sputnik Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 That's one of the main reasons to own fine audio equiment anyway, right? I have been cruelly reminded, in other threads, that Leonard Cohen music is definately a no-go (yeah, like I don't know that now). But then, Barry White always seems to get high marks, while I think that he would come across like a serial rapist to most women. So what music do you use when it comes time to set the mood for seduction? Keep it clean or at least between the lines and don't even try to suggest 'Bolero' - it's such a lame move, I don't think that any woman would actually fall for it. One of the best compilations of seductive music I've ever come across is 'Sakura - Japanese Melodies for Flute and Harp' by Jean-Pierre Rampal and Lily Laskine. It's a collection of very simple and elegant renditions of traditional Japanese music and it's the perfect musical accompaniment for anything from a foot massage to fouth level tantric carnality. Or, on a more basic level, you could just use Mike Damone's Five Point Plan for scoring from 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' as demonstrated on a life size cut out of Deborah Harry: 'First of all Rat, you never let on how much you like a girl. "Oh, Debbie. Hi." Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it." Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?" Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice." And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.'

theryugobuddy Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 That character has such a great sleaze factor for the movie--gives me the creeps just seeing his pic-- I like Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" -- its old, its soulful, great beat throughout, and -- she probably won't be able to tell that he's actually singing "you really love to ball"on one song-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_L Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 This is a question comes up frequently [] in newsgroups and forums. Of course, jazz is always a very romantic music and can be used as such a wonderful mood setting background music. Put this on, turn the lights down low and bring your lady a sparkling glass of champagne or sparkling wine. The number one all time favorite and most successful "music for lovers" jazz album is Gerry Mulligan's Night Lights. This music is guaranteed to put your lovely lady in a very, shall we say "receptive" mood. Maybe you two even did a little dancing and are both enjoying one of those special evenings that you will forever look back on from your golden years and remember with fondness. Take your time though! Nothing so important as love and romance should be rushed. So after this, you want to make sure Coltrane's 13 minute version of "My Favortie things" is in the changer. By now, you might be listening to the music from "another room", or not.. whatever the case may be, but to continue the evening's mood please let me suggest Mccoy Tyner's fabulous jewel "Passion Dance" on his The Real Mccoy. By now, you are probably doing a very special "Passion Dance" of your own, so we won't fault you if you need more time and music to keep thay very special mood going all night long. Need a cigarette yet? What better way to enjoy the all time number one favorite jazz album of all time. Turn your lady into a jazz lover and show her your sophisticated side with this final beautiful mood setter. That you can now buy in a fabulous multi-channel SACD edition if you care to, although any version will do. Follow my advice guys, I have just given you the female equivalent of those little blue pills you need a perscription for. But this works even better and requires no doctor's perscription. You'll even get to educate your lovely lady on this beautiful music we call jazz, and for that she will love you all the more. Since most CD changes have a 5 CD platter, I'll throw in a final suggestion that works interchangably with many of the above and no true jazz lovers collection would be without. Dave Brubeck's fantastic Calcutta Blues on Dave's famous Jazz Impressions of Eurasia. Okay guys and gals there you have the magic formula, please feel free to send me your thank-you notes the very next day. (only half kidding!!) PS No need to name the little ones after me.

PrestonTom Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 This really is an important question, seriously. I have many fond memories, where the action started with either Al Green or Marvin Gaye playing in the background. Ahh, to be young again...... -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 For the more sophistocated companions, I like Billie Holiday's "Lady In Satin" record. For more of my tattooed/pierced/rocker types, I use Mogwai's "Rock Action" album. Both work like fire on a candle. Melts them right down.

