I’ve told this story on here before, but it fits very well with the thread so I’ll drag it out again. Several years ago there was an article in Playboy about making homemade porn starring yourself and your SO, and how this activity had added to the author’s sex life. He went into some detail about camera angles, lighting, and, finally, music. He mentioned in the article that a CD by a band called “Laika” was playing while he made his favorite video and how the music added to the whole thing, being very ethereal and atmospheric. “Great,” says I, “At least I know what music to get.” I then rush out and find an album by “Laika and the Cosmonauts.” Oh well, different title but how many band can have the name of the first Soviet dog in space in their title. Cut now to the big evening. I’ve programmed the CD player, things are progressing nicely. Nothing too cheesy, the SO and I are getting into the whole scene, having fun and doing our best bad porn star impressions while we boff like bunnies, when, from out of the speakers comes…SURF MUSIC. I mean Dick Dale-whammy bar-Wiipeout! drumming-style surf music. Only, it is surf music played at warp speed - this stuff is smoking my speakers. SO and I immediately look at each other and go “WTF?” We also dissolve in the laughter as the stuff is nearly impossible to have sex to (unless you’re on a crystal meth drip). Long story short, the band “Laika and the Cosmonauts” is a surf band FROM FINLAND! They are terrific muscians and the CD is great for playing at the beach or the pool, but it is very different than “Silver Apples on the Moon,” by the band Laika, which was what I was looking for in the first place. ---

In addition to Paradise by the Dashboard Light… Any of those hippy-dippy songs of the late 60s/early 70s. Me and You and a Dog Named Boo by Lobo House at Pooh Corner by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and just try to get steamy in the car as your 8-track is playing Danny’s Song by Kenny Loggins (or Anne Murray) ---

I think it’s nigh impossible to do anything when listening to the Benny Hill theme song (Yakkety Sax). ---

My hubby votes for the Hamster Dance song! That would wreck the mood for me. ---

Pretty much any of the Veggietales songs. Yes, I must admit that my son is hooked on “Larryboy”. You’ve never had good sex until you’ve had sex with Larry the Cucumber singing “I Love My Lips” in the background. ---

Well, since “The Hokey Pokey” and “The Chicken Dance” have already been mentioned, I’ll have to go with the other two wedding reception favorites, “The Electric Slide” and “The Macarena.” Although I’m not entirely sure who the singer was I’d have a really hard time not cracking up if “Drop Kick Me Jesus” was playing in the background. I once was in the middle of things when the MASH theme song came on. I giggled like a school girl, but I have to say he started laughing first. To this day I can’t watch the credits of MASH without smiling. ---

a little of subject here but: does anyone elses girlfriend/boyfriend get pissed off if you start singing along whilst having sex? surely it doesnt mean you are less interested in her/him just that you also quite happen to like this particular song ---

_Going Through The Motions_, Blue Oyster Cult. Which, on the other hand, is a great wanking song. 😃 ---

Barry White. What can I say, the guy just cracks me up. Especially _Love Serenade_. No wonder I fell off the bed, laughing hysterically. ---

I think that trying to have sex while the song “Push It” by Salt’N Peppa" is on, could be very difficult. I crack up whenever I hear that song anyway. ---

Anyone remember that French song that consisted of little more than an impassioned couple groaning “Je t’aime!” over a slow theme played on an organ? Da da daaaa da-da daaa… ---

I’m not sure but I think his name was Jordi. That’s a definite mood killer.
