music pedalers. Makes you consider buying one of those dildos that vibrate along with the music…or really big speakers…whichever.

This is the vibrator you are thinking about. Hook it up to your Ipod and get busy.
http://toywithme.com/vibrators/naughtibod/
I am neither a fan of men who: A) weigh less than me and B)are shorter than me, but GODDAMN is Prince fucking sexy!!
And the new lady marmalade song *is* a pretty cool compilation.
Pink is amazing! Did you happen to catch her performance on this year’s VMAs? Her trapeze act while singing “sober” was one of the most amzing things I’ve ever witnessed! Hot!
Well, besides the naked jungle dancing music you know I crave, I have to say I’m going to put you on a wayback machine (BTW, I was graduated when Prince was HUGE–ugh). I’d have to say, “Givin’ him something he can feel” always did it for me. These days, with as much time as hubs and I spend apart? Elevator music can make me wet…
Prince, see, he’s like this magical non-fuckable elf who oozes sex. In a room alone with him, I don’t think I could have The Sex with him. Honestly, I don’t think that I could. But damn, can he get a girl in the mood.
My list of songs that make me instantly think of sex is really long. But, at the top of that list is Rebel Yell. Even better when the husband sings it to me…(And it totally doesn’t matter that I was a mere infant when the song was released)
This post also reminded me of a guy from my past. He would routinely bring home random girls and blast R. Kelly (before he got caught being creepy) when he tried to get in the unsuspecting girls pants. It still makes me chuckle.
Okay, Rebel Yell is hot as hell. I loves me my Billy Idol and that song is hot.
Me and the hubs can’t do sexy time to music – something about getting to focused on rythms and being frusterated when you loose the beat (ok it’s just me – Clint likes to clap to the music off the beat).
This may show just what a dork I am, but back before doing the sexy these are the songs I would have chosen
“Shoop” and “Push It” by Salt N’ Pepa
“You Make Me Wanna..” by Usher or
“I want to sex you up”…color me badd (bad is more like it)
Before I was married, I listened to a lot of music. Also I had a lot of Teh Sex (sometimes at the same time). Back in the day I had a sex mix-tape and everything. (Hubs threw it out – the bastard.) Here are some of my favs: Closer, Justify My Love, Get Off, I Want Your Sex, Father Figure, Let’s Get It On, Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Sex Type Thing, Into The Mystic, Sex and Candy, Sexual Healing, Wicked Game, Let’s Stay Together, Darling Niki.
I had a roommate who always did it to Innagadadavida.
I’m PRETTY sure that we need to turn this list into some sort of rockin’ mix CD now.
OH yeah…LOVE that Ipod toy….
I can’t decide how ashamed I am to admit this, but in addition to your original list, Buttons by the Pussycat Dolls, Bump N Grind by R Kelly, and Too Close by Next (that one may not seem familiar, but listen to it for 4 seconds and you’ll remember) really get me in the mood….
Great post!
I love Too Close by Next!!! Damn, I love all these songs. Sex mix-CD? Totally had one, back when I too had The Sex. Now I have The Rabbit. Sigh.
The Rabbit nearly broke my vagina. Well, I called it “The Beaver Twister.” But still.
Cream by Prince.
Barry White anything. Barry White Reads Tax Law would do it for me.
I want your sex, George Michael.
i am sure there are lots more that i can’t remember. however, due to PMS and exhaustion and children i have not had any Meat Stick for a while so i try not to think about sexy songs. we can’t afford any more broken doorknobs.
Damn, damn, damn, damn – I’ve read this whole post and have these songs running through my head and my husband is going to be at work all frakkin’ night…might be a B.O.B. night.
Dude. You guys are making me all Hot and Bothered.
“The Dolphins Cry” by Live.
“The Vampire Song” by Concrete Blonde.
Pretty much anything by Depeche Mode. Oh, and the entire soundtrack of Queen of the Damned.
I get a little goth when I’m feeling sexy. Shut up.
So, um, Prince. I *LOVE* Prince. Say what you want, but that is one sexy, tiny, brilliant, little man. My favorite is “Kiss.” Love that song. You sexy motha-fuckaaaa.
I’m not a big “music while doing it” chick, particularly if it was done to set “the mood.” Nothing kills a good boner for me like R&B.
This is a tough one since I am currently in the process of regrowing my hymen, but I would have to say anything by David Gray gets me going.
