[ 14 Valentines - Day 5: Sexuality ]
I will be answering each and every comment you lovely, smart people have been leaving me, but bear with me because it might take a little while!
For today's theme, I was considering a whole post about why "asexual" is a valid choice and how choosing to wait to have sex is often just as fraught a subject for women as choosing to have plenty of sex, but to be honest I am tired and pretty much just said everything I wanted to, so instead,
Please right-click-download and enjoy!
avenue d - do i look like a slut?: trashy, insane electroclash with a healthy dose of humour.
be good tanyas - the lakes of pontchartrain: I included songs like this that originally were written for a male singer; the job they do with this Louisiana ballad is lovely.
bessie smith - empty bed blues: long before Madonna and whoever else started singing about sex, the ladies of blues were rolling out laid-back, funny, and hot songs like this.
betty hutton - hit the road to dreamland: she woos him, she cajoles him ... then she boots him out in the morning.
blondie - call me: any time, any place, any where, any way!
britney spears - do somethin': there was, like, this twenty-minute window where Britney decided she was a grown-up woman and owned her grown-up sexuality, dropping the coy babygirl act. This song was at the height of it. Naturally, the album (and her new adult image) tanked.
buffy - under your spell: Tara's song to Willow, of course.
cansei de ser sexy - music is my hot hot sex: yes, that song from the Mac ads! But it's awesome.
christina aguilera - dirrty: God, do you remember how much everybody slagged on Christina when she made this song & video? And how they'd bleep ridiculous things like "makes my cherry pop" in Candyman? Man, people suck. And Christina's wonderful.
cyndi lauper - i drove all night: this is how far Cyndi will go for a booty call.
dolly parton - harper valley pta: it's getting so a woman can't even wear a short skirt in peace anymore!
dusty springfield - son of a preacher man: wouldn't we all like to deflower delicious preacher's sons?
edith piaf - mon légionnaire: if you don't speak French, read the English translation and it'll explain why this song's in this list.
emmylou harris - magdalene laundries: this is a Joni Mitchell song, but Emmylou's version is brilliant at being full of rage underneath that haunting voice.
frankee - fuck you right back: if you've heard the Eamonn song "Fuck You", well -- this one's better.
imani coppola - legend of a cowgirl: I love this song so much. It's sassy, it's fun, it's fast.
lucille bogan - shave 'em dry: I put this one up all the time. Vintage raunch for the win!
missy elliot - work it: and Lucille's present-day successor!
norah jones - turn me on: imperious, languid commands to turn her on. Sweet.
peaches - two guys: and speaking of imperious commands, Peaches wants two guys to get it on for her delectation. I'm sure many of us can relate.
queen latifah - big, blonde and beautiful: from Hairspray, and every bit awesome.
regina spektor - chelsea hotel: a very excellent rendition of the Leonard Cohen song.
sarah vaughn - whatever lola wants: ... and you know what Lola wants, right?
scandal - the warrior: love is a battlefield! Or something to that effect.
sinéad o'connor - daddy i'm fine: I love the rocking, bold way she owns her sexuality in this.
skunk anansie - secretly: the tangled, racing lust of an ill-advised affair.
the bangles - in your room: breaking and entering is okay if it's to get jiggy!
the pointer sisters - fire: it's a little bit yes-means-no, but sexuality comes in many mutually-consensual flavours, oui?
the rocky horror picture show - toucha toucha toucha touch me: if you haven't heard this song or seen this movie, your teenage years were sadly bereft.
the runaways - cherry bomb: wild girls! teenage rebellion! yah-hoo!
the simpsons - we put the spring: I figured a song about a bordello belonged on this list.
t.v. carpio - i wanna hold your hand: from Across the Universe; I love this version, all dreamy and yearning.
ute lemper - die ballade von der sexuallen horigkeit: okay, I confess -- I only stuck this in here because it has "sexuallen" in the title. hee!
