_I Will Die for You_; Garbage ( Was used in the updated Romeo and Juliet movie from the 90s)

_Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance)_; but you have to watch it as part of _Dirty Dancing._

[River Deep Mountain High](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0wPrN_Y_4) - Ike & Tina Turner (not even Ike, looking creepy as all hell, can ruin the sex appeal Tina puts on display here.)

[I Feel Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTZEf_Fn4gQ) - Donna Summer

Dating myself as much as the OP.

So many. But here are three that do it for me:

[Deh Vieni Non Tardar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-L4DMuvzvo), from Mozart’s _Nozze di Figaro_. This is Anna Netrebko. The tempo is a bit faster than I think it should be, but her voice is just gorgeous. Start listening at 1:20, if you’re short on time.

[Do You Wanna Touch Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AyL3ggg_iA), Joan Jett. Why, yes, Joan, now that you mention it, I _do_ want to touch you. There.

[I’d Rather Go Blind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9sq3ME0JHQ). Etta James. Twisted and obsessive, but sexy, for sure.

[When I Was Yours](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxPz1M_t_-c), Emmylou Harris. Beautiful. Sexy. And check out that violin solo (I actually think it might be a viola – anyone else think so?) – nearly as sexy as the vocal.

**Wicked Games** is a good choice. Something about the line “I didn’t want to fall in love” (but you’re so hot,…resistance is futile) always seemed really sexy to me.

My (obscure) choice is **Daydream** by Robin Trower.

I can remember a time when Madonna would have been mentioned a lot earlier in this kind of thread. Of course, back then the World Wide Web was shiny and new.

I thought everyone knew that [Glory Box by Portishead](http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8uciibl0rcs) is the sexiest song ever. 😉

I would say [Father Figure](http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m_9hfHvQSNo) is the sexier if slightly creepier George Michael song.

Thank god I can stand on my pedestal and say you’re both wrong.

And while we’re dissing other people’s selections: “I’m so excited” is “sexy”??? W?T?F?

Yeh, I don’t think you could seduce someone by playing “I’m so excited” its more of a get up and dance song.

I don’t think Goerge Michaell could ever be sexy to me, I like singers that sound like men— Goerge Michael makes me feel icky.

He’s pretty good, but that song ain’t particularly sexy and his voice sounds like he looks age-wise.
