Remember Rebecca Howe from Cheers? How she would turn into a quivering pile of wet lady parts whenever she heard ‘You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling’ by the Righteous Brothers? So do you have a song that is like kryptonite to your celibacy? Maybe you associate it with an especially arousing memory, or the singer’s voice puts you in heat, or the beat just connects with your naughty bits. For me, it would be the Divinyls’ ‘I Touch Myself.’ It’s got everything: the video and song came out at an especially randy time in my life, the singer’s voice is-- how shall I put it-- a yearning purr, and I’ve got a fun sexual memory burned into my brain with this song. Kryptonite, I tells ya. ---

Chris Isaak- Wicked Game. Might be because of the video, but even without the video, I get a partial. Also, Loving Strangers by Russian Red. ---

Seriously? Cause the singer’s voice always makes me think of Betty Boop, and the idea of Betty Boop touching herself… :smack: So I guess if I’m going to make fun, I have to contribute one of my own: [Do you Wanna Go the Whole Way?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08uoLxVwD7s) by Roxette. No particular experiences and it’s not exactly Kryptonite, but it does the job. And I’m pretty sure my wife would be picking [So Alive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L41MhFPU9s) by Love & Rockets. ---

The entire Celtic Awakening album by Dan Gibson gets me all kinds of hot; I’m seriously breathing harder just thinking about it. Background: My gf and I were long-distance for the first 6 months of our relationship. Knowing my fondness for Celtic music, she bought me the album as a high-school graduation present. I listened to it frequently during my bus ride from Virginia to South Carolina, and… we listened to it during intimate moments together. ---

“lick my love pump” is a very gentle, yet arousing number. It is sexist but there’s nothing wrong with that in my eyes. ---

I saw Tim Buckley when he was touring on his _Welcome to LA_ album. No longer the starry-eyed folkie, he turned everybody on with [Sweet Surrender](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-qNBxXjbI4)… (Can’t listen here–hope the version sounds OK.) Referencing another thread–\*No, the 70’s did \*\*not \*_suck…_ ---

Two songs by Berlin- something about the way Teri Nunn sings them is just so erotic. _The Metro_ and _Sex (I’m A…)_. The 2nd one’s kind of cliche, but there’s an extended version that just has this pulsing backbeat that is as effective as someone fondling my nuts. Sorry, TMI… ---

Funny, I was going to name “Sex (I’m A…)” as one of those songs, but the [Lovage version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMO1rJ3DUQ4) (Stroker Ace is another Lovage song that gets me going sometimes…) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-songs-turn-you-on/690931.md?page=2)
