Ooooh... That Tickles!
06.10.04 (8:40 am)   [edit]
It would appear that in [url=http://dragonbait22.tblog.com...]Dragonbait22's [/url] absence, [url=http://redtigress.tblog.com]RedTigress[/url] has taken over the much coveted position as my muse. Indeed, RT's suggestion for a post on the world's worst music was so popular, that I have decided to use her latest suggestion as the topic for this post as well. That's right, folks ~ Break out the Barry White, it's time to talk about...

"The World's Best Make-Out Music."

Of course, RT has already sent me her list, (which I must say, made me smile), and I am rapidly compiling my own (which I've already determined will be *quite* different from what most people will suggest)... but in the meantime, as always, I want to hear from you first.

So... go on, spill it! What songs make you want to lock-lips with that special someone (or whoever might be in the room at the time)? What songs make it most likely that your date will be able to round more than one base or even hit an unexpected home run before the night is over? We all have songs that spark an almost pavlovian response when it comes to love. What are yours?

Thanks for that great picture of Barry White!

Make-out music: For me, it tends to be in the "instrumental or near-instrumental modern world music" category. The ideal mix would probably be the mellower moments of some of Peter Gabriel's soundtracks, plus some modern ethereal Celtic stuff like Enya or Loreena McKennitt, plus perhaps more songs from something like the Instrumental Moods / Pure Moods compilations.

And while Barry White is the master of the smooth seduction, my friend Duane pointed out that Touch & Go's song "Would You?" is the antithesis of the smooth seduction... but it's a fine seduction nonetheless. As Duane says: "What guy can honestly say the shy and nervous female vocals
of that song aren't straight out of your teen-age fantasies?"

The best music for making out is whatever's on.

I had a couple weird make-out moments to Radiohead's "OK Computer." Don't ask... but it was pretty cool.

I burned out on Eric Clapton's prom-tacular "Wonderful Tonight" in highschool, but that didn't stop me from wooing freshmen with it during my later years in college... me and a guitar on the frat house porch. Ha. Oh... Extreme's "More Than Words" was another favorite, as well as Dave Matthews Band's "Crash." Those freshman girls really loved those ones.

I'd be hard-pressed to think of a best make-out song. I think it depends heavily on who that special someone is. The song has to fit the mood of the evening (or whenever!), as well as have something that both parties can connect to.

Make-out music- tends to be a choice few songs. Nobody by Keith Sweat and Athena Cage is excellent. Celtic, instrumental music and some techno is generally good. Enya most definitely. This type of music has a calming effect on me anyway and so it has the ability to melt me if given the circumstances of being in John's presence while listening to this music.

is it wrong to think of something like Ben Harper's "Forever"? lol. or maybe Coldplay's "For You"? there are quite a few i used to make out to, but i can't remember them all. wow, chronic memory loss - ;-) lol. yeah, i'd have to say those. also a couple of Harry Conick Jr. songs, but lets keep that on the d/l.

I'm very disappointed in myself if I haven't convinced you that I can last through a Righteous Brothers song. Ah well... You know what they say, only one way to find out, right?

I think you have bigger issues to consider, my friend, if your only concern is to prove that you can "last through a Righteous Brothers song..." Personally, I rather hoped you'd set the bar just a wee bit higher. :)

Ok... fine... I guess you'll just have to show up down here at Fort Knox and just humiliate me and my stamina. There's no other answer.

Easy there, killer. Right now it's a black, 8-cylinder Camaro manual. Yeah, manual.

And no, not to compensate for anything.

In my defense as your inactive muse, RedTigress and I were actually discussing this topic when she thought to suggest it to you- so I wasn't entirely absent! :)

Anyway, there are way too many great make-out songs/bands/CDs to make a decent sample list, and it all really depends on the mood you want to be set, who you're with, and how far you want things to go, but here are just a few that come to mind:

Most of Nine Inch Nails' "Pretty Hate Machine"
Anything by Dave Matthews Band- particularly "Crush" or "Rapunzel"
"One More Time," "The Lovecats," "Let's Go To Bed," and "The 13th" by The Cure (ok, or anything else by the Cure)
And my number one choice:
"I Want You" by Elvis Costello

"Coldplay's "For You"

Good song, I think it's actually called "Yellow" though. I love it!
