Halloween. The perfect day for musings on... music and love!

If you all can tear yourself away from party preparations and drunken zombie revelry for just a moment, can you tell me some of your favorite silly, sexy, cheesy, or sultry love songs?

omg, you are making a mix tape for a LADY, aren't you?

OK, you asked for it: Sit back, close your eyes, let me massage your temples. Open your eyes, and....PSYCH!....Ok, sorry. Download this cracktastic shit:

Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By

It's sexy, it's weird, it's cheesy. In other words, it's kind of my romantic worldview. (Except for the necrophilia song....)

Jeez oh man, THI! Now I'm blushing at work!

Here I thought I was being so sly and nonchalant and not-at-all transparent...

Thank you very much. I will download as soon as I get home later.

Probably didn't help that you wore a smoking jacket to work today. Playa! :)

I'm gonna deal with this like it's a list... I'm not bringing them all together, is that right? Here we go:

1. Silly - all of my songs, which are all silly. Probably the song about wearing socks in bed is the silliest. You've heard my songs, you know they are all silly.
2. Sexy - Doris Day - A womans touch and maybe Teachers Pet.
3. Cheesy - see Number 1, and any Abba songs, but especially When I kissed the teacher. Love it!
4. Sultry - Do that to me one more time by The Captain and Tennille, nah just kidding, sultry... oh definitely Dusty, anything!
5. Oh they are all meant to be love songs... that's moot, all songs are about love. Favourite love song ever (don't think I'm a dag Psim): Throw your arms around me by the Hunters and Collectors. It's the best, just the best (youtube will provide).

What about yours Dath?

Yes I am old. That's right, someone's dad's fave song. The funny thing about it is that when the Hunnas and Cleckas were around in the eighties (they're still around, you know what I mean), I thought they were a bit daggy... but like Cold Chisel, they've taken a place in my heart. Funnily enough all of those male-oriented songs... I couldn't deal with them when they were younger, but now what I love MOST about Throw Your Arms Around Me, is that its men who are there singing along with it, it's just so blokey, so vulnerable and blokey. Wrong lyrics and just great all at the same time.

I went out and found that sound... it's lovely (and totally my style). Thank you.

Hahahah, you are so so so transparent. Are you really making a mix tape? Will it have a hand drawn cover? Please say it will.

Van Morrison's "Crazy Love" and "Sweet Thing" - it works every time (on me)

aivilo_18 October 31 2008, 19:56:36 UTC

I love "Sweet Thing". Like, seriously *love* it. My pants always seem to mysteriously disappear whenever that song is played.

dathon November 3 2008, 01:29:01 UTC

Mmm... I'm definitely filing that tidbit of info away for a rainy day!

sandyosullivan October 31 2008, 22:36:16 UTC

With a heart and arrows! And maybe some crayon. And some interspersed text from tvshows you love. What? That's sexy. Oh, right, not so much.

Late as usual (I've been resting most of the day... went and overdid something, cos my side hurts) but:

Because The Night Patti Smith

Let's Get it On Marvin Gaye

have fun!
*g*

dathon November 3 2008, 01:24:16 UTC

Oh... Patti Smith. Good one!

Let's Get it On always makes me think of Jack Black. :-)

badtyler November 3 2008, 14:55:09 UTC

Hee!

I LOVE 'High Fidelity'!

OK... how about 'Sexual Healing'?-- obviously I love Marvin, too.

supersteph November 1 2008, 06:20:52 UTC

Haha, the most romantic gift from someone.... I really NEVER forget any mixed tapes!!

In your eyes- peter gabrial
seal- oh crap i forgot the name of the song.... but the first line goes "i have a secret, i thought you should know..." and just gets better from there.
seal again- the four album (where all the cool stuff is) and i just looked everywhere and decided atht you just have to add the entire album because theyre all just that good.

dathon November 3 2008, 01:25:05 UTC

I don't know that Seal song... I'm looking it up. Thanks!
