Billboard has come up with a list of the 50 most popular songs about sex in time for Valentine's Day with each song given points according to its performance on the Billboard hot 100 chart from August 1958 until January this year.
"Physical," released by Newton-John in 1981, topped the list after spending 10 weeks as No. 1 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. And while it certainly speaks to sex with lyrics such as "There's nothin' left to talk about, unless it's horizontally," the song became known as well-known as a track for aerobics classes in line with the singer's exercise-themed video.
Second in the list came Rod Stewart's 1976 song "Tonight's the Night," followed by Boyz II Men's 1994 ballad "I'll Make Love To You."
"Some songs are steamy slow-jams, some are hi-octane arena-rockers, but what they all have in common (and what got them on this list) is that the subject matter of each song is directly related to sex, in some way," Billboard said in a statement.
Other highlights include Rod Stewart, who made the top 10 twice with "Tonight's the Night" and "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," and Marvin Gaye hit No. 5 with the classic "Let's Get It On."
Following is a list of the top 10 of the top 50 sexiest songs:
1. "Physical" - Olivia Newton-John
2. "Tonight's The Night" - Rod Stewart
3. "I'll Make Love To You" - Boyz II Men
4. "Too Close" - Next
5. "Let's Get It On" - Marvin Gaye
6. "Hot Stuff" - Donna Summer
7. "Do That To Me One More Time" - Captain and Tennille
8. "Like A Virgin" - Madonna
9. "Kiss You All Over" - Exile
10. "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" - Rod Stewart

Perhaps this sounds strange, but I really don’t want to hear someone’s body “talk,” if you get my drift.
No joke!
They do not have Mylène Farmer’s “Déshabillez-moi”. Bummer.

How could there be such a list that omits Melissa Etheridge’s “An Unusual Kiss”. Absurdity.

(Had to listen to it nonstop during the run-up to the 1979 Orioles-Pirates World Series. How the Orioles lost from a 3-1 lead in games, with Palmer, Flanagan, and McGregor due to pitch (IIRC), I'll never understand.)
Cheers!
Saw that pic and thought I was on a thread about Congress.
Me either. Barf bag.
Wow, she really didn’t know. I thought she was just acting like she didn’t.
“Fever” By any number of sultry voiced women.
Yeah, it was in a completely different league from the first two I posted. Whitney Houston is one of the greatest of all time, imo.

Actually I thought Madonna’s “Deeper and Deeper” was pretty hot — the first two hundred times I heard it.

Yes, Whitney was great. Shame she had to destroy it all by gettin mixed up up that Bobby Brown.
I know everybody got sick of hearing it, but “I will Always love You” was one of the greatest songs ever.
I’m not a country and western fan, but I always loved Dolly Partin’s ‘I will always love you’. Whitney did it better!
