Help! What gets your hormones raging?

[reigningcatsndogs]

I know there's already a music thread going, but I am looking for help for one or two specific pieces for a scene in my novel. What is the hottest, sexiest, most sensual piece of music you can think of? I'm talking one that just with the first few bars gets the old hormones raging, the one that, if your life was set to music, would be playing when you have the most memorable (either real or imagined;)) experiences!! And PLEASE!!! No one even suggest "It's Hard to be Humble"! Thanks for the help. I know I'll recognize it as soon as someone suggests it!

[EriRae]

"Let's Get it On" -- Barry White

I know, TV uses that all the time, but it works for me ;)

It's probably a personal thing, since music is so subjective. What are your characters into? What kinds of music? Justin Timberlake's Future/Sex/Love/Sounds album would be current and has a great beat.

[reigningcatsndogs]

At this point in time, I can take it any direction as far as mucial genre is concerned. I would tend to lean away from stuff like rap, because I just can't wrap my brain around that. Then again, I would listen to whatever is suggested and maybe broaden my horizons or rise to the challenge! The characters involved are in the over 35 group, if that helps narrow it down.

[joyce]

For me is would be Holy Water by Bad Company. Everytime I hear it I'm reminded of those first dates with my husband.....I need to stop thinking about those time right now......where is he. Maybe I need to call him and have him come home from work right now!:)

[Shady Lane]

Kiss Me Idle by The Verve Pipe. DOWNLOAD IT.

[She_wulf]

This sounds sick...and it probably is, but

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails...

[TheIT]

For characters in the over 35 group, try Ravel's Bolero. That was the song used in the movie 10.

[EriRae]

This sounds sick...and it probably is, but

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails...

Ooh-ooh!!! GOOD ONE!!! I love that song! I don't care what Trent's saying; I still love it.

[Esopha]

Hurts So Good, John Mellencamp.

It makes me think of smoochies in the grass on a sunny day. Yum.

[reigningcatsndogs]

Hurts So Good, John Mellencamp.

It makes me think of smoochies in the grass on a sunny day. Yum.
Yup, that's what I need to hear -- the ones that make you recall a great day, or the ones that you imagine would be perfect for the occasion. Hot, sexy, romantic,.... Thanks for all the suggestions (reps for all!)

[Esopha]

Yay! Glad I could help.

[EriRae]

"Love Fool" by the Cardigans. Light, airy, sweet, kissable.

[Esopha]

Any and all versions of "Sway."

[underthecity]

Not anything specific comes to mind, but turn on your local modern R&B station and listen for the slow, sexy songs to play. Pick the one that starts your heart a racin'.

[Shadow_Ferret]

Dina Moe Hum by Frank Zappa

Otherwise, to be honest, I don't listen to anything that could even be remotely hot or sexy. It's just not my thing.

[melaniehoo]

Anything from Prince's Purple Rain soundtrack. Especially Darling Nikki.

[Scrawler]

Anything by Gato Barbieri works for me. His "Europa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9C0flA9ke4)" is quite sexy. It reminds me of.... ah... never mind.....

Dina Moe Hum by Frank Zappa



:roll:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm editing this:

Personally, I think Sade from the first Enigma (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLi-bELb_M0) album is hot.

Then there's Steve Winwood's What the Night Can Do. (No YouTube for this one)

The Eagles' Peaceful Easy Feeling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enVI7wMosqc) works for me, too.

[reigningcatsndogs]

Anything by Gato Barbieri works for me. His "Europa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9C0flA9ke4)" is quite sexy. It reminds me of.... ah... never mind.....
Yeah, that one definitely goes on the list!!! Thanks!

ETA: Umm, Thanks Scarlet, but I don't know if that really catches the mood I'm looking for.

[sunandshadow]

This sounds sick...and it probably is, but

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails...

I was going to say that too actually. :)

Antigravity Love by Incubus. That song is sexy.

Pompeii AM Gotterdammerung by the Flaming Lips. Damn that is one impassioned song.

[Manat]

OMG, Tom Waits' gravelly voice singing one of his ballads. He does yearning better than anyone.

[brokenfingers]

Let Me Call You Sweetheart by Alvin and the Chipmunks usually works for me...

