Such sex, much love, very music

Everyone likes music and a lot of people like to get it on. Why not combine the two? The Internet has opened the doors for suggestions and below you will  nd some of the most common ones that I came across.

Bump n’ Grind – R. Kelly

This one made a lot of top 10 lists. R. Kelly is among one of the most notable neo-soul/ R&B artists of the past couple decades and it’s unsurprising that his smooth voice and groovy productions would make for a good time. So long as you don’t play Trapped in the Closet as it has been scienti cally proven to kill the mood in a matter of seconds.

Why Don’t We Do It in the Road? – Beatles

Paul McCartney wrote this song after seeing two monkeys banging in the street while on retreat in Rishikesh, India. But we’re all primates so the song can work for us hominids too.

Armor Fati – Washed Out

Chillwave artists do just what their name suggests. Choose this song if you want to feel like you and your partner are  oating in some dream world or if you want to get into that ‘80s throwback mood. Either way, you’ll probably need at least one neon light in your room.

Tainted Love – Soft Cell

A classic tune and another great selection if you’re into that ‘80s chill vibe. You may be familiar with Marilyn Manson’s goth-y cover of it that gets played on the radio sometimes more than his original music but the Soft Cell version retains its age well.

Pushin’ Inside You – Sons of Funk

I came across this number after reading the song title and thought, “Holy shit this is going to be good.” My ears were not disappointed and the album cover profusely bleeds cheesy ‘90s R&B goodness. As most sex song lists are  lled with R&B tracks, it is evident by this point that almost any song in the genre will probably do for sexy time music.

Pour Some Sugar On Me – Def Leppard

Somewhere in the dive bars of London, On. the Def Leppard fans are waiting. For their time, Def Leppard was, along with their glam rock contemporaries, one of the sexiest bands out there. They snarled their way through the mainstream fad of loud guitars, reverb drenched drums, long curly hair and  ashy out ts with songs that lacked any sort of subtlety in meaning.

Light My Fire – The Doors

On the topic of rock music, we can’t avoid the captivating performances of Jim Morrison who propelled The Doors to stardom with his poetic and smooth vocal delivery. The Lizard King was powerless, however, without the instrumental backing of Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, and Robby Krieger, the group produced this edgy (at the time…) rock tune for fans to be  oored by.

Sail – Awolnation

Once again, the Internet speaks a great deal about this song. I’m not sure what the lure is exactly but it could be anything from the slow paced groove, the overlaying classical strings, or the melodic yet somewhat aggressive vocal performance.
