Closer. Closer please. Closer, I said.

The first time I heard this song my gut reaction was "This is shockingly mysoginistic". I don't know why, christian upbringing i suppose. But, if sexiness is defined by the pure expression of our most bestial urges, this has to be the sexiest song ever. Grrr.

Theres something by Eartha Kitt floating through my mind, toom but I can't quite recall right now

oh, and "Stray Cat Strut" by the Stray Cats, circa 198-something

Stray cat strut I'm a straaay cat....
but I blahdebadeebaaah that yo average cat...
Blahdeebahdeblah ... blah blah blah
I got cat class and I got cat style..."

I haven't seen any mention of it yet, but the song All Your Way by Morphine is terribly sexy.

Play it for a girl and she'll be putty in your hands. Well, at least, I would think so.

Oooh yes, "All Your Way" is a fantastic one. Morphine's sound is hell of sticky sweaty sexy in general.

The Black Heart Procession are sexy, in a dismal, fetid, "it's the end of the world so we might as well" kinda way.

There's a lot of songs I find sexy, mostly Enigma-- Mea Culpa and a couple other songs on their first album.

Beloved's Conscience contains some sexy music too.

Damn you KoopaFanatic!!! You beat me to mentioning Sin! That's definitely on my (long) list of sexy NIN songs. On the other hand, I think Sin is narrowly edged out by NIN's sweaty, screaming cover of Physical.

Shirley Manson's got a really sexy voice, but it's hard for me to pick one song. I personally think Garbage is best enjoyed as a "whole-album" experience, and sex is a big part of that. If I had to pick, though, I"d probably go with "Supervixen," "Wicked Ways" and "Hammering in my Head" (although I'm not crazy about her quasi-rant at the end).

I like Michael Stipe's voice too... it's an odd pick, but I really like the song "You" from the Monster album. The whole song feels very hot and damp and needy, and then rises to a desperate climax at the end. I also get the shivers from his very deep, sultry croon on "Star Me Kitten."

"Sex Type Thing" by Stone Temple Pilots... very immediate, very demanding, very hot. This definitely crosses over into the potentially creepy... the forcefulness, approaching the threat of violence, would probably repel me in most other situations, but in this song it becomes very, very exciting.

I'd go with "#1 Crush". Love that song myself. Totally sexy.

Nice to see all the Chris Isaak props, since my other online hangout is a CI board. But his sexiest song would have to be "Can't Do a Thing to Stop Me".

And lastly I will say "Heaven's Earth" by Delerium. Original version only.

A Thousand Kisses Deep by Leonard Cohen. Morphine's good too but I haven't heard the song Kosmo mentioned.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Mango by Bruck Cockburn yet! If the lyrics don't get you, Margo Timmins in the background will!

Humid gleaming precious well
Love to drink that water
Parallel worlds when the sun goes down
The atmosphere grows hotter

She's got a mango in her garden
sweet as can be
She's got a mango in her garden
full of mystery
She's got a mango in her garden
from the original tree
She's got a mango in her garden
shares it with me

I slid through the glistening gate
tide began to pound
tears of light poured over me
and riccocheted all around

No depravity, but it's hot anyway.

Oh yeah, and Sade - I put on Stronger Than Pride when I want some.

I think I love you.

oh yes, and I'll concur on Sin as well. And I might even be tempted to say ringfinger, even though it's probably not supposed to be.
