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

First I’ve heard of Nina....really not my genre.
I’m a Zevon kinda guy.....
Might add that few people know that Partin wrote that song and had a hit with it many years before Whitney discovered it.
Interesting bit o’ trivia, that.
She’s just an excitable girl (they all said.)
‘Nina Couldn’t Be Persuaded’

I give Nina a 5 umlaut rating for most aggressive use of facial muscles.
Not surprisingly, I liked it.

Remember folks, their rubric was "songs about sex", arranged in order of success on the Billboard 100. Has nothing to do with "sexiness", despite the title of the article.
Olivia Newton-John was smoking hot back when she did that song...but no, that was not the sexiest song ever. Not even close.
The song gets weird toward the end when Olivia starts singing "Let's get Animal!" I thought she was talking about the Muppets...
Somehow, I’m not shocked that you’d think of that.
(Now in addition to Mondegreens, I've got dueling earworms. Thanks a LOT!)
(Now I'll have to go play the All Your Base Are Belong To Us to clear them out...)
Cheers!
You have to borrow a shotgun?
As in #52, barf bag. That is an awful song.
I live in Japan. They have gun control here.
Funny, I have a Browning Golden Clays made there.
Do thet have clay ranges in Japan.