[Penguin Queen]

"Mi lusinga il dolce affetto" - aria from Handel's opera "Alcina".

Preferably sung by Della Jones. Ooohhh, what a voice. I developed a severe crush on her just on the basis of that one piece of music. Have a listen to it here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/music/clipserve/B000GG4T2S002004/1/ref=mu_sam_ra002_004/203-4021770-1852757). (I think the character Ruggiero is actually serenading his lady with this aria. Which is most fitting.)

Dummy (the entire album) by Portishead. A post-launch survey of a representative selection of yummy mummies in a Toronto bar reached the concensus that it was, simply, the best sex album ever.

And who am I to argue?

(And, in all seriousness, Dinah Moe Humm does it for me. Really. But that has to do with the forces of memory and imprinting...)

[JoNightshade]

I can't believe I'm posting this, but...

"I Touch Myself."

Also there's this amazing duet from the opera the Coronation of Poppea. I wanted to have it at my wedding but the hubby nixed it when I told him it was a duet between Nero and his new wife after he'd displaced the old one. ;) (Can't say I blame him.)

[The_Grand_Duchess]

Yes, Painted on my heart. That song is the sexy.

[ZannaPerry]

I don't know....I think sad music turns me on when I write. It gives me inspiration. Any kind of sad, instrumental music. I tend to go along with soundtracks, or easy listening with a nice harp, or guitar. Nothing that you hear birds or waves in the background. Total turn off, and annoying.

I also listen to a lot of Evanescence. They have some good hormone kickers. :D

I'm listening to the Pearl Harbor soundtrack right now, and I'm really anxious to write now.

[JamieFord]

Have a little faith in me--John Hiatt

[ZannaPerry]

Hey....just thought about a song......what about "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack? I think that is hell-o sexy when you're writing something sensual in your book.

[wayndom]

The whole first side of the first Pretenders album (and most of the second side).

True story: I once was in flagrante delicto with a young woman while this album played on my stereo. Not only did the music seem to express the hot sweaty rhythm of our sex, the beat seemed to enable me to...ah...last longer.

When we were finally done, we looked at each other and said, simultaneously, "Is that the best music to f**k by or WHAT???" And then laughed our asses off.

Seriously, it's unbelievable until you've tried it.

Pretenders. First album. Lasts longer and works better than viagra.

[MichaelSt]

"First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack :D

This rendition is an absolute classic, a pure tour de force in vocal prowess.

[xDemode]

Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson
Dope Show by Marilyn Manson
Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie
&As previously mentioned. . .
Closer by NIN

[ZannaPerry]

I also like "Lucky" by Bif Naked.

[kristie911]

There's one my NIN that I love (and totally gets me in the mood...TMI, maybe?) but I can't remember the name of it. I looked up their lyrics and still can't find it. <sigh> It's been bugging me since I started reading this thread.

I think the beginning starts with something about "the devil wants to f%&k me in the back of his car"...anyone know?

[willietheshakes]

Heh - that's pretty much my Dinah Moe Humm story. First year university, up all night, and in the 3-4 am slot the DJ played all of Overnite Sensation. Appropriately enough, as it seems.

You just know, when you and the woman you're with both crack up in flagrante to Frank Zappa, that you've got something special.

Nineteen years later, I still do.

Kiss the Girl from the Little Mermaid (ssssh, don't laugh)

[benbradley]

Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe is basically an aural sex scene lasting about 15 minutes. Listen to it and see if you agree. When I first heard it I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. The first few measures might not do much for you - unless you've heard it before and know what's, uh, coming.
Oh! Oh! The song from Gone in Sixty Seconds! You know the one I'm talking about! Someone help me out here!
I dunno, but that title reminds me of "Sixty Minute Man:"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixty_Minute_Man

But for anyone who has heard Daphnis and Chloe, just the mention of it should be enough to evoke the mood. Also, it has no lyrics, and even if it did it's old enough to be in the public domain so there's no worry about getting any rights to mention it in your work.

[Melanie Nilles]

There was a time when every woman would swoon over the sultry voice of Micheal Bolton, but most men I know can't stand him. I have to admit, I love his Time, Love, and Tenderness album.

