Agh - the Stupid! It burns! (Billboard's list of Sexiest Songs for V-Day)

…which leads off with Olivia Newton-John’s Physical (link to MSNBC article). :smack::smack:

…with Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love to You” right after it - :smack::smack: that’s not sexy! That’s cute, at best.

…the fact that they have **Marvin’s Let’s Get it On **in the top 5 is the only redeeming quality this stupid list has…

But Barry White isn’t on the list? And the list isn’t officially named “The Al Green List of Sexiest Songs - sponsored by Al Green”??? What is wrong with these people??

:smiley:

I don’t think soul is particularly sexy. I prefer raver-esque female diva-ing such as Emiliana or bjork.

My Darling I, can’t get enough of your love babe.
I don’t know I don’t know why
Can’t get enought of your love babe.

I can’t take the list seriously if Barry is not on it and “Let’s Get Physical” is #1.

Entirely worthy of nomination - I love me some Bristol bands. **Protection **by **Massive Attack **featuring Tracey Thorn on vocal is very sexy in its way…

Is it supposed to be sexy or romantic?

The sexiest song I’ve ever heard is Gwen Stafani’s “What you waiting for?” because she moans in the song. It has no other redeeming qualities.

If you are looking for moaning, just head straight for **The Great Gig in the Sky **off Dark Side of the Moon…anything Gwen might do doesn’t approach what Clare Torry brings to that song…:wink: - you agree with that, don’cha Ludovic? (I know you love Pink Floyd…)

…and since Physical is even less romantic than it is sexy, we’re at a no-win here…

Dear og yes.

I don’t know who Clare Torry is but is she as hot as Gwen? I won’t take just any moaning, I’m not a pervert! :stuck_out_tongue: :wink: :smiley:

I have no clue (and yeah, Mrs. Rossdale definitely has her moments of hotness) - but trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
ETA: checked Google Images…and, no, not so hot. Listen to the song anyway and think of it as phone sex.

List worthless without Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin: Je t’aime… Moi Non Plus (YouTube)…

Or, of course, Nick Cave and Anita Lane doing their version (YouTube).

Og yeah. TGGitG quite literally goes beyond sexy, it’s more like actual sex. I’m not aware of anything Gwen doing approaching it (and considering my opinion of the rest of her work am not open minded to clicking on links, unlike usual.)

The music video for Physical is the gaaaaaaaayyyyyyyest thing I’ve ever seen in my life (and I just saw Xanadu the musical!).

Would you want to get all sexy-time with someone after seeing this travesty?

The stupid does indeed burn.

All Songs Considered list

I thought this one was better, although it might be too indy for some of you.

Wait… THE Tracey Thorn? From Everything But The Girl? You win, then: even Tracey Thorn singing Baa Baa Black Sheep should be on a sexiest list…

Johnny Hartman. I’m a straight male, but I’d drink his bathwater…

Or how about Claude Debussy - C’est l’extase. Slim pickings for this one on the YouTube; ignore the video, just listen to the song and think of the poem.

You have no idea - get the song immediately :wink: The whole CD is wonderful, but rotates amongst vocalists, so she’s only on a couple; but one is enough…

What? Berlin didn’t make the list? Hath the world truly become so jaded? :frowning:

To be fair, this is an objective list based purely on Billboard rankings. Once you grant that a song is sexy or about sex (which might be debatable in itself), then its ranking was based purely on how it did on Billboard:

the-50-sexiest-songs-of-all-time

That makes it even more stupid, though. It’s not a list of the sexiest songs, but a list of the most popular songs related to sex. It’s completely different criteria.
