The sexiest song on my playlist these days

Semisonic's "Bed." Unfortunately, I bought my copy from iTunes, so sharing it would involve complicated (and illegal!) encryption-cracking manipulations, but you should still try to find it. I like the song because of the unusual use of the verb "to bed" -- the demand is just as blatant as "I want your sex," yet also erotically charged by the almost archaic form used. If you reformulate the message as "sleep with me or I'll find someone else who will," it's a lot less attractive, but as is I really enjoy it. (It doesn't hurt that "Well show me a friendship that's pure and chaste/And I'll show you an engine that's dying to race" makes me think of Lex, of course.)
