I have two: Kid Rock: Cowboy. I don’t know what it is, but it makes me want to give lap dances. NIN: Closer. It’s horribly cliche, but it does the job. ---

Norah Jones, “[Turn Me On](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj_OJDhxmd8)”. It’s right there in the title. A very smooth, sexy delivery from Norah, too. This song turns my girl on, and when I hear this tune I always think of that. In turn; it turns me on. ---

[The Delicates - “Black & White Thunderbird”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjSv-Mel47c) - there’s just something about the vocals. [Madonna - “Sooner or Later”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piIH_6qLsNo) Anything that makes [Bernadette Peters jiggle](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtdAmM_mlwA). ---

It’s a toss-up between Barney’s “I Love You” (uncensored extended remix) and the Horst Wessel song. ---

Afternoon Delight! Actually, it used to be that **Nasty Girl** (Vanity 6) did that to me, but it was only really because of seeing them perform that on stage while I had front row seats (Prince concert). Now, that visual memory has been moved far down the mind’s erect penis. Certain styles make me think of fun, sexy things, but no real “Turn On Song” ---

“Ai Du” by Ali Farka Toure with Ry Cooder. It’s the song from “Unfaithful” when Diane Lane has adulterous sex with her lover. Hot! ---

Peter Gabriel’s [Signal to Noise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJoSNZxLdbU). The crescendo at the end (starting at 4:31 and going through around 6:00) is amazing, especially when played at high volume. ---

Pretty much anything Maynard James Keenan’s voice takes front and center. So Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer make a decent list, along with any myriad of guesting and live collaborations he’s done. I can’t describe it, but something about his voice. And maybe a memory or two from my Mustang’s back seat. ---

[Justify My Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np_Y740aReI) by Madonna. When I was dating a now ex, it fueled many a “session.” ---

[_Crazy For You_ by Madonna](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn5OJGucveg) - I’ve never found Madonna herself especially attractive, but I’ve always had a thing for this song. I was a teen in the 80s when it came out. ---

Al Green, Al Green, and oh yes, Al Green. Especially _Love and Happiness_. Lately Raul Esparza’s version of _[The Best is Yet to Come](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mGhab5rivw&list=PLsn1-7pbpKtINn5uqhOgX6N5WUGCuI5Vm&index=19)_, the first half anyway. A classic upping the seductive. ---

I don’t disagree at all with Chris Isaak or Al Green, but the first thing I thought of was Barry White, [Can’t Get Enough of Your Love](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypyiAT1RelU) I also have a few albums of instrumental tango music that work, but I’m not likely to encounter any of those on the radio or in an elevator. Specific to one relationship is\*\* Dance With Me\*\* by Orleans. It’s the first song my husband and I danced to together. I was certainly turned on then and that memory floods back whenever I hear it.