colterphoto1 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Let's Get it on by MG always seemed so direct. Kind of like Jimmy Buffet's 'Honey, let's get drunk and screw'. If memory serves, Yes Tales from Topographic oceans was always a favorite- gotta love 4 songs where each takes up a side of an LP. Ditto the Miles Kind of Blue. Haven't heard the Eurasia piece, but fond of Brubeck's Jazz Impressions of New York. Anything by Brian Eno, something about those droning tones just took time away..... I hate that I'm thinking about this in the past tense. ARRRGGHHHH[8o|] Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grog Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 All I know is Barry White is a good choice. Jazz is also good. But sometimes it really has to do with what you may have been playing when some other moment occured. Brick House, YMCA and watching SuperFly have become seductive in our home for reasons that only make sense to us. Here are two songs that you should not play! Frank Zappa - Freak Out! - The Mothers of Invention Wowie Zowie - Frank Zappa Wowie zowie Your loves a treat Wowie zowie You cant be beat Wowie zowie, baby Youre so neat I dont even care If you shave your legs Wowie zowie, baby Youre so fine Wowie zowie, baby Please be mine Wowie zowie Up and down my spine I dont even care If you brush your teeth I dream of you each mornin I dream of you each night Just the other day I got so shook up I dreamed of you in the afternoon Baum didi, baum didi, baum didi, Baum didi, baum didi, baum didi I dream of you each mornin I dream of you each night Just the other day I got so shook up I had a flash in the afternoon Wowie zowie, baby Love me do Wowie zowie And Ill love you too Wowie zowie, baby Ill be true I dont even care If your dads the heat Wowie zowie Wowie Wowie zowie Wowie Wowie zowie Wowie Wowie zowie Go Cry On Somebody Else's Shoulder - Frank Zappa A year ago today Was when you went away But now you come back knockin on my door And you say youre back to stay, But I say... Go cry On somebody elses shoulder Im somewhat wiser now And one whole year older I sure dont need you now And I dont love you Anymore You cheated me baby, And told some dirty lies about me Fooled around with all those other guys Thats why I had to set you free I sure dont need you now And I dont love you Anymore A year ago today You went away And now you come back crying Crying, crying: please, let me in But I dont need you No I dont love you anymore So go lean on...go cry on Somebody elses door Go cry On somebody elses shoulder Im somewhat wiser now And one whole year older I sure dont need you now And I dont love you Anymore (oh, my darling!) (spoken:) Go ahead and cry Go ahead and let the tears fall outa your eye Let em fall on your dress Who cares if it makes a mess? I gave you my high school ring At the root beer stand We had a teen-age love baby I thought it was sharp It was really so grand...but You cheated me baby And told some dirty lies about me Fooled around with all those other guys Thats why I had to get my khakis pressed I sure dont need you now And I dont love you Anymore (spoken:) Baby, I love you so much, darling Why dont you dig me? I dig you But you dont dig me I dont understand what it is I had my car re-upholstered I got my hair processed I got a nice pompadour job on it I bought a new pair of shoes I got some new khakis and I met you And we went out to get a coca-cola...

colterphoto1 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Grog you forgot Jewish Princess, also by Zappa. Lyrics unprintable in any fashion. Suffice it talks about squeaky noises during intimate moments, and certain damp spots on the body. Also equally offensive is Catholic Girls...Dinah Moe Humm, we could construct an entire Zappa songlist guaranteed to NOT get you any ladies! HA.

st. patrick Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Darn Steve L, how do i play all that music during my 30 seconds of passion? . . . . . . . . . oh, it's supposed to take longer ?????????????????? now they tell me, i thought it was a race . . . . .. just kidding guys, c'mon lighten up!!!

grog Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Funny thing is the way the song is done makes a big difference. Zappa was crude to the point we knew it. But I think Roxy Music would be great for those times where you wanted to set the lights down low. But please don't turn on closed caption for this video DVD. It may spoil the moment. Take for example the wonderful song "In every dream home a heartache". The sound is perfect for the seductive moment but the words "normal for Brian Ferry" never match the mood of the song. In every dream home a heartache And every step I take Takes me further from heaven Is there a heaven? I`d like to think so Standards of living They´re rising daily But home oh sweet home It´s only a saying From bell push to faucet In smart town apartment The cottage is pretty The main house a palace Penthouse perfection But what goes on What to do there Better pray there Open plan living Bungalow ranch style All of its comforts Seem so essential I bought you mail order My plain wrapper baby Your skin is like vinyl The perfect companion You float my new pool De luxe and delightful Inflatable doll My role is to serve you Disposable darling Can´t throw you away now Immortal and life size My breath is inside you I´ll dress you up daily And keep you till death sighs Inflatable doll Lover ungrateful I blew up your body But you blew my mind Oh those heartaches Dream home heartaches I would still recommend Roxy Music but as I said... keep the closed captions off.

itsawomanthing Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 ok - from a woman's perogative.....Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Jazz -- really great picks guys - these work for me!! Bolero - a real No-No since that is so obvious what you are trying to do and you are correct sir, no decent woman would fall for that crap! Since lyrics can sometimes muck up a good song how about something instrumental .... that way you don't have to worry that the lady might actually pick up on some hidden meaning! I appologize AGAIN Sput for insulting you and Leonard Cohen...but good Lord man, the moment has passed once she starts crying!! Next we need to work on Grog.....YMCA, Brickhouse & Superfly!!! If I wasn't laughing so hard I might cry! Please don't use holiday music to set the mood -- when you aren't together anymore the holidays will be grim reminder of you!! New Age you might want to try: Eternity: A Romantic Collection Quiet Days - Various Artists Tranquility - (Reflections of Love is beautiful) Also, don't forget to set the mood....romance isn't just music!!! A nice dinner, candles, something to sip on.......ahhhh wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
