Top 5 Songs… about sex
By Samuel Ward
Air – Sexy boy
Not knowing French, this indeed is a very sexy song – after all, the only lyrics in English are “ooo sexy boy”. Translated, the lyrics actually point to a desire for a more glamorous lifestyle. Either way, the smooth, obviously-french edge is enough to get anyone aroused.
Jamiroquai – Feels just like it should
Probably the dirtiest song ever written. Probably. The throbbing bass, shrieking guitar and lip-licking lyrics are all too much to handle, especially when whispered from the heartthrob that is Jay Kay. Only the space cowboy himself can be this sexy.
The Vaccines – Post break up sex
Don’t act like you haven’t done it or wanted to do it. Either way, it’s a sensitive subject and the Vaccines exploit it perfectly by hammering at their guitars the same way they hammered their ex’s DVD collection after they found out.
Oasis- Fucking in the bushes
Whether it’s because you’re a die-hard Oasis fan or couldn’t wait 10minutes with your night’s pull for the next magic bus through Fallowfield, you’re going to know about it. If not, you’d be glad to know Liam doesn’t say a word in this one – lovely.
The Starland Vocal Band – Afternoon Delight
How this became a number one in 1976 I’ll never know. Not because of the birds tweeting on the record or god-awful flanging guitar but because of those overly-magical lyrics. It’s safe to say people were either completely deaf or too busy enjoying some afternoon delight of their own.
