I was referred to as a less manboy-ish Rob from High Fidelity earlier in this thread, and it’s almost worrisome to me the accuracy of that comparison. Almost.
I make playlists for everything. I make Top Five lists for everything (ironically, High Fidelity appears neither in my list of Top Five Books or Movies but is included in my list of Top Five Books Turned Into Movies). Seriously though, you could give me an aspect, any aspect, of everyday life and the probability is very high that I have a contextually relevant Top Five list for it already made or compiled in my head. I’m going to share some of these with you, and if any of you are curious about my Top Five anything I’d be glad to take requests on which lists I cover here. I’m going to start with a fun one.
Top Five Make Out Songs
5. Violent Femmes - Gimme the Car
How can I explain the deep down driving?
This song brings me back to my teenage years, in the best way. Back to times of experimentation and pure, hot, adolescent lust. Stumbling and fumbling, learning and enjoying. When I listen to this song I still smile, every time, and I will forever remember it as the soundtrack to my first make out session. Now, in my early twenties, I still put on this song when the, uh, time is right, and I'm able to relive all my teenage fantasies in a very... ahem... adult fashion. Yeah I'm blushing right now, shut up.
4. T. Rex - The Slider
God that guitar is just so sexy, listen to that, it's simply pulsating. Unf. I think I'm still worked up from writing about the last track. Jesus balls. The rhythm of this song is perfect for making out, the percussion is easy enough to uh, move along to, and the vocals are oozing with whispered euphemisms. Is it hot in in here? Windows need cracking.
3. The Jesus and Mary Chain – Sugar Ray
Did you feel my lips
Did they slide and slip
Did you feel my head
Shaking through your wrist?
What better song to make out to than one in which “all I want is you” is repeated? And the title of the track is such a great name for a cock, in my opinion. If I had a cock I would certainly name mine Sugar Ray. I need to stop oh my god I’m sorry everyone.
2. In Shades – Tom Waits
It is not uncommon for me to include Tom Waits in my Top Five lists, least of all any lists to do with anything even remotely sexual. This song is sexy as f
uck, and there are no distracting words, and in fact what makes it super-hot is the little Tom Waits growl rasp about halfway through. If I was the type to dance I would dance to this song, and if I were the type to want to marry I would want to marry Tom Waits. Hit it and never quit it. Fo’ life.
1. Queens of the Stone Age – Skin On Skin
Why haven’t you kissed me yet?
Aaaaand, that’s it, ladies and gentlemen. My very favorite make out song. QOTSA are great and everything they do they do well, and that includes songs about fu
cking. It’s too easy to sample sex sounds in the background, it’s the subtleties in this song that do it for me. The sound of a zipper followed by tasteful heavy breathing and then the sound of a cigarette being lit at the end – it’s just wonderful. They do raunchy in the classiest fashion.
Get it on, friends. Enjoy yourselves:
