Only half the music? The entire song would be nice.  
I hate when the music finishes before I do.

L’il problem with the italics? Is underlining next? 😃

‘Blood, Milk, and Sky’ by White Zombie. The original, not the remix.

‘Stranglehold’ by Ted Nugent is good too.

Cnote must 'rase Screech songs.

I suppose teasing you about spelling screech three different ways wouldn’t be appreciated, then?

[sub]How 'bout if I promise to co- uh, _attend_ your orgy this weekend?[/sub] 😃  
_sigh_ I should justify my posting here. Here’s my list:

Doin’ It, LL Cool J  
One on One, Hall and Oates  
Love in an Elevator, Aerosmith

Hell, I’ll spell all kinds of things wrong if that’s what I get in return.

I edited the title of this thread. “Fuck” threads are o.k. for the Pit, but we are a kinder, gentler forum, and the use of such words tend to make us blush and swoon. 🙂

Isn’t that like a 2.5 minute song? You must be into quickies 😉

What a wonderful world? I tried to imagine that, and as hard as I tried it wouldn’t stick in my head. That’s just, I dunnno, not right. It’s like a Grocery Store commercial song or something. When I hear that song I think about kids running in fields with puppies and the innocence of youth. I think about wars ending, and while I agree that people should screw more and kill less, that song definately doesn’t get me in the mood. Sorry to rain on any parades, but I digress. Barry White, Al Green, or Marvin Gaye if you’re makin love - Things with a ‘pulse’ if you’re just gettin’ sweaty.

punk snot dead,  
broccoli!

Marvin Gaye: “Let’s Get it On”!!!

Paula Cole: “Feelin’ Love” (it’s #4 on the City of Angels Soundtrack. the lyrics are pretty provocative–and very sexy!)

Janet: “That’s the way Love Goes”

and I guess Enya is good when “romance” is a factor… 🙂

Sorry, I thought the thread was “Songs to listen to instead of the act of baby-making”. Is that better?

These two were on my list ( : ("…of the best things in liii-ife") as anything by Aerosmith or H and O. Also:

I wanna say “Sugarwalls” be Shena Easton, but as cool as that would be, it would be a lie.  
“Bewitched, bothered and bewildered” by Ella.  
“If you think I’m sexy” by Revolting Cocks (a la Rod Stewart.)  
“Suddenly” by Olivia Newton-John (any Xanadu song by ONJ…and “Hopelessly Devoted To You”)  
“Red Clay” by Freddie Hubbard  
“Feels So Good” by Chuck M.  
“Thunder Island” (?)  
Any Stereolab  
Any pre-Belle Al Green  
“Let’s Get It On” Marvin Gaye  
“Whatever” by Barry White  
The Whole Fantastic Planet album by Failure  
“The Sheltering Sky” by King Crimson  
“Eye of the Hurricane” by Herbie Hancock  
“Sun Goddess” by Ramsey Lewis

That takes care of forplay, then:  
“Aerial Boundries” by Michael Hedges  
“The Bed’s Too Big Without You” by the Police  
“San Jacinto” by Peter Gabriel  
“Divided Sky” by Phish  
“Topograpgical Oceans” by Yes  
Disc 2 The Orb Live  
finishing with  
“Flash Gordon” by Queeen (fer kicks)

Afterglow:  
“Simply Beautiful” Al Green  
“My Favorite Things” by John Coltrane (via Afro Blue Impressions)  
“Naive Melody” by the Talking Heads  
“Never Want To Close My Eyes” by Aerosmith. (God, lay off, already. I know it’s sappy and corny, but it makes me feel good)  
“Lover Man” by Charlie Parker

Thats it! ( :