[TurkeyLurkey]

FutureSex/LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake.....DONT LAUGH!

All Nite(Dont Stop) by Janet Jackson

[ZannaPerry]

Oh, Turkey...Turkey, Turkey, Turkey Lurkey......every time that song comes on the radio I want to throw my radio out the window. They've played it too many times, and I despised it before they killed it. It's just sooo annoying that sexyback song. Sorry. :( but I would only play that song if I am torturing my characters because I will feel tortured...

[reigningcatsndogs]

You guys are great! So many suggestions to choose from, and I am listening to every one of them -- the ones I don't know, I'm really checking out!!! Thanks! And if any others just happen to pop into your mind, I'd love to hear them!!

My all time favourite artist is Yusaf Islam.

Don't forget Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw5Vcnjv5Bo)

I think they all do yearning pretty well.

You know, Barry White's music is the LEAST sexy thing that I've ever heard. To me, he sounds like an insincere slimbucket pedophile pimp. He just makes me want to puke.

(I'm sure he's a nice person, I just don't like that music!)

On the other hand, give me some 1960s beach music, or Chuck Berry, or Fats Domino, and I'm good to go.

Joni, singing "Ah found mah thrill....on Blueberry Hll."

"The Divinyls" album by The Divinyls -- the one with "I Touch Myself" on it, but every song is great. I write most of my really hot sex scenes with that playing on continuous loop.

If I'm going for more playful, "She's Tight" and "Surrender" by Cheap Trick -- really, their Greatest Hits album works perfectly, again on continuous loop. If I'm shooting more for yearning, "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" by Sophie B. Hawkins, "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones, and "Nowhere to Go" and the entire "Breakaway" album by Melissa Etheridge.

Gravy, no. 26-pounder of Jack Daniels and a micky of Jose, yes, cause that's about what it takes to get me to listen all the way through. For the record, neither is served in this house, probably because one left me with such distaste that the image transferred to the others.

:Lecture:for clarification, listen up guys!! "I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you. Now don't be sad cause two outta three ain't bad" (apologies to III who does lyrics much better!) belted out in a girls ear while trying to get in her pants is NOT good form.

Okay, there is one more that is even worse!!!! You're the Hangnail in my Life, and I Can't Bite You Off. Swear to God, it's a real song. Please, don't anyone suggest this one either!!!


ETA: Ooohhhhhhh, actually, this one might have some potential!!! Just not in the scene I was working on!!!!

[Deirdre]

reigning, you just reminded me of a song I heard on the way back from Oregon last year:

Don't Touch My Willie (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=28561903&s=143441&i=28561899) by Kevin Fowler.

[EriRae]

Here's a song that will really help a guy out..."Dear Penis," by Rodney Carrington. That makes a girl feel all special, to know she's not even needed :)

[reigningcatsndogs]

Put Another Log on the Fire is another one that always warms the cockles of my heart! Woo me!

[sunna]

I thought it was Artificial Joy Club that did that tune. O.o

Whups, that's right. I was close. :D

That song in hilarious. But not very romantically inspiring, I agree. :tongue The rest of his stuff is pretty funny too.

[JeanneTGC]

If we're going for funny, "Spiders and Snakes" by Ray Stevens is actually pretty sexy in its way. Its own *special* way.

[wee]

Where did you come from, Baby?

How did you know I needed you so badly?

How did you know I'd give my heart gladly?

Yesterday I was one of the lonely people ....

Dancing in my chair ....


Woah.... kiss me! You sexy thing ...


Oh, for actual romance -- that's uh, hmmm... -- that thing we did before we were married, before kids, before real jobs ... oh YEAH! I remember that!

[Lady Esther]

"Love Fool" by the Cardigans. Light, airy, sweet, kissable.
ooh, that's a good one.

Bob James and David Sanborn's Double Vision Album. Steve Winwood's Arc of a Diver.

What can I say, I went to college in the late 80's.

Why Don't We Do It In The Road -- The Beatles (White Album). Romance at it's best.

[CatSlave]

Anything sung by Andrea Bocelli.

[CATastrophe]

Okay, I thought of another album, a bit of a blast from the past.

