Inspired by the “Sweeping Songs” thread, but this is for songs that hit…a little lower. They can be songs that make you wanna shake it, if that’s your thing, or songs that just go straight to the gonads. One of my first was [Steelworker](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bWQomPT6U4) by Big Black. (It’s the part right after the intro, as the song really hits its stride with the bass crawl that does it for me.) Also [Sometimes Pleasure Heads Must Burn](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjtsRARv7Y8) by the Birthday Party (also Zoo Music Girl, but I can’t find a good video). Actually, most things by Nick Cave make me feel a little lubricated. “Crazy on You” by Heart is another, with it’s little tinkly intro sliding into the big sound. Others? ---

I no longer have the album, but the song is on Chuck Magione’s _Feels So Good_ album. It’s the first song on side two. I’m considering ordering the album from Amazon when I’ve the money. In the mean time, does anyone remember the name of the song? Love, Phil ---

_Checks_ Nope, still no gonads. I dunno…I Wanna Be Your Dog? I’m Your Man? Everything on my iPod at the moment. Has left me singing and swinging my ass all over the house. My family now hates me. ---

You have gonads, even if they’re not external. Unless you’ve had your ovaries removed. I’m talking about songs that for whatever reason make you feel…urm…horny, even if they’re not about love, romance, or sex. So I’m not just talking about songs that make you want to dance, but songs that make you want to dirty dance. ---

Actually, I can get behind “I Wanna Be Your Dog.” “I’m Your Man” not so much, if you’re talking about the Leonard Cohen version. ---

[QUOTE=MerryMagdalen] So I’m not just talking about songs that make you want to dance, but songs that make you want to dirty dance. [/QUOTE] When my son was a baby, he would always shake his diaper to Talking in Your Sleep, by the Romantics. I see now that’s not exactly what you were looking for, but the diaper was frequently dirty, so I thought it might still count. 🙂 ---

Lots of industrial stuff affects me this way–particularly anything fast with a driving beat and at least something of a melody. Assemblage 23, Funker Vogt, Icon of Coil…yeah). But my number-one song in this regard is Peter Gabriel’s “Signal to Noise,” from his “Up” CD. I’ve always described the ending of that song as ‘orgasmic.’ It was mind-blowing live, but cranking up the volume on the speakers is almost as good. ---

I typically call ‘Phantom of the Opera’ audio porn. Basically anytime Michael Crawford starts singing, I start swooning. ---
