Thundersquee’s Infinite Playlist
The bowmchickabowmbowm edition
Have you ever read Nick Hornby’s awesome opus, High Fidelity? Fact is, I’m the protagonist…minus a few massive character flaws that leave me unable to commit to a relationship/not act like a tremendous douche.
But I have always, always been an audiophile. Major life events are often filed away and categorized in my head by an accompanying playlist. For example, when my late dad died, I listened to a lot of Johnny Cash (which the two of us used to listen to together as we prepared holiday feasts). When I think about planning weddings, I think of Regina Spektor and Leigh Nash.
As a newlywed, the honeymoon period is still treacly and nauseating. Let’s talk nookie songs.
Sure, you may like your Ginuwine or your Poison - or even your Celine Dion (no worries, we won’t judge…much) - but most of us have songs we attach to the concept of sex.
Let’s get it on. (It gets raunchy after the break, so don’t click on the jump if you’re squeamish about Teh Sex or are a chirrint.)

NFL Guy says:Good times.

baby fish mouth says:I am so impressed with this list! Reference materials - hooray. I can’t wait to google/youtube these and listen to them.
I used to have a good little playlist but somehow I’ve mentally blocked almost all the songs on it. I’ve got a couple standbys… Touch by Jonny Lang is the first one that comes to mind. But something tells me it’s not even going to stand up to half of these.
ps it feels really weird telling people that.

kblr says:I would swap “6 Underground” for “Roll On”. It’s way dirtier.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:54 AM
Cait says:Perhaps we should add it to the obvious but effective subheader? ;)
October 1st, 2009 at 11:15 AM
Jujubees says:That’s crazy. I have 95% of these on my itunes. I think I need to update my playlist. I would like to ad some Kate Bush to this musical orgy.
Kate Bush Running Up That Hill
Maxwell’s version of, This Woman’s Work
James Morrison The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore
Jeff Buckley Mojo Pin
Nina Simone That’s All I Ask
The Doors Love Her Madly

Mae says:Running up that hill is SUCH a good song!
October 1st, 2009 at 11:22 AM
payter says:I always liked (don’t judge me) TLC’s Red Light Special for those sexxy times during my Quick and Easy years.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Monster Taxi says:Thanks for including us on your Infinite Play List.

Jujubees says:We all have shameful songs from our quick and easy days.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:40 AM
Mae says:Phil Collins “Easy Lover”
Judge! Judge all ye want! It’s a great song!
October 1st, 2009 at 11:44 AM
SeaKat says:Clapton - Layla
I know there are more - just can’t think right now. Like Payter, I don’t think I’ve listened to anything NOT aimed at the 5-and-under set for QUITE some time! :)
October 1st, 2009 at 12:42 PM
oilybohunk7 says:I have two that bring back some memories for me, they weren’t intentional they just happened, Delicious by Semisonic and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me.
Since every list I ever make will have some Muse on it I also suggets Undisclosed Desires off of The Resistance. It makes me want to make babies.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:52 PM
Dr. Gunslider says:being the “backdoor man” doesn’t leave a lot of time for romance, but when it does get romatical I like to put on music en espanol, Alejandro Sanz, Charlie Zaa, Marc Anthony’s older stuff was good and Shakira(who’s hotness melts my brain until I sound like a toddler).
about that prince song…*shakes head in shame*(sigh)I can’t believe she told, What a friend huh?
October 1st, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Mae says:would you expect anything less from me? :P you’re lucky i didn’t properly record you two singing. That would have definitely been posted.
For those who don’t know our very own Squeer, Dr. Gunslider, did an awesome rendition of “Pussy Control” with my friend Britnie at karaoke the other day. buttcone!
October 1st, 2009 at 1:05 PM
payter says:Since my mommy brain doesn’t register adult music currently, I had to go to iTunes - obh that Semisonic Delicious song was ringing some bells. Turns out it was a sexxy times song a guy I dated introduced me to during my Lonely and Desperate years (which followed the Quick and Easy).
What would SeaKat and I do without all of you and your musical knowledge/memories? Probably drop our kids off on the side of a busy highway.
October 1st, 2009 at 1:24 PM
Dr. Gunslider says:I forgot to put down Placebo’s “protege Moi” because sex does sound good in french. In that case add Placebo’s entire “sleeping with ghosts” album. As far as the main event, VAST comes to mind, especially that song “pretty when you cry”.
October 1st, 2009 at 1:43 PM
KeeblerKahn says:Good choice SeaKat. The real version of Layla, not the unplugged version.
I said what what…

