Sirius XM 80’s station played Diana Ross’ song Muscles last night. It was the first time I’d heard it in years, and it inspired me to create a set list of un-apolgetic sex songs. Most are sultry with a slow tempo.
I left out the obvious “Sexual Healing” only because I’ve finally grown tired of it, at least for now. I thought Vanity 6’s Nasty Girls worked, but couldn’t find a decent Spotify version.
Most are pop (and popular!) top 40 songs. I imagine most people who predominantly consume pop culture/music may not know Lucida William’s song Righteously. Though grittier than the rest, the bass bounces like a cheap hotel mattress and the subject matter fits right in. I imagine Lucinda instructing Doug Pettibone to make his guitar buzz and hum like a vibrator. Of course, it probably didn’t play out that way.
As I finished the set list, I wondered if I had any songs that fit the bill, and thought of two. The first, “Hot, Hot, Hot” circa 1995 was never recorded, but I added “You Got Me Coming”, blessed by Katy from Wale’s vocals and included on Moxie StarPark’s cd “The Floor”.
Can you think of any songs that fit the bill? Please use this collaboration link to add them! I’d especially love to include any creations by my fellow songwriters! Don’t be shy!
