> [@Mr.Excellent](#): > > Voltaire’s “The Night.” [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7BpmjuQzCE](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7BpmjuQzCE) I actually find The Night kind of sinister. And not in a good way. It’s primarily the music, but the lyrics, too. Yes, there’s some sexy aspects to the description, but there’s also a lot to it that just feels like he’s being drawn to his inevitable doom, and he knows it… Which is SO not sexy… ---

[Bad Touch - The Bloodhound Gang](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xat1GVnl8-k). Naughty chimps. 😃 On a more serious groovy note, [Prince - Incense and Candles](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiR1Li8X1fM). It’s kind of hard to pick Prince songs for hot and sexy - too many to choose from! ---

Both of these songs are way out of character for me, and far outside of my musical tastes, but I believe they are unbelievably sexy: Umbrella by Rhianna Don’t You by The Pussycat Dolls They were probably engineered by fat old white men in suits to be as sexy as possible. ---

> [@MTCicero](#): > > Oh, for fuck’s sake. Prince now uses the dreaded Autotune, too? Fuck! I’m an autotune hater, but I’ll say this for Prince’s use in this song - I hadn’t noticed it as detracting from the song, and he doesn’t have to use it (unlike a lot of modern singers) - I consider him one of the best pop vocalists alive. Autotune, like intense close-ups, shaky cam, and lens flares, is a technique that can be used to great effect as long as it’s used judiciously and sparingly, and Prince is not someone to back off of a fun new technique. 🙂 ---

Count me in on the NIN songs. Other than “Closer”, I also like… “Big Man With a Gun”. Which I think is about rape. But I pretend it’s about S&M. I also like Ludacris’s “What’s Your Fantasy.” ---
