Of course, weed might have also played a role in this blissful daze, but for the purpose of this list we’ll peg it on love.- Ryan Bort 44. “Stir It Up” is one of Marley’s most affecting straight-up love songs, playing out almost in slow motion, as if he’s been suspended in a blissful daze by his love. He was also about spreading the love, both literally-he had at least 10 children with a number of a different women-and through his songs. The gangly frontman’s pleas are desperate from beginning to end: “You say you’ve got to go home / Well, at least there’s someone there for you to talk to.” Even if Cocker can’t remember a worst time, the first time you hear this song is something you’ll always long for time and time again.- Mack HaydenĪs a divine mouthpiece for Jah, Bob Marley was all about spreading the tenets of Rastafarianism to as many people as possible. But Jarvis Cocker got to the heart of distorted sexual longing best on His ‘n Hers’ “Do You Remember the First Time?” At its core, the song is about trying to manipulate someone’s marital boredom in order to sleep with them again, but the startling thing about the jam is its wistful humanity. To some degree, every ‘90s Pulp song is about sexual frustration or struggling against class. “Do You Remember The First Time?” Pulp (1994)

Combine this with a steady, thumping beat and a series of sinister screeching echoes, and you’ve got one of LCD’s darker, sexier tracks, perfect for locking eyes across a smoky club.- Ryan Bort 46. But on “Too Much Love,” from his group’s 2006 self-titled debut, he sounds as if he’s in a kind of lobotomized trance, singing about “too much love” as if it’s totally beaten him down. LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy was known for his arhythmic, almost conversational singing style…either that or for his jubilant party shouting. It steams until it simmers, warm to the finish.- Beca GrimmĤ7. Tom drums tumble to climax just shy of the three-minute mark-but for only a second, before cooling. This song works for meaningful romps only-so that heartstrings and limbs weave into an enchanting macrame, a sturdy rope that lassoes souls tightly together. It’s all organic, coasting with whistles, quiet strings and swirling wind.
Guitar ripples over glassy water like stones tossed from two lovers’ canoe. The haunting chorus, “You and I are intertwined,” stitches a sensual sinew backbone. This song’s sexiness lies in its romanticism, and it also captures the innocence of the time perfectly.- Mark Lore 48. The big, descending chorus will absolutely melt your heart, but Ronnie Spector’s lead vocals are the real dagger-sassy and vulnerable all at once. Released in August of 1963, “Be My Baby” became the first hit single for The Ronettes, while establishing Phil Spector’s “wall of sound” studio wizardry.
This might be an odd choice to some, but there’s something about this song. Unless you’re into that sort of thing.- Tyler Kane The same band that wrote the be-all, end-all tribute to drug culture with “Feel Good Hit of the Summer” primed a steaming zipper-shifter of a sex jam years later with “Make It Wit Chu.” With a guitar solo as smooth as velvet sheets and Josh Homme’s sultry plea, there’s only one thing you’ll want to do after this Queens’ Era Vulgaris cut. “Make it Wit Chu,” Queens of the Stone Age (2007) So queue up the playlist we’ve compiled, hang a sock on your doorknob, do whatever you need to do…and be sure to tell us all the sensual songs we forgot about in the comments section below. To keep this from being a list of Prince and Al Green songs, we’ve limited ourselves to a maximum two tracks per artist. Our picks span a variety of eras, genres and styles-and while some are more overtly sexual than others, they all make us weak in the knees. Of course, sexiness is in the eye of the beholder, and there’s a lot of accounting for taste here. To pay tribute to the seductive singer and his timeless hit, we’re counting down the 50 Sexiest Songs of All Time. Yesterday we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s legendary Let’s Get It On album-a record packed with sex jams like “You Sure Love to Ball,” “Keep Gettin’ It On,” and of course its inescapable title track.
