Summertime and the loving is easy...so easy I can think of songs that make me want to sweat or make me want to make someone else sweat. So here are ones that I can think of offhand.
Ash -- "Goldfinger"
It sounds sexy, drowsy, and makes me think of making out in a basement room during a summer rainstorm. And when Tim Wheeler gets right up on the mic and croons, "Move closer, set my mind on fire...", I'm like, "Don't mind if I do."
Bongwater -- "Nick Cave Dolls"
Ann Magnuson is one sexy sexy bitch. Guess what I do!/That's right./I throw caution to the wind and peel off my girdle/And take my place on the red vinyl ottoman/That stands in the middle of the lobby/The walls are covered in full-length mirrors/
You have to admit the scene is pretty sexy/Then, I think to myself.../"Is it politically correct to even be here?"/
I mean, look what happened to Dorothy Stratton/Then I decide.../"Oh, the hell with it, I'm horny!" For the record, I want a Nick Cave doll AND an Anne Magnuson doll.
Jeff Buckley -- "Lover, You Should've Come Over"
This song reminds me of walking back through the French Quarter one early morning as I left a late-night rendezvous. It was cool, misty, and I could hear the barges on the river. I was sated, content, and I kept hearing this in my head.
PJ Harvey -- "Long Snake Moan"
For more the agressive make-out artist. And haven't we all been that person?
Scissor Sisters -- "Lovers in the Backseat"
"Would you like a cigarette,/Or my hand upon your shoulder?/I think we might have met/Would you like me to come over?" This song can be like pure desire streaming into my head. I danced at a lovely club in New Orleans to this song with a very pretty stranger.
Throwing Muses -- "Snakeface"
I like to think of this song as being very seductive in the right moment. I like Kristen Hersh's voice when she says, "One more button undone/You talk too loud I'm talking to you/Talk it into the ground/Move me/Snake Snake
Face out an open window/Fire in my eyes/Beat me to it/Meet me here next time..."
Boss Hog -- "I Dig You"
For those late-night make-outs at parties where you know pretty much everybody but wait, there's this new guy there you don't, so you walk over with a beer and...
anything by Jon Spencer. And I shouldn't have to explain why.
"Ribbons" -- Sisters of Mercy
Dark shadows, dark kisses, and boys who smell cloves and sweat and cigarettes. Love is a many splintered thing, indeed....
Your choices, my dears? |
