Top 10 Songs That Are Guaranteed To Make Her Hot For You

 
I was recently asked during a media interview what my favorite “love song” was.

My first “knee jerk” reaction was, well…NO reaction.

I mean, I’m a guy. Who asks a dude a question like that and expects an answer any different than, say, “Let’s Get Drunk And Screw” by Jimmy Buffett? I mean, it’s just begging for a sarcastic retort, at best.

But your boy–being the mature type such that I am–took the high road. I asked for a few seconds to think about my answer, and I gave one. It was a REAL good one, actually (see #1 below).

And the more I thought about it, the more I came to the realization that all of as guys really should give more thought to that question. It really is an excellent idea to have some really amazing “love songs” in mind…you know, should the need for one ever arise.

Here’s the thing though. I suspect that a lot of y’all are like me. You hear the term “love song” and immediately think of something sappy and wussified like “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt or “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman.

Heck, even most of the old Motown classics like “Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch” and “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” are lame because they’re needy as all get out (whatever that means).

But hold your horses, my brethren.

A “love song”, assuming it’s the right one at the right time, can be immensely powerful. Music doesn’t only calm the savage beast, it can make a beautiful, spunky vision of femininity VERY, VERY horny for you.

It’s all in the “strategery” behind the choice you make in the moment. Hence, this latest installment in what appears to be turning into a “Hot For You” series of sorts, for lack of a more proper title.

If you want to set the mood in a decidedly sexually polarized direction, you’re going to want to have a great song in mind to slow dance to, drink a glass of red wine by or even lay down together in the bed of your pickup truck and stargaze with. (What, you mean your pickup doesn’t support playing MP3s through your iPod?)

After I finished up the interview I’ll admit I was nothing short of excited to spend the next half hour or so figuring out what my “top ten” hottest songs would be to listen to with a woman.

Now see, I already know you’re going to end up crumpling up soda cans and flinging ‘em at the computer screen. Have you ever NOT done that whenever some honk like me comes up with a list like this?

But hey…that’s the beauty of The Blogosphere. You get to have your say in the “comments” section below. And to be perfectly frank, I’m very much looking forward to your remembrance of some great tunes I surely have completely overlooked.

So here we go. For what it’s worth, the threefold criteria for making the cut were very simple: 1) The song has to support masculine dignity (i.e. no wimpy desperation allowed), 2) it has to be a legitimately good song musically, and 3) it has to make women hornier than a bunny on ‘shrooms (make that two bunnies on ‘shrooms).

 
10) Unchained Melody – The Righteous Brothers

Right up front, I’m going to acknowledge the majority of you who probably think this list is already degenerating into a cliché. Let me assure you that overall it’s far from that, which you’ll soon discover.

Nevertheless, you’ve got to give this old “stand by” tune the props it deserves. It didn’t need the movie Ghost to make its case, but that sure didn’t hurt.

I’ll tell you what. Feel free to sub in “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” by The Platters here if you must. It too is a giant among slow-dance anthems.

 
9) Something – The Beatles

If you’re younger than, say, 50 it’s altogether likely that you’ve never stopped to truly consider how majorly epic a song this is. If you know the chick you’re with has a thing for The Fab Four, then you’d especially better get this on your iPod ex post haste.

The sheer versatility of this song is what gives it power. You can just let it “accidentally” play over your car stereo while driving around with a woman and it’ll make her think positive, warm and fuzzy things about you.

 
8) Lovesong – The Cure

I’m a child of the ‘80’s personally, and alternative music was always my favorite.

This particular tune, penned by The Cure’s frontman Robert Smith for his future wife, is quite simply one of those songs that stops you in your tracks and gets you to reflect on how passionately hot you are for your “significant other”—usually right there in the moment.

This song may be the closest on this list to crossing the line over into “sappiness”, but fans of 80’s “college music” will see things my way.

(Hey…be glad I didn’t list “Friday I’m In Love” here, let alone anything by Spandau Ballet or Culture Club.)

 
7) A Woman Like You – Lee Brice

Here’s my obligatory tip of the hat to Country Music fans out there.

Personally, I resisted becoming a fan of country music until I was well into my thirties. That only changed after I took a job back in 2004 that I had to wake up insanely early for.

I tuned my clock radio to the twang station and plugged it into the socket at the farthest point in my bedroom away from the bed.

My reasoning, of course, being that nothing would get me to jump out of bed faster at such an ungodly hour in the name of making Randy Travis’ voice stop haunting my dreams.

But within a couple of weeks I had developed the habit of leaving the radio on while I took a shower and brushed my teeth, dadgum it.

Truthfully, this genre has produced more songs that make Texas Mamas (who I adore) sweaty between the thighs than any other, with the possible exception of R & B.

Within the last year or so this selected tune by Lee Brice has captured the ability to make a woman fall in love with whomever plays it for her faster than any other I can think of offhand.

 
6) Drowning Man – U2

This cut is buried deep within the altogether legendary album “War” from the early ‘80s. Crafted in much of the same style as other tracks found on side one like “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and “New Year’s Day”, what sets this one apart is a slower, more atmospheric vibe and decidedly sensual lyrics.

There is no better album to play while out on the beach alone under the late-summer moonlight on a blanket with the hottest girl you’ve ever met. And this is the song that punctuates the entire experience with an exclamation point.

The irony is that this little number, as is the case with much of U2’s early work, is more spiritually focused than many listeners realize. Weirdly, that makes it even more powerful romantically for some esoteric reason—even though it’s really not about a girl at all.

I have to say that we’re getting into some “rarified air” here. The case could very well be made for any song from this one forward to have been #1, depending on the rationale.

