Bowie, Bowie, and more Bowie! When I was much younger, I used to get ready for a date by listening to “If I Fell” by the Beatles. “Cherchez La Femme” by Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band. “Ooh Ah, Just a Little Bit” by Gina G. ---

Oooh, _Get Your Body Beat_ is a good one. _Re-Align_-Stromkern _Master_- Interlace Almost everything by Assemblage 23. Songs that inspire lust? Huh. Um. _Cold_- VNV Nation? But that’s just really vulgar dancing. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=want2know] Bowie, Bowie, and more Bowie! [/QUOTE] Amen. I just downloaded a huge amount of Bowie…to make up for my albums that died in the fire. To bad you’re a dozen states away. You seem to be a chick, but if you’re a Bowie chick I’d totally do you anyway. Ya’know, just in the spirit of the '70’s. ---

[QUOTE=Baldwin] Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, but possibly because of association with personal experience. [/QUOTE] Hey, me too! Also, there are a couple of pieces in one of Heinrich Schutz’s Christmas oratorios (oratori?) that have the same effect. ---

[QUOTE=Baldwin] Carl Orff’s _Carmina Burana_, but possibly because of association with personal experience. [/QUOTE] Seconded. There was a techno remix of O Fortuna that was very popular in Montreal goth clubs in the late 90s, which I frequently described as ‘the song that’s better than sex’. I luuuuuuuuurve dancing to that. ---

Ry Cooder’s version of [“All Shook Up.”](http://www.imeem.com/ohbrotherray/music/3u44yW-I/ry_cooder_ry_cooderall_shook_up/) My god, the way he does it, the song is _primal_. Be sure and crank it. ---

[QUOTE=phil417] 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 [/QUOTE] I think it’s “Hide & Seek (Ready Or Not Here I Come)” ---

For me, the songs that have really been getting me have been a number of tracks by **Goldfrapp** , particularly “Strict Machine”, “Twist”, “Ride a White Horse”, “Lovely 2 C U” and “Ooh La La”. ---

[QUOTE=MerryMagdalen] “Crazy on You” by Heart is another, with it’s little tinkly intro sliding into the big sound. Others? [/QUOTE] “Crazy on You” is possibly the sexiest rock song ever. “Magic Man” is nothing to sneeze at either (Even though I’m not entirely sure why he’s the magic man. Could be a drug dealer.) I also think there’s something really sexy about “Bitch” by Meredith Brooks.
