The best sex songs

I read Jen’s memo that today’s Twisted Mixed Tape Tuesday theme is The Best Of. While I’m pretty sure she means that we’re supposed to choose a group and showcase their “best of’s,” you guys know that’s impossible for me. It’d be like saying “you are my forever favorite” to somebody besides Tucker. I mean, how can I choose ONE BAND and give you the very best of them? I can’t. It’d be like highlighting one of 40 favorites and I prefer to leave the choosing of the top 40 to those who know what they might be doing.

Speaking of Top 40. Have you ever heard this from Casey Kasem?  He pretty much lost his cool. As long as it’s not me, I find people losing their cool to be amusing.

Oops. Sorry. So Jen says this week is supposed to be the Best Of. Um. So I’m going to take a bit of liberty with The Best Of. However, so she doesn’t totally kick me out as a co-hostini, I’ll first say that the Best of … is … :

Metallica: One (duh)
Elton John: ALL OF HIM.
Simon and Garfunkel: Ouch. All of them. Again.
Fun: We Are Young
A Perfect Circle: The Noose (this is new to me, although it is not new, and I am LOVING IT.)

And yet. WTF is up with videos being so totally not what we hear in our heads? I heard something beautiful and tragic in this music. The video? Dumb. 

 

Ok so now that I’ve given you The Best Of’s for a few, I’m going to now give you the best sex songs from recent years.

The best sex songs

My first best sex song is Sex and Candy, by Marcy Playground. The lyrics “I smell sex and candy” are, all by themselves, awesome. Add them to a catchy tune, and voila:

My favorite BEST song is Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon. It is my belief that no matter who you are, or how old you are, if you don’t want to get up and dance to this, you’re crazy. Or perhaps not feeling very well.

There’s this thing about this song that I didn’t really think about for the first 200 times I heard it. And then I started to wonder. What, exactly, does the lead singer mean when he says “your sex is on fire?” I mean, I assumed it was all awesome-like and hot and, you know, “Baby, this sex is SOOO SOOO good that we’re on fie-yahh together!”

So-good-sex-on-fire

But then. I had the ugly darker thought of the funny icky side. Like what if it’s more like um. This? As in STD?

Sex-on-fire-what-did-you-do

Now, I can’t hear the song without wondering.  What do you think?

This is a Twisted Mixed Tape Tuesday Post, Einsteined by Jen Kehl. Come and tell us what music makes you think of “The Best Of.”

  • Kerri - Holy crap you make me laugh. The first thing I thought when I saw your title was, how Kristi can get her post to be the most retweeted on Twitter 🙂 When I got to the Kings of Leon I had the same FREAKING thought. He gave some woman an STD and now her sex is on fire.

    But best song for sex? The Doors: Come on baby light my fire!!!September 3, 2013 – 10:03 amReplyCancel

  • Kristi Campbell - Kerri,
    Hey I didn’t even think about the Twitter aspect. Cool side effect! Great minds when it comes to STDs, right?
    Oh and yeah, come on baby light my fire is AWESOME.

  • Linda Roy - Hahahaha!! Hilarious! “My sex is on fire…” I like your take on the prompt Kristi! Bringing sexy to Twisted Mixtape!September 3, 2013 – 11:43 amReplyCancel

  • Janine Huldie - Seriously, I have enjoyed all the best of links this week, but yours by far took the cake and then some!! And couldn’t help, but smile going through your list, but if I was to do a best of sex list, I still couldn’t forget “I wanna sex you up”, but Color Me Bad. Sorry, but just such a classic to me and had to add to your already awesome list!! 🙂September 3, 2013 – 11:45 amReplyCancel

  • Considerer - Zed. Oh. Em. Gee! The drawings 🙂 You always get me at the drawings 😀

  • Tamara - I’m right. This is brilliant, like I said it would be. I’m having trouble typing because..well..I can’t stop giggling. That’s it. I’m not laughing. I’m not cracking up. I’m giggling to myself like a madwoman over the Casey Kasem bit.

