Bush Pokes Fun of Himself At Broadcasters Dinner

...

I just figured I'd ask for permission from you guys first, but if I say that he's got a vial of anthrax in his shoe tree, can I go to his house and beat the shit out of him with a baseball bat? Please?

********

I'm curious. What songs turn you on? (In a romantically erotic way, not a straight-off-a-porn-soundtrack way.)

Dude. "I'm a Slave 4 U" by Britney is fucking hot. If you turn it up or put on headphones you can hear her whispering and.. *squirms*

heheh

I don't know if you're looking for more of a soft, candle-lit type soundtrack, but my tastes run to more of a *ahem* pounding baseline.

As far as pre-show seductive type things, raspy blues singers are always nice. Janis Joplin, Norah Jones, anything you might hear in a Starbucks while you're waiting for your espresso...

As for actually getting down to business, I've found that Powerman 5000 ~ When Worlds Collide, any of Marilyn Manson's faster stuff, and virtually anything by Rob Zombie or Prodigy make nice background music. But, then, I like things a little on the rough side. ;)

Portishead "Glory Box"

or Jeff Buckley "Everybody Here Wants You"

[spyderqueen.livejournal.com]

Kirsty MacColl - autumngirlsoup, although I wouldn't say it's "romantic" per se.

[miggy.livejournal.com]

Edwyn Collins, "A Girl Like You." Yes, I only know it because it's on the Empire Records soundtrack. Shut up.

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

Virtually anything by Sarah McLachlan.

[wenchamok.livejournal.com]

For the wild up-against-a-wall-while-still-mostly-dressed version of romance, "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. For more sedate stuff, Toby Keith's "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This" gives me shivers. OK, so Toby Keith just plain gives me the shivers, but whatever....

[laughingrat.livejournal.com]

Almost anything by Ibrahim Ferrer...early Tom Waits (his first album has lovely romantic songs)...the song "Night and Day," that's a good one. Hmmm... *sigh*

Don't look at me like that. Rats get romantic too, you know.

[cyprinella]

tori Amos's Caught a Lite Sneeze (echo remix) where it's all breathy and nothing but her voice.

[tenebris.livejournal.com]

Goldfrapp's Black Cherry, where the vocalist spends most of the album making sweet aural love to the listener with her voice.

Some of Lovage's Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By, like "Strangers on a Train," "Archie and Veronica," and "Stroker Ace."

And Balligomingo's Beneath the Surface. That's some sweet, sweet music.

[octopedingenue]

"Wild" by Poe--9 minutes of pure guuuuh. All of her Haunted album is pretty damn sexy, though.

"Detour" by Bis: It's snarky car sex! and makes work the phrase "I'm feeling disillusioned with the human race"!

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails--most of my United Methodist guilt twinges from loving this song so freakin' much have stopped by now.

"When You're Good to Mama" as performed by Queen Latifah in Chicago. Whimper.

"Strong" by Velvet Chain & "Transylvanian Concubine" by Rasputina off the "Buffy" soundtrack. Mmmmm.

and just about anything by Garbage.


(Who knew? Apparently techno turns me on. Heh. And I grew up listening to nothing but country...)

[fairestcat]

U2's version of Unchained Melody is quite certainly one of the sexiest things ever put to music. Also from U2, Desire, All I Want Is You and Love is Blindness among others.

Almost all of David Gray's "White Ladder" album, especially Sail Away and Please Forgive Me

Janis Joplin singing Summertime gets me every time.

Roxy Music's Avalon the song and the whole album really.

David Bowie, Rebel, Rebel and several others actually, ummm Candidate/Sweet Thing and Absolute Beginners and China Girl come to mind immediately.

That's what I can come up with off the top of my head.

[overloved.livejournal.com]

Rapunzel, by Dave Matthews Band.
Untitled, by D'Angelo.

[juniper200.livejournal.com]

"St. Louise is Listening" by Soul Coughing, especially the "baby doll" bridge.

[dorable.livejournal.com]

In the same vein as "Closer," there's A Perfect Circle's "Thinking of You."

[azurelunatic]

"White Reflection". "Bizarre Love Triangle". "Hallelujah". "The Bad Touch" (I had very hot sex to this song at one point in the past...)

A song that is an explicit turn-off: White Zombie's "More Human Than Humans", because I made out with my ex to this song on repeat.

[thenetwork.livejournal.com]

Jessica Rabbit's version of "Why Don't You Do Right?"

Robert Johnson's "Malted Milk." Most of Robert Johnson. Put on some Robert Johnson and go to the bedroom, I'll follow quietly.

(And you have my permission to use a lead pipeon Fearless Leader. Don't beat around the bush -- beat him up!)

songs

[cmpriest.livejournal.com]

"Dirt," by Depeche Mode
(from the Resident Evil soundtrack)
so...damned...sexy.

[musyc]

Chris Isaak - Wicked Game. (Sure it's a cliched pick, but damn, that's a good song.)
Rammstein - Spiel Mit Mir. (What can I say? I like German.)
Sammy Kershaw - She Don't Know She's Beautiful. (Lovely lyrics.)
Brooks & Dunn - My Maria. (Love that falsetto!)
Carole King - Will You Love Me Tomorrow? (And I even like the Bee Gees cover.)

Well, there's loads to be honest, but there's three in particular that spring to mind.

The first is one I heard on a music video from the 'net. It's called "Angel Eyes", but I've not *idea* who sings it. You have to be turned on *to* sing it though, I swear. *melts*

The second is "Supernatural" by By Divine Right, and the third is: "Take it Off" by The Donnas.

I also love Sarah McLachlan, but she tends to depress me more often than turn me on, and I love Goldfrapp, but again, I'm only turned on by them if I'm in the right mood (though seeing them live did it - she's fucking hot!).

[prettiekittie.livejournal.com]

"Smooth" by Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana has got my vote! That song is HOT!!

[jedusor.livejournal.com]

Both "Gollum's Song" and "Into the West." I assume I don't have to tell you where they're from.