Cristal Methodd says:Portishead is good sexy time music! It’s also on my list of 5 albums I listen to over and over! Wait, am I implying something? Eh? Eh? :wink wink:
I’d have to go home to see what’s on my playlist, but I know that “6 Underground” definitely is. And hey, it’s sampled from a James Bond song. Nothing’s sexier than that! I want it shaken, not stirred!
October 1st, 2009 at 2:19 PM
Jujubees says:Come on, Payter. Don’t deny the allure of the of The Barney Song. Total panty dropper.
October 1st, 2009 at 2:26 PM
SeaKat says:payter- you said it. I see these lists and feel HOPELESSLY out of date.
Confession time: I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a Muse song.
I know. I know. I’m sorry.
Between this and my admitted lack of attraction to Bale, I’m a little worried I’m going to find myself blocked from the site someday!!
Juju: HA! That and the “Elmo’s World” theme song. Damn, that gets me hot everytime. (Not really)
October 1st, 2009 at 3:00 PM
baby fish mouth says:it’s ok seakat. i have heard lots of them and i don’t like them. at least you have an excuse.
October 1st, 2009 at 3:10 PM
Jujubees says:Don’t feel bad. I feel that way when talking book talk. I hated Atlas Shrugged and Love In The Time Of Cholera. I did however completely heart Valley Of The Dolls.
October 1st, 2009 at 3:20 PM
SeaKat says:Juju - yeah!! Hey, read “Outlander” - it’s a time travelling romance novel. But seriously? REALLY good. I think Rev. Random and I are going to have a virtual book club and that’s our first book!! Mucho sexy but also very well researched details about life before electricity and indoor plumbing! :)
October 1st, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Cait says:Outlander has some epic (HAWT) nookie.
Rrow.
October 1st, 2009 at 3:24 PM
SeaKat says:You know it’s good writing when you find yourself getting all flushed at the thought of making it with a dude who is both unacquainted with flouride toothpaste AND possibly flea-infested.
October 1st, 2009 at 3:26 PM
Cait says:Just remembering that scene is giving me the vapors while simultaneously making me giggle over possible claymore double entendres.
October 1st, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Dr. Gunslider says:I hated Love in the time of cholera too, but for Odin’s sake Juju Atlas Shrugged! It’s the closest thing I have to a bible. Before Rev Random officially puts me on the hellbound list, I’d like to say that I’m a big fan of Jesus as someone to emulate being the wise and compassionate iconoclast he is, I’m just not convinced in the whole supernatural stuff.

chelsea says:2009
October 1st, 2009 at 4:24 PM
Cristal Methodd says:Ok, actual list…
Radiohead - High and Dry
Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground (I told you it was on there)
Arcade Fire - My Body is a Cage
Beatles - Something
Damien Rice - The Blower’s Daughter
Dierks Bentley - Come a Little Closer (I’m a little bit country, I’m a little bit rock and roll)
Foo Fighters - Walking After You
Garbage - Push It (maybe in the ‘obvious’ category?)
John Mayer - Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
Anything by Portishead.
Anything by Norah Jones.
None of these songs have been played in awhile. Darn being single!
October 1st, 2009 at 4:48 PM
chelsea says:Meredith Brooks–BITCH(Theme song)
October 1st, 2009 at 4:55 PM
baby fish mouth says:CM, to recap, that’s dry, blower, come, push, slow, and head. Yep. Sounds right.
October 1st, 2009 at 5:06 PM
oilybohunk7 says:Cait so many of the songs on your list I forgot completely about. I feel like I’m back in high school.
Oh Pillowpants.
October 1st, 2009 at 5:33 PM
Jujubees says:In the current financial situation I thing Atlas Shrugged doesn’t seem like it may be all that fictional. If people start asking who John Galt is I think I’ll move to the mountains. And sex with toothless dirty men sounds right up my alley.
Ohhhh, Push It by Salt And Peppa. Ahhhh shhhh push it.
October 1st, 2009 at 6:00 PM
Cait says:Speaking of high school…I totally left Morphine’s “The Night” off the list by accident. ;)
October 1st, 2009 at 6:31 PM
stopthemadness says:i would just like to say i appreciate the fact that no one said “sexual healing.” because i love me some marvin and some gaye, but come on dude. we get it. we all know what happens when you get that feelin’. to mr. gaye’s credit, however, the song itself is brilliant. it’s just played the fuck out.
also, massive attack- angel (on mezzanine) is an aural panty remover.
October 1st, 2009 at 6:33 PM
stopthemadness says:oh oh. oh crap, i had one and then i forgot what it was.
the beginning drum bit of Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs rapes my ears with pleasure.
most excellent list.
oh, disintegration is good for emo sex. seriously.
October 1st, 2009 at 6:34 PM
stopthemadness says:juje- “right up your alley”?
HEY-OOOO!!!!
October 1st, 2009 at 6:39 PM
Jujubees says:That what he said. Ziiiiiiing!
