Salt N Pepa – Push It
There were a fair few artists for whom one slot in the list was clearly not enough for you. "How could you put Salt N Pepa's Let's Talk About Sex in the list," asked Bomiller, "yet leave out their much more overtly sexual Push It? As if that wasn't evidence enough, he or she adds: "Which is coincidentally also the better of the two songs in terms of pure musicality." So that told us.
Spinal Tap – Big Bottom
"You can't not include Spinal Tap's Big Bottom," commanded Kalyr, which met with much agreement from the rest of you. Perhaps it was the subtlety of lyrics such as, "My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo, I like to sink her with my pink torpedo", which went right over our heads.
George Formby – When I'm Cleaning Windows
Window cleaning and ukeles, two hugely underrated tools of seduction as far as we're concerned. This was nominated by ieclark.
Lou Reed – Walk On the Wild Side
A dollop of double bass, a soulful groove and a few well-timed "doo-da-doos" help Reed make prostitution and drug use sound like a pleasant stroll on a summer afternoon. Thanks to Mssauerkraut for highlighting this omission.
Tenacious D – Fuck Her Gently
Sex and comedy are frequent bedfellows in this particular category, and whobetter than satirical rockers Tenacious D to lead us through a song that promotes the benefits of compromise when it comes to successful love-making. As nominated by TVShow.
Dusty Springfield - Breakfast In Bed
Yet another highly rated nomination from Davidabsolom, this time in the shape of Springfield's cover of the Muscle Shoals hit in which the she coaxes her lover not to "eat and run".
Leonard Cohen – I'm Your Man
If there was ever a voice made for this category it is Cohen's. As a lyricist he brings a sense of almost biblical importance to sexual desire. Sarte pointed out this absence by simply quoting the lines: "The moon's too bright, the chain's too tight, the beast won't go to sleep."
Flight of the Conchords – Business Time
It's Wednesday night. Conditions are perfect. Nothing on TV. It's business time! Thanks to LIZZIEB for this one, a baggy team-building T-shirt is on its way in the post.
Prince – Get Off
CabaretFliedermau said we could "keep all the other Prince songs" and just stick with this one. We'd opt for just adding this without losing the rest of the Purple One's sexually charged back catalogue.
James – Laid
CabaretFliedermau popped up again to point out this omission, though we're not sure this is about sex so much as not being able to get someone out of your head. Oh well, all together now: "Oh, you think you're so prett-eeeeeeee."
