We’ve done a few of these before but they sort of went out of control. So first of all, please limit responses to answering the challenge, not presenting new challenges. I’ll start more threads.
The challenge is simple; You must write up a mix album of real live songs that meet the challenge criteria. You need ten to twelve songs and no two songs may be by the same artist, although related artists is okay (e.g. you could have one song by the Beatles, and another by John Lennon as a solo artist.) Your songs must be real songs released on actual albums, not shit you made up.
For instance, one previous challenge was “Song Titles That Name Places That Are Not In the United States.” An answer to this challenge could be:
“Africa,” Toto
“Caribbean Queen,” Billy Ocean
“London Calling,” The Clash
“Bobcaygeon,” The Tragically Hip
“Drops of Jupiter,” Train
“Kashmir,” Led Zeppelin
“One Night In Bangkok,” Murray Head
“Down Under,” Men At Work
“Stars of Warburton,” Midnight Oil
“Guantanamera,” Jose Marti and others
I could not have used “Antarctica” by Midnight Oil, which violates the one-song-per-band rule, but could have also used “Vancouver Divorce” by Gord Downie even though he is also in The Tragically Hip.
So here is your first challenge. ** Mix me up an album with song titles that refer to sex acts, or acts of physical affection, but do not use the words “kiss” (or any conjugation of the verb kiss) or “sex.”**
Touch Me In The Morning - Diana Ross I Wanna Hold Your Hand - The Beatles Love To Love You Baby - Donna Summer I Wanna Rock With You - Michael Jackson The Touch of You - Brenda and The Tabulations Muskrat Love - The Captain and Tennille Pull Up To My Bumper - Grace Jones
I can’t think of any more - the tune **Sexual Healing ** is playing in my head and I so want to use it.
The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang Let’s Get It On - Marvin Gaye I Touch Myself - Divinyls She Bop - Cyndi lauper Lay Lady Lay - Bob Dylan Why Don’t We Do It In the Road? - The Beatles Closer - Nine Inch Nails
I’m a little unsure of the rules… #3 and #9 don’t say anything in the title about sex acts, but, well, we all know what they’re about. Likewise, #12, for example, has the word kiss in the lyrics, but not the title.
#12 is a perfect example (doesn’t matter what’s in the lyrics.) I mean, you can’t top a song that means “Do You Want To Sleep With Me?” WRT the other two, hey, a little wink-wink nudge-nudge is to be expected in this Challenge
SaharaTea, “She Bop” is a particularly brilliant answer.
Perhaps fittingly, my entry in this category will be unimaginative and too short.
Jimmy Buffet: “Why Don’t we Get Drunk and Screw?”
AC/DC: “She Shook Me All Night Long”
Heart: “Crazy on You”
The Doors: “Touch Me”
Clarence Carter: “Strokin’”
Tom Jones: “You Can Leave Your Hat On”
Harry Chapin: “Get on With It” (OK, a little stretch here)
All puns aside, I have heard from two French speakers that the phrase more accurately means, will you lay with me, and that idiomatically it does not have the same implication as it would in English.
I was told that French speakers would innocently say this to their grandmothers as a way of asking if they would spend the night in the guest room.
Oh, and if I hadn’t already used ZZ Top I would have loved to add “Tube Snake Boogie”
I hope innuendos count because I don’t know how many songs I have that are out right explicit. And damn you SiXSwordS for taking my ZZ Top song.
Making Love to Yourself - Golden Earring
Turbo Lover - Judas Priest
Suck it and See - Grim Reaper

For some reason I thought the word “love” and variations were off limits as well. Oh well. (The rules didn’t specify conventional “acts of affection”, did they?)
Californication — Red Hot Chili Peppers Dirty Weekend — Rod Stewart Touch Me — Samantha Fox Foreplay — Boston Lay Down Sally — Eric Clapton Love Me Two Times — The Doors Let’s Spend The Night Together — Rolling Stones Blowin’ In The Wind — Bob Dylan :eek: Come on Eileen — Dexys Midnight Runners :eek: :eek: Summer of '69 — Bryan Adams
