Whoever or whatever she is, I want her bad. Leonard Cohen’s songs tend to be like that. Try [Dance Me to the End of Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEVow6kr5nI), for just one other. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > She did a lot of what could be called ‘risque’ songs in her day. She did great things with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band in the mid-60s, and gigged around the San Francisco area with the Jerry Garcia Band in the summer of 1978. I’m kinda glad I missed that (being 17 and in Cleveland). The combination of Jerry’s guitar and Maria’s presence would have left me with an hours-long and painful erection. ---

Donna Summers has this topic nailed, particularly with the long version, 17 orgasmic minutes, of **Love To Love You Baby**. Music doesn’t get any more erotic than this.

Raw sexy primal soul blues: Maimouna Youssef - Black Magic Woman Leave Me Alone Random lyrics: If you listen on nights the moon is full you’ll hear them moaning, groaning, Screaming black magic woman leave me alone!

Also **Prince** ’s _Girls & Boys_. Usually, hearing French words in an English song in an attempt to sound sexy strikes me as trying too hard and always falls completely flat. For instance, the French sentence in **Labelle** ’s _Lady Marmalade_ is totally clumsy and unnatural and is thus more likely to make me laugh than anything else. _Girls & Boys_ is an exception, though. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > She did a lot of what could be called ‘risque’ songs in her day. Sort of a pornographic lounge singer who suddenly found herself with a hit. The great guitar work on the piece doesn’t hurt. For years I thought the guitar solo on this song was by Mark Knopfler, but no, it’s by Amos Garrett. One of the best guitar solos ever laid down on a pop song, ever. The only consensus I see in the listing of sexy songs is that everyone’s got a different idea of what makes a sexy song. Piece of My Heart? Screeching nails-on-a-blackboard vocals over a band that was not capable of tuning their instruments? Takes me right out of the mood. As for me, any album by Thievery Corporation is the perfect accompaniment for love-making. The single best individual song though would have to be [Business Time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqZcYPEszN8) by Flight of the Conchords. ---

> [@Horatio\_Hellpop](#): > > 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. “Like a Prayer”. And those three songs with the bullfighter videos. Lots of Karen Carpenter’s songs.
