Just about every song on the [Flirt](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113080/) soundtrack gets me hot and bothered. ---

Totally cheesy but Journeys “lovin’ touchin’ squeezin” prompted me to call my girlfriend in high school and re kindle a relationship, which was more less doomed anyway. we broke up again a month later. ---

Ravel’s “Bolero” raises my thoughts of Bo Derek in “10”, among other things. It goes with the flow. ---

I second “Crazy on You” by Heart. That song is like pure sex. Also, White Stripes´ “Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground.” And Madonna´s… well, Madonna. ---

[QUOTE=featherlou] “Insatiable” by Darren Hayes [/QUOTE] At long last, someone else who knows this song! And I definitely agree. “Sexual Healing” by Marvin Gaye will put me in the mood _every_ time, without fail. ---

For me, it’s Peter Gabriel’s “Signal to Noise” off the “Up” CD. That thing builds to a crescendo that’s positively orgasmic. Also, anything industrial with a very strong beat. Industrial music is sexy. ---

[QUOTE=Apollo’s Towel] At long last, someone else who knows this song! And I definitely agree.\ [/QUOTE] I looooove to sing with this song. He sings right in my range! “Sexual Healing” - what about “Let’s Get it On?” Too obvious? 😃 ---

Al Green, **Let’s Stay Together**. Who croons better than the Reverend Al? Paul McCartney, **Maybe I’m Amazed**. Total love and devotion for the subject of the song. For sure \*I’m \* amazed! KC & the Sunshine Band, **Get Down Tonight**. (history involved) Rick James, **Super Freak**. (history again) Marvin Gaye, **Let’s Get It On**. Yeah, okay! Who could say no? His death (aside from being a bizarre fucked-up tragedy) ruined a thousand technicolor fantasies. And, at the risk of sounding like a DMB one trick pony (yes, I’m a fan–so shoot me), Dave Matthews Band, **Crush** ---

Sinead O’Connor’s version of “Curly Locks”. That’s a great one. ---

30 years later and **I Go Crazy** by Paul Davis still makes me want to grab someone and make out. **Wicked Games** by Chris Isaac is very sensual, too.
