Get on the pole! What songs, regardless of subject matter, make you wanna strip it all off and/or dance all hoochie-like?
What a fine question! My get on the pole song is Glory Box, by Portishead. Granted, an obscure choice. Maybe I'll open an exclusive trip-hop strip club.
"Got To Give It Up" Marvin Gaye
"Caroline" Status Quo (headbanging, more than shaking my hoochie coochie)
"Honky Tonk Women" Rolling Stones (which also has the best ever opening line of any song, ever)
and (clichéd, I know) "Bump & Grind", R Kelly.
pink: blasphemy. that abomination can't touch the original.
However it does 'cause tanning booth suburban idiots to do the whole hand waving Xtina hand waving Laaaaaaaaaady Maaaaahmaalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaidde, thing in a pretty funny way on my TV.
My own humble suggestion is Takin' Retards to the Zoo by the Dead Milkmen.
Oh yes, getoffmylawn! Morphine in general makes me want to slither. (And I was going to call you "getoff" for short, but that seemed a bit on-the-nose for this thread.)
Sex Wino!

I'm studiously ignoring the Sex(y) Wino song lyrics, by the way. In case anyone cares. Which they shouldn't. But I just had much very strong coffee and can't seem to stop typing.
SEX WINO GAVE GWAR BUNGHOLE MAN BABIES AND DOES NOT EVER CALL ON CHRISTMAS, SUCH IS THE INTENSITY OF SEX WINO'S COLLECTIVE POWERBONERS.
wino the idiot prince of derails is at it again, sorry. Perhaps we will retire sex wino for now and creat a new thread in the future to designate where you want SEX WINO to put your retarded babies in.
Divine_Wino, I didn't mean you had to stop! I was just... uh... overly squicked out by the brilliance of your last lyric effort, and decided it was best to stop thinking about it lest my brain retain some of those images forever.
I wrote that before you wrote yours, this is a thread about songs that make you want to put on lucite heels not about the mighty mighty groin blasts of SEX WINO!
I remember at some point reading in a women's magazine that you could tell what kind of guy you were dating by what music he put on to make out to. I don't remember what they claimed the "standard" choice was, but they said that anyone choosing Portishead eschewed cliches, thought for himself, and wasn't afraid to seek out unusual things.
And I just thought, Wait, in what world is Portishead not the standard makeout music?
No, there are certainly other very valid -- and really, better -- choices than Portishead. But choosing Portishead cannot in any way be thought of as "original" or "creative." It'll get the job done, certainly, but it's so the default choice.
It was just one of those moments where I realized how very very WASPish and preppy the writers of women's magazines are.
A year or so I made a mix CD that were songs that made me want to take my clothes off. It starts out pretty silly, but by the end is all grindy and hot. PJ Harvey gives me a wettie.
If anyone wants one, email me and I'll make ya a copy.
I'd say if a lady puts on portishead it's all good, if a dude (straight) puts it on it smacks of -to paraphrase vice- masturbating in the bathtub with an ice cube in the mouth and waxed assholes and scented candles and I bet he throws his legs way up in the air when he's getting head. Just all flowly linen pants and shaved head pony tails and suede vests with no shirt on and fucking yuck.
SEX WINO MAKES THE MARQUIS DE SADE LOOK LIKE A LONG DEAD HALFASS PERVERT! SEX WINO GAVE A BABY TO YOUR SICK MOTHER WHEN ALL SHE WANTED WAS SOME CLUB SODA AND SALTINES...
