fifty shades of grey albumYou know what author E.L. James had to say about her Fifty Shades of Grey album? Yeah she said it's all "music to f**k to", and she doesn't mean "folk." There are decidedly few banjos on the mix. The Fifty Shades album is available for pre-order on iTunes right now, and let me save you the hassle of previewing the songs -- they're all classical. There's even Pachebel's Canon in D major, which thrusts me back to graduation ceremonies -- experiences that were more tedious than they were titillating. So classical tunes may be all well and good for a few of you out there who like to get down to the musical equivalent of moth balls, but for those of you who like a little more pep in your step during the sexy time, here's a list of 10 songs to get you in a slinky mood.

  1. Chris Isaak -- "Wicked Game." If the song doesn't do it for you, the video might. 
  2. Marvin Gaye -- "Sexual Healing." Baby, I'm hot like an oven and I need some lovin'. 'Nuf said.
  3. R.E.M. -- "Nightswimming." It deserves a quiet night. And a naked one. 
  4. Usher -- "Love in this Club." As if this wasn't going to make the list. 
  5. Toni Braxton -- "You're Makin' Me High." It's too bad Toni's career didn't last longer. What a talent. 
  6. Drake and Rihanna -- "Take Care." With over 39 million views on YouTube, this song and video evidently get a lot of people going. 
  7. Rod Stewart -- "Tonight's the Night." Mmmhmm, yeah it is.
  8. Robin Thicke -- "Lost Without You." Mmmhmm, yeah you are.
  9. Sade -- "By Your Side." Nothing ever wrong with a little Sade.
  10. Lenny Kravitz -- "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over." Preach, Lenny.

Nothing like some subjective taste in bonin' music to really get a conversation flowing. So!

What would be on your sexy time playlist?
