Sexiest Pop Song Ever?
What do you think is the sexiest pop song ever (not classical, jazz etc.)? I'm a guy, so I'm pretty much scanning through the portfolio of female pop music over the last 40 years or so. I can point to some sexy Kate Bush tunes (Wuthering Heights), Joni Mitchell (take your pick), some good stuff from the female singers of Zero Seven, Carly Simon, Christine McVie, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross et. al.
For me the song that gets my testostaroni going is "Sarah" by Stevie Nicks, off the Tusk album. The opening keyboards and her angelic voice do it for me like no other. When she sings the line about "undoing the laces", well it doesn't get any sexier to me. A truly great song.
Now what's yours?

If you've ever "really" heard it. Art of Noise: "Moments in Love" Up until about the 7 minute mark it is probably unintentionally the sexiest song ever. Those who know, know what I'm talking about. It is the one of those songs that could literally play FOREVER on an endless loop and be OK with me. (minus what happens between the 6:50 - 7:10 time stamp) |
"Crash Into Me" by Dave Matthews is very hot. Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me. Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me. Oh, I watch you there through the window And I stare at you You wear nothing but you wear it so well Tied up and twisted, the way I'd like to be. For you, for me, come crash into me. |
OK I'll go with "Look Of Love" by Dusty Springfield for general honors. "I Touch Myself" for straight out pop song with the lewdest title and theme that many have heard. Honorable mention to "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak. How about" Physical" by Olivia Newton John or the "You're the One that I Want", as performed in the movie "Grease"? |
If we're talking female singers then as far as new music I would have to agree with Shirley Manson, and also add Amy Lee (Evanescence). And this may not actually be "pop," but the one song that really makes me melt is "On My Own" as sung by Frances Ruffelle (London cast recording of Les Miserables). |
Eerae, Try this one - it is sexy but also so sadly beautiful Imogen Heap Banket The song is about how music is her escape from the world. So nice to watch Tal on bass - what a talented lass. Although Vinne is amazing - I would have preferred Jeff to have hired Cindy Blackman for drums and let Imogen play keyboards -which would have him backed by extremely talented all girl "sidemen"!!! |
Try "I Need Love" by LL Cool J. Seriously. Some years back, I saw Luka Bloom do an acoustic cover version in concert that - judging by the reaction of the women around me - must get him endless action. Marty PS - in a related vein, "Tonight I'm Gonna Give The Drummer Some" by Amy Rigby. She used to be married to the drummer Will Rigby (The DBs). I gather that Will liked to bitch about the rock drummer's fate (only guy in the band who can't get laid - Tommy Lee excepted), so Amy wrote the tune. More funny than sexy, but close enough. |
I am pretty fond of Julie London signing just about anything such as "Yummy Yummy Yummy" which features the lines "Love, you're such a sweet thing, Good enough to eat thing. And that's just a-what I'm gonna do" or you can enjoy her singing "Go Slow" where she delivers the timeless lines "Go slow, ooh honey, take it easy on the curves; When love is slow, ooh honey, what a tonic for my nerves. Go slow, ooh honey, we've got such a lot of time;" at the end she whispers "You Make Me Feel So Good". And then there is her amazing take on "My Heart Belongs to Daddy", where she delivers the lines "If I invite a boy some night. To dine on my fine food and haddiem I just adore, his asking for more" in a way that doesn't leave much to the imagination. |
I concur with Mcrosier regarding Julie London's recordings. I have 12 of her lp's and essentially all are heavily laced with her sensual singing. Another contender from that era is Abbe Lane with "Lady in Red" and "Where There's a Man." In more modern times, Charlotte Gainsbourg's "5:55" has multiple songs that are sung in a provocatively breathless manner. |
Joan Osborne's, "Right Hand Man". Great melody, great lyrics, fabulous sonics. (Plus, when you've finished listening to that you can also listen to "One Of Us", one the hookiest songs ever... written by Eric Bazilian of The Hooters whose album "Nervous Nights" might very well be the hookiest album ever) |
Any warm blooded vinyl loving audiophile gotta perk up for This Classic which is NOT about what what all the rest thought it was! |
Don't know how "sexy" this is, but I could listen to Angie Hart of Frente sing the phone book. |
