Curious George: Monday Monkey MP3 Musical Musings: Here's a song that's all about sex. (via fluxblog) Know any others? Not a tune about wanting it, or wanting it with somebody else for a change, or wishing that your partner wasn't having it with somebody else, or remembering it, or wishing you hadn't done it, but just about it?

  • An oldie but a goodie (sorry, I don't have a link to the song) is Sex (I'm a...) by Berlin.
  • My favorite ever is "Doin It" by LL Cool J. Representative NSFW lyrics: We get it To The Break of Dawn, damn you're large/ How a big girl like it Daddy?/Nice and hard/ Safe sexin it, flexin it, gettin that affectionate/ Chewin it, oohin it, all while we're doin it.
  • Salt-N-Pepa - "Let's Talk About Sex". Case closed?
  • Sparks -All you ever think about is SEX. You can hear it on thier website in "sparks media" -launch video box .
  • Well, I tried it just once and found it all right for kicks. But now I've found out that it's a habit that sticks.
  • Add N to (X)'s Plug me in. Not much in the way of lyrics... but it's got the beat. (NSFW video with plenty plastic toys. Beware.) Hey thomcat - Sparks' 'Cool Places' clip on that link triggered a flashback that almost made me jump out the window. Good luck I'm in a first floor.
  • Way back in the 1950s, an R&B song called "Work With Me Annie" showed up on the radio. The link describes how it shocked/excited all us virginal, white teenagers (about a third of the way down.) I'm sure it would sound pretty dated now, but at the time it was reallly somethin'. It was followed up by one called "Annie Had a Baby (Can't Work No More)." Both were soon banned. I'm still looking for samples or lyrics.
  • (I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that the preferred MP3 blog etiquette is to link to the relevant posting rather that direct linking to the file)
  • Other songs that came to mind: Pussy Tourette - Fuck my Pussy Consolidated (featuring the Yeastie Girls) - You Suck Queen - Get Down Make Love NIN - Get Down Make Love (Queen cover) Lords of Acid - Rough Sex And almost embarrassed to admit I remember these... 2 Live Crew - Me So Horny Tone Loc - Wild Thing
  • 2 by R. Kelly come to mind: "Bump and Grind" (the Old School Mix is good) and "Down Low (Nobody has to know)" and maybe, a couple goodies by 2 Live Crew, Bel Biv Devoe, and Young M.C. would round off the list... (oh, and on preview: Divinyl's 'I Touch Myself') :)
  • one more: the rather appropriately named "Inside of Me", by Madonna...
  • Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket, Like the lost catacombs of Egypt, only God knows where we stuck it . . .

Roula "Lick It" Amber "Sexual (La Di Da)" Monifa "Touch It" Prince "Erotic City" Bloodhound Gang "The Bad Touch (Do it like Mammals)" Tori Amos "Icicle" Keith Sweat "Make it last forever" 2 Live Crew "Me So Horny" Ginuwine "Ride My Pony" Tanto Metro & Devonte "Give It To Her" Big Pun feat Joe "Not A Player" (I Just F a Lot) George Michael "Fastlove" Bel Biv Devoe "Do Me" Khia "My Neck, My Back" Snoop Dog "Ain't No Fun" (If tha Homies Can't get None) A Tribe Called Quest "Hot Sex" Dr. Dre feat.

Gator)" DMB "Say Goodbye" Kraftwerk "Sex Object" Stone Temple Pilots "Sex Type Thing" Sublime "Date Rape" ...and maybe, Madonna "Like a Virgin"?
  • Just about the entire album by Lovage, _Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By_ -- which includes a cover of "Sex (I'm A)" which I find far superior to the original. And nobody's mentioned Black Flag's "Stick It In" yet? Amazing.
  • Karen Finley's "Belgian Waffle."
  • Would it break the blog to try and post a torrent?
  • The knowledge of old-school hip-hop on display here is impressive an' all, but really, you'd have a much easier time with the recent stuff. Take Ludacris. Has any single he's released since "Southern Hospitality" not been entirely about sex?
  • Spinal Tap: Sex Farm and Big Bottom
  • The Scrotum Song by the Asylum Street Spankers has some snippets of older songs about doing the deed. Examples: "If it don't fit, don't force it/'Cause you'll make your mama mad." "I'm a one-hour mama/So no one-minute papas/Ain't the kind of man for me."
  • Good call on Peel Me a Grape, Jeff, but I don't think Diana Krall can hold a candle to a few of the women who have performed it (Blossom Dearie in particular). Clarence Carter's Back Door Santa is probably the lewdest Christmas song around. I still remember the look on my son's face when he first figured out the double entendre. Cole Porter (and many other people) wrote a lot of songs which were clean enough for public performance (back when that was an expectation), and I've Got You Under My Skin was one of the best. Dinah Washington does a great version of it, and Neneh Cherry updates it quite well on Red Hot and Blue, one of the many cds released by the Red Hot organization fundraising for AIDS groups. Love For Sale, which is quite obviously about prostitution, is also a Porter classic. Oh, and if, like me, you love jazz and sex, this nonsense is good for a laugh. Many thanks to the Illinois Vigilance Association.
  • coppermac- i was just searching for an ella fitzgerald or billle holiday song to demonstrate clean versions of it... but i think you hit the nail on the head with cole porter.
  • Monty Python: Sit On My Face Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you too...
  • If you're looking for style points (*ahem*), take the high road and hop in Bjork's beautiful but totally sick "Cocoon". I have no style, so you can't get offended
  • And of course, Peaches' "Fuck the Pain Away". As heard on that bar in 'Lost in Translation'...
  • I was looking for Elvis Costello's "Mystery Dance" and I stumbled across these gems: Lost in the Stars (the title track to a Kurt Weil tribute album) My Dark Life (with Brian Eno) "said, don't burry me cus I'm not dead yet.."
  • AC/DC-Shook Me All Night Long Whitesnake-Slide It In Whitesnake-Slow 'n Easy Jeez, don't you people go to strip clubs?
  • don't forget (the fabulously witty) kirsty maccoll's "Here Comes That Man Again" about online sex. any song with the lyrics, "Sha la la la la, get your rocks off baby," is OK by me.
  • Mmmmhh... phone sex? How about underworld's 'Dirty Epic'? Why, I...
  • SideDish, that reminds me of another one about online sex. Lords of Acid - Cybersex The title's so obvious, why didn't I think of it before?
  • The only one I can think of is that early-nineties classic, "I Wanna Sex U Up".
  • I found a couple of compilations in an old record review magazine: The Copulatin' Blues and Street Walkin' Blues. And, here you can hear samples of each song in Windows Media or Real.
  • Diana Krall's version of Gershwin's "Do It Again" *sigh* oh, and BB King's "Sell My Monkey"
  • Drive by Truckers "Too Much Sex, Too Little Jesus" Timbuk 3 "Too Much Sex, Not Enough Affection" TLC "Ain't to Proud to Beg"
