What is your top sexy song?


Mine is, without a doubt, Feelin' love by Paula Cole.  Heard it again yesterday.  It had been a while.   Heavy lyrics.

Good one @tomcarr, written by Randy Newman. His recording of the song may be found on his Sail Away album.

 

 

Dang @immathewj, another great one! In "Right In Time" Lu is very direct in her expressing her desires, ain’t she?!

And hearing "Hot Blood" always brings me back to those early shows I saw, with Gurf Morlix on guitar, Donald Lindley on drums (now RIP), and Dr. John on bass. Last time I saw that lineup was at The Troubadour. Lu was playing a big ol’ acoustic guitar, with a music stand sitting directly in front of her. On the stand was a 3-ring binder filled with 8-1/2 x 11 pages of paper, each with a song on it. As she and the band finished one song, she turned the page to the next song. Adorable. wink

 

 

@immatthewj: Thanks for the reminder of Lucinda's "Essence", a fantastic pick. Her singing on the song is absolutely salacious (on the entire song, but especially when she sings "Please come find me and help me.....get f*cked up"), with lots of double entendre lyrics.

And musically the song is a deep, deep Bluesy Rocker. One of my very favorite songs of hers, and I've been a fan since seeing her live in the mid-80's in very small venues around Los Angeles, then getting her s/t Rough Trade album when it was released in 1988.

For a more romantic rather than sexual song, her "West" is as good as it gets. The song also features superb drumming by Jim Keltner (big surprise wink). On the same album (West) is the sweetly romantic "Where Is My Love", which brings me to tears with every hearing.

 

 

@jomace: "Baby Let Me Bang Your Box" made it to San Jose, California in 1964. The city had a record store with headphones hooked up to turntables, and my friends and I rode our bikes there everyday for a week just to hear that song. The 45 was credited to Doug Clark And The Hot Nuts. Double entendre galore!

 

 

- "It Ain’t The Meat (It’s The Motion)", the 1974 version by Maria Muldaur.

- "I’m An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)" (written by Johnny Mercer), by Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks, vocal by the sultry Maryann Price, one of my favorite singers.
