Marvin Gaye Helps Make Babies, This Playlist Will Too

marvin gaye Marvin Gaye Helps Make Babies, This Playlist Will TooThe candles are lit. The lights are off. Yeah, you know exactly what time it is. Yep, it’s sexy time. You hop into bed with nothing but pure silence surrounding you. Something is wrong. Your awkwardness needs something to mask it. And that’s when you push play. Marvin starts singing the praises of Sexual Healing. Your lovah, lovah looks at you with those “I’m gonna have your baby” eyes. The shit is about to get real.

Okay, that’s what used to happen around my house. Now? Well, with two small children, sexy time is a very calculated move. You plan ahead of time. When? Where? How? We must be quiet! Shhhh! You’ll wake the baby! Oh the irony. The direct result of sexy time ends up being that you never get to actually have the sexy time. Why, god? Why?!

For those of you that have grown children, no children, or a good lock on your bedroom door, I’ve designed a playlist with nothing but sexy time in mind. This is for everyone that occasionally has a tingle in their naughty parts. So, grab a partner, dim the lights, and let the audible sexy times commence.

1. “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye

If I even have to start to explain why this is on the list, you don’t deserve to have sexy time. Matter of fact, your license to use your giblets has now been revoked. Now get back to your mother’s basement.

2. “Glycerine” by Bush

The lyrics of this song are all over the place. Truthfully, I don’t even know what they mean. I like the rhythm though and it makes me want to get all sexified. Give it a try. Thank me later.

3. “Nobody” by Keith Sweat

If you were getting some action in 1996, this song was on in the background. If you weren’t getting any action, you have no clue what I am talking about. Again, back to your mother’s basement.

4. “Turn Me On” by Nora Jones

Nora’s voice make you feel sexy. Sometimes, she makes you feel sexier than you actually are. The good part? You ARE actually sexier when you are listening to this song. Enjoy responsibly.

5. “That’s The Way Love Goes” by Janet Jackson

It’s Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty. Janet certainly knows how to induce some naughty thoughts. This song is no exception.

6. “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails

Yes, I know this is the most stereotypical stripper song out of the bunch. But, it is plainly stated and if it’s good enough for a peeler, it’s good enough for me.

7. “That’s What It’s Made For” by Usher

Mr. Usher Raymond makes the ladies go wild. We know this. This song, however, will make everyone go wild. Why? That’s what it’s made for, stupid.

8. “Red Light Special” by TLC

Ah, those crafty ladies of TLC and their sexy time songs. With references to the “Southern Route”, you’ll have no choice in the matter. Prepare yourself.

9. “Wicked Game” by Chris Issak

Flashback to 1989. Now, sit down and turn on MTV. This is the only video known to man that makes sex on the beach actually look appealing to men and women alike.

10. “Sexual Healing” by Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye twice on the same list? You bet your ass. Marvin was the king of sexy time. He owned it and probably still has the patent. One of his songs alone, can repopulate a whole village. Respect, folks. Respect.

Now, you have no choice but to push play and let the sexy times roll. I will take all the credit for your improved sex life. However, I will not be taking part in any paternity suits. Enjoy at your own risk.

TJ hopes you use this playlist to combat the forces of evil.

    Brilliant! I’ve never seen a Sexiest Song list include Glycerine, but I can’t agree more. And I can’t hear the name “Chris Isaak” without saying “baby did a bad, bad thing” in my head, which sounds super sexy if you ask me.

  • http://awomaninsearchof.blogspot.com Alyson

    Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On is responsible for my five year old. Well, that and the bastard lied about the vasectomy.

    Ah, memories.

    Aaaw yeah. Leave all the snakes alone. Oh wait, I’m thinking of the time Barry White was on The Simpsons. My bad.

    • http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson

      Shit, man! I totally forgot to put some Barry on this list. If you are reading this from the heavens, Barry, I am truly sorry. I just can’t get enough of your love. Baby.

  • DianaCLT

    Wicked Game….*NOM* *NOM* *NOM* That is one of mine and my hubby’s songs.

    Staind. It’s been a while. That one line…”I can still remember just the way you taste.” Yesssssssssss.

  • atomicgal

    I was going to ask about Barry White until I saw the previous comment.

    I’d add Kashmir by Led Zeppelin to the list too.

    “The direct result of sexy time ends up being that you never get to actually have the sexy time. Why, god? Why?!”

    Yes! This is so funny and yet also so sad that it is making me cry happy tears and regular tears all together.

      I came up with that the other night while I was trying to describe a typical night at my house to a friend of mine. It used to be 1) Get drunk. 2) Watch a movie on the couch. 3) It’s sexy time. Now? Not so much.

    Not to, um, ruin any sexy time, but Glycerine is about Gavin’s breakup with a model named Jasmine, and also the death of Nigel the guitarist’s father.

    How about Alien from the same album instead? Good bass lines = sexy time.

    • http://studioeightonesix.wordpress.com TJ Johnson

      Okay, so maybe Glycerine isn’t a sexy time song after all. Why does it make me get all sexified though?

  • http://www.llegl.wordpress.com Denise

    I wonder what it says about me that I have actually had sex to everyone one of these songs? Great list, I’m strolling down memory lane right now.

  • Suzy Q

    “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel was some good sexy times for me. Every time I hear it, I remember Paul.

    Also, Chris Isaak? YUM.

  • Sarah

    I’ve always thought “Crash” by Dave Matthews Band was incredibly sexy. However, the most sexified song ever has got to be Paul Coles “Feeln’ Love”…yowza!

    • Sarah

      Ooops I meant PAULA Cole…seriously give it a listen and look up the lyrics…it’s nuts!

      • Andrea

        You are so right! Hearing that song now makes me blush.

        • http://fawnlikeadeer.blogspot.com Fawn Amber

          “Feelin’ Love” is my go-to sexy time song.

          Also “Nasty Naughty Boy” by Christina Aguilera. JAYZUS!!!

  • http://muirnait.blogspot.com Heather

    I think I may bookmark this for future reference ;-)

  • Gigi

    “Glycerin” just sounds raw and sexy. You could probably listen to an elevator version w/o the lyrics and sexy time would get even sexier… It’s not about the lyrics at all, although Gavin Rossdale’s voice is pretty hot too. Maybe he could just go, “lalalalaaa lalalalaaa lalalala lalalala … Glycerin.”

    How dare you put Chris Isaac on that list. My ears and hooha are offended. ;)

    I won’t be having any sex for a while and it’s certainly not because I have children (because I totally don’t). but I may consider a playlist for Rosie.

    I’m pretty sure that the inclusion of any Bush song would put an immediate end to sexy time, so that I or my boyfriend could smash the stereo to bits. However, “Wicked Game” would be alright.

    My own sexy time songs include Portishead’s “Glory Box,” Joan Osborne’s “Dracula Moon,” and Curve’s “Unreadable Communication.”