 
5) At Last – Etta James

This is the song that Emily and I danced to at our wedding, the lyrics having very special meaning for us.

A particularly passionate, heartfelt tune—and the only one on this list sung by a woman—this song really should be reserved for someone you’ve truly fallen in love with.

In other words, you can’t take playing this one around women lightly. Dancing WILL happen, and breaking up will suddenly become VERY hard to do…all in a flash.

If you want to pick another “old standard” instead that’s every bit as jazzy and soulful, reach for “Unforgettable”…but only the original version by the incomparably smooth and badass Nat King Cole, please.

 
4) Let’s Stay Together – Al Green

If you’re somewhat young, you might not know this song by its title. Heck, there’s a solid chance you may not even know who Al Green is.

But do a quick search on YouTube or iTunes and you’ll recognize this classic almost immediately as soon as you hear the opening riff.

Let’s just throw it on the table, here. This is a seriously good song, all around—the kind that had to have even made Marvin Gaye jealous.

After all, despite some lyrics that tread on the “slippery slope” of chasing vs. choosing, this song probably makes two normal, red-blooded homo sapiens want to get it on more than “Let’s Get It On” does. And although that jukebox legend and several other R & B classics (e.g. “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine” by Lou Rawls) could have made this list, Al Green delivers in “Let’s Stay Together” another one of those versatile, utilitarian songs that you can play almost anytime, anywhere with solid results.

Bonus points if you can nail this one at a karaoke bar.

And now we’re down to the top three…all of which are true “barnburners” with flat-out guaranteed results…

 
3) I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More – Barry White

Where would this list be without Barry Freaking White? It’d have to be a “Top Nine” list otherwise.

Geez, you could throw the whole Barry White “boxed set” in this space, if there is such a thing. The Dude was “pimp” before “pimpin’” was cool.

But this truly mind-blowing song gets my vote for king of the whole collection.

Nothing I’ve ever heard gets anyone who can fog a mirror to think pornographic thoughts without actually being pornographic quite like this song does.

As a matter of fact, the local “adult book store” here in San Antonio uses this song as the background for its radio commercials…which in a weird way actually insults the elegant sensuality of it.

As primally evocative as the tune is, it’s so clean that it deserves better than to be made dirty…if you get my point.

 
2) Closer – Nine Inch Nails

Okay, the gloves are now off. This song straight-up is pornographic. There’s no pretense there.

And yes, I’m usually a high-class guy who would generally keep most of my online “top ten” lists above board.

But in this case I’m literally compelled to tell it like it is. Were this unabashedly dirty song not on this list—and near the top—I’d be exposed as a total novice. If you want “kinder and gentler” rock and roll picks, you won’t offend me by going with either “More Than Words” by Extreme or “Faithfully” by Journey, both of which worked wonders for my dating life back in the day.

In the real world, however, those chumps don’t hold a candle to Nine Inch Nails as far as the purpose at hand is concerned. Steve Perry in particular forever turned me against his ilk when he stuck his scrawny leather-clad buttocks in the camera during the first (and last) live Journey concert I attended…and proceeded to wiggle it close-up on the big screen for what must have been three full minutes.

But back to the main point…”Closer” by Nine Inch Nails.

As if you needed me to inform you, this song makes 99% of all grown-up women nothing short of uncontrollably horny RIGHT NOW when they hear it. And the other 1% are most certainly lying through their teeth, all in a futile attempt to remain “prim and proper”.

Yes, I realize the harsh reality of all this may strike you as rather unfair, uncouth or even straight-up counter-intuitive…especially if you’re “Mr. Nice Guy”.

But wow…the facts speak for themselves. Women tend to have dark and VERY naughty fantasies, and this song literally shocks them all to the visceral surface.

Thank you, Trent Reznor, for this masterpiece. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh, and use this song with EXTREME CAUTION, gents. You really can’t just roll up on any random girl, give her your headphones, say, “hey, listen to this” and expect anything good to happen. Like every other song on this list, actually, you’ve got to have some “field sense” for the correct time and place deploy this secret weapon.

Get that right in this case, however, and you’d better have birth control on hand–because she’ll probably forget to care.

 
1) I Burn For You – Sting

You wanted “obscure”? You’ve got it.

This particular song is a tribal dreamscape of otherworldly passion and raw libido in action.

In fact, it’s probably better that most people DON’T know about it. Otherwise, It could be banned in all 50 states and most of the English-speaking world where other such ruthlessly narcotic substances are expressly prohibited by law.

Playing this song in the dark while making out with a woman is unfair. It’s dirty pool. It’s just wrong.

But it’s oh, so right also.

Although originally recorded by The Police on the somewhat rare soundtrack of the motion picture Brimstone And Treacle, the absolute best version is found within the “Bring On The Night” set from the “Dream Of The Blue Turtles” tour.

 

Right now I can imagine an audience full of pretty fired up readers—all looking for an excuse to do the “wild thang” with someone. That’s what you get for actually YouTubing all of those dangerous tunes in a row, huh?

Yes, it was a ton of fun compiling this list and even more so to elaborate upon it. And yes, ten songs tend to fit nicely on a single CD (hint).

But again, considering there have got to be as many different opinions on this subject as people out there with a healthy sex drive, I’d really love to hear your thoughts.

What song should have made this list that didn’t? On the other hand, are there any I listed that should be buried in concrete and never allowed to offend human ears again?

I’ll be happy to give props where they’re due…

 

Be Good,

Scot McKay

P.S. The music angle is cool and all, but let’s face it…it’s even better if you know how to make the right move that gets her uncontrollably hot for you right there on the spot. Here’s how to do that.