Hubby isn’t much of a music-in-the-bedroom kind-of guy . . . he tries to keep the beat, gets all flustered, and is off before the song even ends. Awesome.
I once dated (and I used that term loosely) a guy whose life ambition was to have sex to Led Zepplin’s Dyer Maker. My guess is he is still working on that ambition.
Okay, I will probably be laughed at here because I haven’t seen da’ blues listed at all. But here goes…
My man and I will go hours, stop to change CD’s and go back to it. Some of our favorites –
John Nemeth – Love me tonight CD
Keb Mo – Suitcase
Enigma
And if we are drunk and want to get a little rough we go with NIN.
By the way, first time visitor – love the site. It’s late. But I will be visiting in the morning – a little erotic reading with my coffee to get me going in the morning. Toywithme = new favorite site!
Gasp!! The Queen of the Damned soundtrack! Manda, you evil genius, I’d totally forgotten how hot that was. I’m heavily into soundtracks, though. As you’re about to see.
I thought His Royal Purpleness was from MN? Whatever… God help me.. but “When Doves Cry”, G’n'R’s “Rocket Queen” and “Pretty Tied Up”, a couple of songs off of The Jackal soundtrack, oddly enough, Massive Attack IS brilliant, Rihanna and that Maroon 5 dude with “If I Never See Your Face Again” or something to that effect (much to my surprise) and HELL yeah for “Lady Marmalade”, (forgive me, but… ) The Miami Vice soundtrack – for the MOVIE, not the tv show, and if long and slow and wine and romance is the goal vs rabid fucking, then the Message In A Bottle soundtrack. Long wknd at the beach in a big bed is what that album is *all* about.
Well, lately, I want to screw as soon as I hear the Kings of Leon. That boy’s voice oozes sex. Old standby sex songs would be most anything Garbage, mainly because I want to be Shirley’s lover; Paula Cole’s Feelin’ Love; Portishead’s Glory Box; Johnny Cash; Eminem and Jay-Z.
Oh, hell, I’m easy. Music is all about sex.
Just about anything by Dave Matthews works for us. Slip in a live album, like the one from Folsom Field, and, yeah, that’ll work . . .
“Process of regrowing my hymen.” Bwahahahaha! There’s a lot of people who will pay a pretty penny to break it again, yo!
Music doesn’t do it for me, unless I’m drunk and then YES.
“I Love My Bitch” by busta Rhymes Brah ha ha ha (sorry)
My husband is 8 years older. If I put on Briney Spears, or Xtina his unit would go into hiding that not even Eva Mendes could help.
we do it to Led Zeppelin
Kashmir, Black Dog, All my Love, Whole Lotta Love etc.
I loved Prince until he did that silly name changing thing.
Loved the Christine Aguilera song. Personally I like anything with a good beat, anything hard. My current fave is (no stars for originality) Kings of Leon “My s*x is on fire”. I just have to hear that song and I start oozing across the sofa to the man. Anything slow and croony is a bit naff and doesn’t do it for my inner bad girl. As they say, it’s the quiet ones you need to watch out for because I look like a first grade school teacher.
Anything by Prince. High up on the list of things I’ll never understand in life: how a five foot two eyeliner and spandex wearing, often falsetto singing little man can be such a fucking turn on. It must be as simple as, he’s a fucking genius. Also from the Diamonds and Pearls CD, “Cream.” And pretty much all of Purple Rain. In case you didn’t know it, The Beautiful Ones was the one he wrote just for me.
Oh, and how could I forget, the soundtrack from Twin Peaks? I hated that weird-ass pretentious show, but my old boyfriend threw that CD in one night and oh, my Lord. That CD is big guns in the getting into the pants arsenal.
The Gipsy Kings – anything they do makes me wanna . . . well, you know, I just wanna. The thumping Spanish guitar.
I love your choices & there’s are a couple more I can think of: Madonnas “Justify My Love” has to be in theere somewhere as a great pop song to get you in the mood. I also like club hits like “Only The Sun Rising” by the beloved.
But for music to listen to while enjoying some physical passion you cant beat Enigma “MCMXC A.D” – orgasm for the ears surely!
Dude. ENIGMA.
*scampers off to iTunes*
Prince is most def’ from the land of 10,000 lakes aka Minnesota and
I am a big fan of his song Pussy Control, it’s a moist maker!
the only thing i ever learned to say in french, aside from the lyrics to lady marmalade, is “eat me raw with a fork.”
my pronunciation is terrible. =)
