Okay - when I used to DJ for a small internet radio station, I used to have 3 songs I would always play as “Songs That Make Melly Wet” - they were 3 songs (and/or music videos) that used to make me naughty bits all wiggly and giggly.

They were:

INXS - _One of My Kind_ (the part where he sang “slide over here and give me a moment” and was in that leather jacket without a shirt and just did that move)

Van Halen - _Jump_ when DLR crawled across the stage.

Sophie B. Hawkins - \*Damn I wish I was your lover \*- yeah, the whole video.

Of course, I was a pretty tame high school virgin - so those songs just got me all out of sorts when I saw them when I would sneak a peek at the afternoon Music Video hour after school. So I recognize that it might have just been me.

Were there any music videos or songs when you were younger (or even now) that just get you all hot and bothered?

_ **Work With Me, Annie** _ by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters.

In the mid 60’s we used that song to “hunch” each other on the dance floor.

I used to get blue balls from doing that.

This is so easy for me.

“Stacey’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne has always pushed my buttons

MMMMMMMM…Stacey’s Mom has got it goin’ on

I’ll be in my bunk.

As a horny male, my examples are all of the visual video variety.

**Billy Idol** - [Rock the Cradle of Love](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24FT3u-lhg4).  
This girl is just off the charts hot.

**Divinyls** - [I Touch Myself](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTneO6UgRuM).  
When you’re 15 the idea of a girl singing about masturbation worked, and there was some solid cleavage in the video.

**Warrant** - [Cherry Pie](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdDxz2bkfhE).  
I’m not proud of it, I realize the song is a massive joke, but Bobbi Brown was about the hottest thing my 14 year old eyes had ever seen.

I’m sure there are more, I was a very horny teen.

Yup, I always mess that up - but that’s because me being one of his kind always made me feel naughty - like he saw through my little polly pure act.

I was going to say that one too - but it wasn’t part of my original “set” on air. There was something about her bangs too . . .

I used to think like ONJ’s “Physical” too - UNTIL I saw the video. Then whatever hotness I had was permanently ruined . . .

He was my first crush when I was a wee girl.

_Sex (I’m A…)_ and \*The Metro \*by Berlin. Something about the synth beat of those songs and Teri Nunn’s voice strummed something in my 15 (and 16, and 17…) year old libido.

I spent much time in my bunk.

Wow, is that a young Seth Green playing the amorous boy?

I got to see Teri Nunn live a few years ago - she’s still got it in spades. I never really knew _Metro_ back then - but I love it now. And you are absolutely right!

I used to have a big thing for Tawny Kitaen, so pretty much any White Snake video.

Tawny - call me!

Sigh. Texas - In Demand. Alan Rickman is so awesome.

I have also lately been digging 24OPEN by Midnight Brown. (you can go [here](http://www.midnightbrown.com/de)and then download the song.) MB is usually a very silly band, but I have a crazy mooning crush on one of the guys, and would totally take him up on the offer in this song. 😛

It doesn’t really count, because I only first saw it a couple of weeks ago, but if I had ever seen the video for [“Words” by Missing Persons](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIcWxFR4uh0) as a teen, I’d probably have broken it off from the abuse.

The ultimate hot-me-up video for me is probably Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Mean to Turn You Irresistible” or whichever videos he did with the braless wonders. Got-_damn_. Especially the one with the really soft, kind of round face. I’ll be in my bunk.

Of course all the usual suspects from George Michael, Prince, etc. but here’s an unusual, haunting one:

“Here I Go Again” – yes!

The irony of that video (Tawny rolling around on and in a car) is that, years later, she infamously had a fight with her then-husband, baseball pitcher Chuck Finley, while riding in the car, and stomped on his foot (which was on the accelerator) with her spike high heel shoe. 😃

My other ones:  
“Freedom” - George Michael (all those hot models, including Cindy Crawford in a bathtub)  
“Tall Cool One” - Robert Plant
