Time of the Season - Zombies
Neko Case - she is a song, really
Fascination Street - The Cure
A couple tracks from "Night on Planet Earth" I don't know the name of - Tom Waits
Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen
The list is much longer than this, but each one of these songs flips a little switch in me and suddenly I am Romeo -without all the poison and death.
How about your songs? Which tunes make you feel seductive, amorous.

Tori Amos is an especially naughty girl to me.
Lucinda Williams "Righteously":
"...get me all worked up like that..."
For some reason, also Nelly's "Over and Over Again"
Lots by Cowboy Junkies, especially from Trinity Sessions...yummy
BG, I know Tori personally. I could ask her to meet with you if you like. Maybe you two could jam.
Chellpenz, that Lucinda song belongs on my list. I kind of got into an 80's thing, but yes ... very yummy song.
Grrr...Blogger is hatin me today...let's see if it goes through this time.
For the more sort of romantic seductive side of things, I have to give props to Bowie's cover of "Wild is the Wind" from the Station to Station album.
For the dirty side of things--"Queer" from Garbage's first album.
And I totally concur with Monsieur Bonhomme...Lady Miss Tori has some exquisite naughty goin down.
BTW--Have you seen Transformers yet? How was it?
RJ, that reminds me ... Milk by Garbage ... ugggh. Painfully gorgeous.
Re: Transformers. I promised my son we could see it back to back and we did just that. Long day.
Honestly, I loved it. It's flawed in so many ways, but I really enjoyed it. Hard not to love a movie with evil robot leaders that use words like "cretin". And as cheesy as they are likely to be, I am looking forward to any sequels.
K. Wood--I'd forgotten Milk..I used to have a great remix. Shirley Manson's voice is spectacular...she always leaves me feeling colder when I'm done listening to her. Number 1 Crush from the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack is quality too.
"Over the Ocean" by Low
"Black Star" Gillian Welch
and as chellpenz has brought up the Cowboy Junkies their cover of "Sweet Jane" is top drawer stuff.
Pretty much anything by Jeffrey Foucault, but "Dove and the Waterline", "Bluest Blade" or "Americans in Courdoroys"
And in terms of quality of writing, try "Laramie Wyoming" or "The Janoitor" by Richmond Fontaine - Willy Vlautin is the closet thing to Raymond Carver that there is in rock.
Oh, and "Levi Stubbs Tears" by Billy Bragg, for the first line "With the money from her accident, she bought herself a mobile home".
I'll stop now :)
Actually, Keith I'll confess my elction above are good as opposed to sexy, but chellpenz is right about Lucinda, though I think I'd rather listen to her than know her personally...
Matt, good to hear from you. Jesus, the Raymond Carver of rock! That is intriguing. I'll have to check him out.
P.S. Matt, I totally misunderstood what you were saying about Vlautin. Googled him and now I get it.