Works Volume 1 by Emerson, Lake and Palmer is full of good romantic tunes.
C'est La Vie
Closer to Believing
Lend Your Love to Me Tonight
Nobody Loves You Like I Do


Lots of Andrea Bocelli fans! :Clap:

[TurkeyLurkey]

I remembered this from another post I just did.

"My D#$% in a Box" By JT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dmVU08zVpA

[CATastrophe]

Okay, one more, then I'll shut up.

Moody Blues Nights in White Satin

Damn this thread is addictive and I'm thinking of stuff I haven't listened to in ages!

[BrookieCookie777]

I'm a romantic so I like "Collide" can't remember who sings it - but it's soft alternitave . . .pretty new. "Crash" by Dave Matthews is pretty cool too.

[southernwriter]

Collide is by Howie Day. I lump it together with How To Save a Life by The Fray, Yellow by Coldplay and Delilah by Plain White T's. They're all awesome, mellow songs. Don't quite make me want to do the horizontal bop, though.

[ZannaPerry]

I've managed to pick out a special song for each of my characters and the one I fit best with my villain is by Marcy Playground, "Comin' Up from Behind." :) It's creepy and catchy! Check it out.

[stace001]

If I'm looking for slow and sexy, anything by Chris Isaac (that man is sex on legs) does it for me. But if I want fast and sexy...can't go past INXS or Powderfinger

[totidem_verbis]

Sadeness (Part I) - Enigma

Bestrafe Mich - Rammstein (but you have to be in a certain mood :D)

Wild Horses - The Sundays

World In My Eyes - Depeche Mode

[kristie911]

OMG...I can't believe I forgot this one:

Paradise By The Dashboard Light by Meatloaf

It's a classic. :)

[steveg144]

I know there's already a music thread going, but I am looking for help for one or two specific pieces for a scene in my novel. What is the hottest, sexiest, most sensual piece of music you can think of? I'm talking one that just with the first few bars gets the old hormones raging, the one that, if your life was set to music, would be playing when you have the most memorable (either real or imagined;)) experiences!!

The first few bars of "White Rabbit," before Gracie Slick starts singing. We're talking instantaneous "Hellooooooo, Nurse!" :tongue

[ZannaPerry]

Wild Horses is a GREAT ONE! I love it.

Also, anything by The Cranberries like When You're Gone, Zombie, etc...they have some good music to write with.

Gee, now you're going to need me to look through my music to find any others. :D I'm more than willing too!

[steveg144]

Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe is basically an aural sex scene lasting about 15 minutes. Listen to it and see if you agree. When I first heard it I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. The first few measures might not do much for you - unless you've heard it before and know what's, uh, coming.

I dunno, but that title reminds me of "Sixty Minute Man:"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixty_Minute_Man

But for anyone who has heard Daphnis and Chloe, just the mention of it should be enough to evoke the mood. Also, it has no lyrics, and even if it did it's old enough to be in the public domain so there's no worry about getting any rights to mention it in your work.

Yep. I've already specified to my wife that I want D&C on a repeat-loop ready for me to listen to on my deathbed. How could you not say a resounding "YES" at the end of your life listening to that?

[jennifer75]

This sounds sick...and it probably is, but

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails...

You want to fark me like a WHAT!?!?!?

[steveg144]

Bestrafe Mich - Rammstein (but you have to be in a certain mood :D)


Oh, heck yeah. Or better yet, Hierate Mich. Preferably the Live Aus Berlin version, with the audience chanting. ;)

[steveg144]

One more, then I have to get back to doing my real job:

Lullaby of Clubland, by Everything But the Girl, the version off the Adapt Or Die album. I had that blasting on the iPod when writing a scene in my novel where two of my characters have an "encounter" in a bar which spills over into a stairwell, and the tune was very inspirational.

[ZannaPerry]

Ohmigod! I love CLOSER!!!! Every time I'm in my car and it's playing I turn it up REAL LOUD! People look at me funny..........who cares!

[ZannaPerry]

Oh, my LORD! I can't express this enough but look up ANY BON JOVI SONG!!!!!! I LOVE BON JOVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What? Gypsy music gets me going. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm a gypsy fanatic.