    Consider that the “Best of” this sad, sordid day. At least my sex isn’t on fire. Whew. Maybe tomorrow.September 3, 2013 – 4:23 pmReplyCancel

  • Lanaya | Raising Reagan - Bahaha … I adore A Perfect Circle. Think I’m needing to add them back into my playlist again.
    The Marcy Playground song was SO played out when it first came on the scene that it lost it’s appeal to me .. though I will say I still know the words and will rock a good solo if needed 🙂

    This was like disco lemonadeSeptember 3, 2013 – 6:53 pmReplyCancel

  • Dana - I barely read the rest of your post because I was laughing too hard over Casey Kasem. Who knew he could curse like a sailor? And maybe I’m weird, but the FIRST thing I thought of when I heard Sex on Fire was very similar to your second drawing. My mind just went there; I can’t help it.September 3, 2013 – 8:42 pmReplyCancel

  • JenKehl - Dude! What the hell is wrong with you? You are like a one woman funny farm! I’m sending the twinkie van over to your house to pick you up!September 3, 2013 – 8:57 pmReplyCancel

  • Slu - Hey Yo… I love coming around your place on Tuesday’s because I know I’m gonna be rewarded with a huge smile, a good read, and some good music. Never disappointed.

    Thanks, SluSeptember 3, 2013 – 9:17 pmReplyCancel

  • Darla @ Moms World - I loved this! You followed the theme enough and One is definitely one of Metallica’s best songs…and The Noose! Yes! One of my favorite A Perfect Circle songs (aside from their remake of Imagine!) 🙂September 3, 2013 – 9:28 pmReplyCancel

  • Kari - You are such a rule-breaker!! lol… Here I am trying so hard to stay inside the lines…I didn’t know I could break the rules! 😉

    Anyway, funny stuff here… and I LOVE that Kings of Leon song!September 3, 2013 – 10:01 pmReplyCancel

  • Natalie - The Cat Lady Sings - Oh my, I didn’t even think of the other reasons the sex might be on fire…September 3, 2013 – 10:59 pmReplyCancel

  • Michelle Liew - Oh wow……I think we’d all think twice before doing it now. ;pSeptember 3, 2013 – 11:45 pmReplyCancel

  • Stephanie @ Mommy, for Real. - You may have just ruined that song for me forever. But it’s okay. I’ll forgive you because you’re so funny. But I will always think of STDs now when I hear it. And I LOVE that Marcy Playground song. Love it. Flashing back… NOW!September 3, 2013 – 11:58 pmReplyCancel

  • Kimberly - It could be gonorrhea. I’m not saying that I know what that is because I’m clean.
    Except on Sundays because I’m a honey badger on Sundays…I don’t give a shit about showering. It’s my hygiene off day.
    I lurve fun and yes, I hate it when videos make absolutely no sense…or the song means something totally different than I had interpreted to be.
    When I think of sex, my head goes back to that song “Let’s talk about sex”September 4, 2013 – 2:46 amReplyCancel

  • Sarah Almond - BA HA HA! My sex is on fire cuz I got an std… Damn you Kristi Campbell! I’ll never hear that song again without laughing!September 4, 2013 – 8:55 amReplyCancel

  • troy P. - Awesome idea! But you forgot the obvious choice for this one – as noted by Clark on his page – “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring…!”September 4, 2013 – 2:29 pmReplyCancel

  • catherine gacad - OMG that Casey Kasem clip had me cracking up!September 9, 2013 – 8:28 amReplyCancel

  • Mike - LOL…howling laughing at “Have you ever heard of Casey Kasem?” I grew up with him on the radio! And I will qualify that this sailor has been out to sea way too long but I have never ever thought of a sex song when I’m in bed with a girl. I’m soooo focused on her and any dialogue, sounds, breathing, touching that I wouldn’t want music to even remotely detract from that! Maybe I’ve been missing out with the sex music? I don’t think so but sure up to trying new things! Ok…gotta have sex first, huh? LOL 🙂February 20, 2014 – 11:26 pmReplyCancel
