Inxs - “I Need You Tonight” Love and Rockets - “So Alive” Chris Isaak - “Wicked Game” David Christie - “Saddle Up” Randy Newman - “Leave Your Hat On” - It’s much dirtier than the Joe Cocker version, just because Newman sounds like a complete sleazebag ---

“I Touch Myself” by the Divinyls came out at a time in my life when I \*needed \*to hear a sexy woman sing those words while wearing skimpy clothing in a music video. I can’t hear that song without again feeling like a hypersexed 16-year-old. ---

Die Warzau’s “[Born Again](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24l0tSDlhoQ)” ( **NSFW**! Not fucking kidding!) is so sexy. The driving, pounding beat, the whispery singing… the surprisingly graphic lesbian love scene in the video doesn’t hurt, either. Genitorturers’ “[Flesh is the Law](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZKlrVcEqPE)” (Also NSFW because… it’s Genitorturers) is even more aggressive, and has a dominatrix, BDSM-theme that’s the hottest thing in the universe if you’re of a certain bent. Yowza! ---

K. D. Laing’s voice is pure liquid seduction in her song “Sexuality.” And Chaka Khan’s voice is pure passion in “Baby Love” by Mother’s Finest. And in places in “Edge of Seventeen” Stevie Nicks’ voice is pure, curdled lust and desire: “From the moment … when I first laid … eyes … on … him …” ohhhhh, yeah … ---

Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game does it for me. Doesn’t hurt that when he was young and smooth-faced, he looked like a slightly less handsome version of my husband. ---

**Ball and Biscuit** from the White Stripes’ Elephant album. The way Jack White sings “Let’s have a ball girl… and take our sweet little time about it” makes me want to do unspeakable things to him. Or anyone else that’s around, quite frankly. ---

“Midnight Blue” by Melissa Manchester. Rather blunt in its purpose, but poetically and tastefully so. ---

I came to this thread hoping to find suggestions for songs I can pole dance to. Sadly, the songs mentioned in this thread that are pole-danceable are already on my pole playlist. Some of these other ones are just way too fast and don’t really lend themselves to pole. Slower tempos work out better, at least at my level (intermediate – I’m past beginner but still have so much to learn). Anyway, I thought I’d just share some of my pole playlist instead. Before I do that, I want to point out one thing: Six Underground by the Sneaker Pimps may sound sexy, but it’s not a sexy song. It’s about wanting to kill yourself. “Take me down, six underground…” Hello. Totally inappropriate for pole. 😉 Without further ado: Rev 22:20 - Puscifer Queen B - Puscifer Eraser - Nine Inch Nails Reptile - Nine Inch Nails Into the Void - Nine Inch Nails Putting Out Fire (Cat People) - David Bowie Wicked Game - Chris Isaak Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing - Chris Isaak Tear You Apart - She Wants Revenge Blue on Black - Kenny Wayne Shepherd Moving in Stereo - The Cars Grind - Alice in Chains Natural One - Folk Implosion (DJ Shadow remix) Justify My Love - Madonna She’s Always in My Hair - Prince Gett Off - Prince Sexy Motherfucker - Prince She’s Long Gone - The Black Keys Bad Things - Jared Everett (True Blood theme song) Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation (Zed’s Dead remix) There’s more and I’m always on the lookout for new sexxxy pole songs. ---

Just about all of Vain’s _No Respect_ album - specifically: –[_1000 Degrees_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3pMplYFUo0&feature=related) – Straight-up “I wanna fuck your brains out and then kick you to the curb…again” awesomeness. –[_No Respect_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOY0DAnr7rQ&feature=related) – Seriously, who hasn’t been on one side or the other of the mind-fuck one-way relationship? –[_Laws Against Love_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpYA17hzCFQ&feature=related) – Still a great song, although the creepiness factor has definitely increased as I’ve gotten older. –[_Smoke And Shadows_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIPBRZHeDRo&feature=related) – A perfect “I _know_ you’re going to spend the night jilling off while you think about me” song. ---

My first thought has already been mentioned, Paula Cole’s “Feelin’ Love.” I nominate Kelly Willis’ “Cradle of Love,” which is NOT a cover of the Billy Idol song of the same name, for some country sexy.
