There are certain songs that just get me goin'.
Yes, I'm the girl you pull up next to at the red light. You know? The one who's dancing her fool head off, seducing the steering wheel and singing out loud like she's making her own music video? Yep, that's me!
I've been considering making a mix cd for myself to keep my spirits up and the juices flowing during those moments of trepidation about my soldier's return. I have a few songs in mind and I'm open to suggestions. I can't put my finger on what turns me on about these songs...
Is it the beat of it?
With the first few beats of Let's Get It Started by the Black Eyed Peas, my head starts bopping. Forget it, you can't go wrong with some Fergie and Will.I.Am.
I discovered a band called She Wants Revenge earlier this year. The hypnotic rhythms and sexy lyrics of their song Tear You Apart make me want to tear someone else's clothes off and hip-grind right into them. The song reminds me of doing whippets in high school and listening to The Cure.
The way the music wraps around your hips and gets them moving just so? (maybe its my Latina heritage?)
In These Shoes by Kirsty MacColl does that to me.
I also can't help but attempt to pull from my past belly dancing classes when I hear Hips Don't Lie by Shakira. (and she's just so damn hot anyway)
I do seem to respond to sultry voices too.
Seal's singing Waiting for You and I close my eyes and run my hands through my hair.
When I hear Sting's song Sister Moon I want to take all of my clothes off ever.....so.....slowly.
Maybe its the lyrics?
These lyrics from Jason Mraz's song Butterfly seem to do the trick:
I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm dancin' with you
I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a song about you
And you have your own engaging style
And you've got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like
That's if you crash and spend the night
But you don't fold, you don't fade
You've got everything you need, especially me
Sister you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all
Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
Because they're the perfect jumping off point of getting closer to your
Butterfly
Well you float on by
Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let's mood the lights and finally make it right
But you don't fold, you don't fade, you've got everything you need
Especially me
Sister you've got it all
Doll I need to see you pull your knee socks up
Let me feel you up side, down slide, in slide, out slide, over here
Climb in my mouth now child
Butterfly, well you landed on my mind
Dammit you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
Now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
I wanna fly with you and I don't wanna lie to you
Cause I, cause I can't recall a better days
I'm coming to shine on the occasion
You're an open minded lady
You've got it all
And I never forget a face
If I'm making my own
I have my days
Let's face the fact here, it's you that's got it all
You know that fortune favors the brave
Well let me get paid while I make you breakfast
The rest is up to you, you make the call
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all
Cause I can't recall a better day
I'm coming to shine on the occasion
You're a sophisticated lady, oh you've got it all
Oh my... I love a man who's good with words....
Forget it, after these songs, I am nearly panting with anticipation. Damn that boy can't get here fast enough.
I need some help! What songs make you feel sexy?
Joss Stone - Put Your Hands On Me
ReplyDeleteAh...anything that I can move my hips to makes me feel sexy. I really enjoy some reggaeton music in the latino genre, and some good Colombian vallenato like Carlos Vives sings. Yes, Shakira is a favorite as well. A good bolero or some bossa nova is super-romantic and lovely to make love to...but to flirt I like the samba, salsa...I love to move my body and that makes me feel sexy because I know that I dance well.
ReplyDeleteSee? Now just find me a gay latino dance partner and I'll be completely happy with absolutely NO PRESSURE!
:) Be well, T.
Oh, um...yeah. Llamas have GREAT hips and it might seem grotesque to imagine us camelloids shakin' our booties...but you'll just have to trust me on this one.
ReplyDeleteI suggest "Remember Then" by The Earls. Its subtle yet driving backbeat, soaring melody, and unforgettable harmonies will be stuck in your head all day.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun post. I have to admit something though... and don't tell. It is the "fun" songs that leave me feeling sexy. Sure, a sax can really do wonders as can some other very nice songs, but there is a playful/sexy side of me that comes out when I hear the fun songs... Like Santa Baby... that is a song I can play with. And I adore the version of Take A Chance on Me from Mamma Mia... fun, flirty, sexy, and playful.
ReplyDeleteI love the sensual and sexy music, but I love the playful and flirty songs bring out the mischievous side of me!
Feeling Love by Paula Cole.
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to do a strip tease for my man (and had one to do a strip tease for!), it would be this song.
Woohoo!! These are all sexy and fun! I'm with you, TE, I like the playful ones too... that's why I like In These Shoes so much.
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming! This is awesome!
I'm your pole?
ReplyDeleteFunny!
For me, certain songs make me feel strong or heroic even, instead of sexy. Tiesto's Adagio For Strings is a song that has played wayyy to much in my car lately.
ReplyDeleteI was just creating a playlist for myself, so thanks for all of the suggestions :) I go with Jazz :)
ReplyDeleteI like the beat of things, especially Latin music, and those that are soulful. Shakira, Christian Castro, Marco Antonio Solis, Chayanne, Selena, Thalia - all favorites.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites tend to be country. Toby Keith's "You Leave Me Weak", Sarah Johns' "Touch Me", Trace Adkins' "I Left Something Turned On at Home", Brooks & Dunn's "Mama Don't Get Dressed Up for Nothin'".
Oh, my all-time favorite turn-on song (the one that actually does make me a little hot) is "You're Makin' Me High" by Toni Braxton. Oh yeah. :)
Christina Aguilera- Dirty

always makes me wanna shake it...
I really like John Mayer's Your Body is a Wonderland.
ReplyDeleteA couple years ago Shawn made me a CD of song that remind him of me and on the cd is Rascal Flatts Fast Cars and Freedom. Whenever I hear that song I feel a little more upbeat.
Love your blog! The song that can always melt my butter is Touch of Heaven by Richard Marx. Also like Miracles by Jefferson Starship. Tangled Up by Billy Currington. Ain't Nobody by Chauka Kahn. Rock Steady by Bryan Adams & Bonnie Raitt. Ai Du by Ali Farka Toure & Ry Cooder (from the movie Unfaithful).
ReplyDeleteI know, I know...talk about from one end of the spectrum to another! ;-)
Tool makes me feel powerful. Nothing like Stinkfist to get the juices flowing. It's great for my creativity, too!
ReplyDeleteI am that girl too! And when my kids are in the car - we are that band ;) and my car actually moves along too!
ReplyDeleteMy Hips dont Lie is my ring tone - I LOVE that song!
I am also really enjoy Will.I.Am at the moment!!
I love music and always have something playing!
I love Moby's "The Sky is Broken" - mellow, brooding, ambient, sexy...
