> [@corkboard](#): > > Two songs by Berlin- something about the way Teri Nunn sings them is just so erotic. _The Metro_ and _Sex (I’m A…)_. I came for _Terri Nunn_ also. **Metro** , **Masquerade** , **Now it’s My Turn** , **No More Words** Woof! _Sugarcubes_ **Chihuahua** and **Hit** also have that wonderful sultry growly vice to them. Woof again! ---

Not about your ex, of course. :smack: Also: I Feel Love - Donna Summer Immigrant Song - Trent Reznor & Karen Oh version Magic Man - Heart Son of a Preacher man - Dusty Springfield Yeah, and all the Berlin songs, too. In The Metro music video she actually looked a little like my first sex partner. I later interviewed Terri Nunn for my school newspaper and was a bit smitten. ---

At the end of one chemically-fuelled night in my mid-20s, I was crossing the dancefloor in my favourite club when [Kerosene](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuO3wwLuF0w)by Big Black came on. It was the most sexually charged moment of my life until that point, and ever since then I only have to hear those jangly screeches at the beginning and I come over all unnecessary. YMMdefintelyV. Oh, and **Time to Make You Mine** by Lisa Stansfield. Although that one’s a bit more conventionally sexy I think. ---

> [@SeaDragonTattoo](#): > > 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. “Magdalena” by A Perfect Circle is pure filth, in a wholly good way. And I have fond memories of Ministry’s Psalm 69 album, 20 odd years back. There is something about loud industrial. ---

The White Stripes’ “Ball and Biscuit”. When Jack purrs “Let’s have a ball girl… And take our sweet little time about it”. That’s me stuck to the seat. ---

Shakira’s a turn off for me. For whatever reason, her grammar just strikes me as wrong, like she’s obviously not an English native speaker yet didn’t have her lyrics edited by one. “Hips don’t lie” seems to be grammatical, yet just sounds wrong. “I just had sex” by Lonely Island. If you watch the video, one of the girls they had sex with is Jessica Alba, and at the end of the video she does this hot ponytail dance. “Moves Like Jagger”: If you watch the unedited video, one of the Mick impersonators is female and she does a topless Mick walk with her boobies hanging out. “A Perfect Gentleman” by Wyclef Jean: Strippers are people too, you know. “My heart will go on,” Celine Dion: If you wanted easy booty in the late 90’s, play this song and wear a DiCaprio mask.
