Everything you need is here, here and here.
The Johan Pa Snippen recordings I've listened to so far (Sigge Furst and the Adventures) are great.
Ann-Kristin "Grynet" Molvig's takes the cake. It's filled with that trademark Ann-Kristin "Grynet" Molvig brio and joie de vivre.
are there any words 'coffee days' in the songs?
Thurl Ravenscroft isn't too shabby either!
Oh, wait, it was actually Molvig's I listened to. With the little scream partway in.
I just put on the Dies Irae, to cut to the chase with the whole sex-and-death thing. Anyone who's creeped out by that should have thought twice before bedding down with me in the first place.
Reading the linked thread, it's surprising to see so many once-regulars that have now moved on.
1 -- the only song that might not be good for lovemaking is "Santa's Too Fat for the Hula Hoop".
You all familiar with Grace Slick's Across the Board? I'd imagine a copy can be found.
You can't cock yourself, woman . . .
so many once-regulars that have now moved on
I didn't look at the whole thread, but almost all those people still comment.
Since the advice is for Bostoniangirl, I will recommend Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence.
Reading the linked thread, it's surprising to see so many once-regulars that have now moved on.
That was my reaction, too. Where have you gone, NCProsecutor? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. DaveL, dagger aleph, Standpipe Bridgeplate....the Golden Age of unfogged is truly past.
DaveL is here under a different name. Hot Prince Namlet, I think.
I didn't look at the whole thread, but almost all those people still comment.
Yes but several, like Standpipe, are essentially commenters emeritus

Is a tenured commenter someone who can't be banned even if Ogged says he's banned?
I'm guessing that The Best of Bread would not be considered a correct answer.
18 to 16. I don't know what 17 is referencing; maybe 18 works there too.
17 was probably to the original post.
This would be a better choice than The Best of Bread, yes.
17 was probably to the original post.
I know that. I don't know The Best of Bread.
1: I really like a lot of that stuff on the first Ubuweb link. And the Thurl Ravenscroft too, of course.
I've gotten very lazy and have started downloading monthly "indie mixtape" torrents from the popular Scandinavian site. Dumping 200 or so new tracks into my iTunes every few weeks is good enough for me, now that I'm 30 and can't be bothered to try to keep up with what's cool these days.
Is a tenured commenter someone who can't be banned even if Ogged says he's banned?
Not only sexist, but vastly out of touch with reality (i.e., the commenters Ogged would ban if he could).
21: I don't know The Best of Bread.
But I'm sure you do and just don't know it. Here let me sing it for ya:
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know.
and
It don't matter to me ...
Not only sexist, but vastly out of touch with reality
OK, how about "Is a tenured or fixed-term contract commenter ..."
Listening to samples, I kind of recognize Bread.
Ultimately, we can never rise above the rank of visiting commenter.
25: Not any more, now that I have those pictures, he can't.
Reading that linked thread, I'd forgotten how many concerts I used to go to. I'm now jealous of my 21-year-old self.
I suppose the internet canonical and tired answer to this thread's question is "Yakety Sax" on repeat. Some commenter's suggestion of Les Georges Leningrad is just crazy enough to work.
30: You mean the pictures you were supposed to use in order to choose your life partner, Cinderella style?
I've never really been interested in music in bed.
I do remember, though, that as an adolescent, I worried that if I listened to music while masturbating, I'd forever associate that song with wacking off. I don't think I was worried about spontaneous musically-cued erections or the synesthetic smell of Lubriderm. Probably just feelings of shame.
26: So, just to be clear: Bread's classic soft rock hit "If" has absolutely nothing to do with the poem by Rudyard Kipling?
Does "If" really say, essentially, "if a man could be in two places at the same time I'd spend two times in the same place"?
35: Well, they have the same title, d'oh!
And Wikpedia is telling me that Telly Savalas's version of If went number one in England (and Europe) in 1975. Judge for yourself. Romance!
Telly Savalas's "If" cannot be as romantic as Anthony Hopkins' #75 hit, "Distant Star".
Romance!
Who loves ya, baby? I always thought it was Telly Savales who did that memorable spoken word recording of the circa 1692 1962 classic Desiderata, but no, apparently it was Les Crane.
or the synesthetic smell of Lubriderm
new rollover text.
I was looking for actual mixes. It's an unreasonable request, I know.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's first, self-titled album. Intense stuff.
And maybe some Tortoise, but that's just me.
36: yes, which is just a roundabout way of saying that David Gates would fuck his clone.
Where have you gone, NCProsecutor?
Became a father about three weeks ago. He's probably a little preoccupied. And exhausted.
As for teh sexy music, you can't beat this. You'll never see pants hit the floor any faster.
If it's going to be Ween, it better be this.
45: Which should come first, Unfogged or his flesh and blood? To me the answer is clear, but NCP seems to have made the wrong choice.
I'm guessing that The Best of Bread would not be considered a correct answer.
No, that's for the pathetic post-breakup "take me back" mix.
I was looking for actual mixes. It's an unreasonable request, I know.
I gotta give BG credit: she really plans ahead for these things.
I'm OK with music during sex as long as the song isn't about sex. It's like listening to 'Born to be Wild' while riding a motorcycle.
Will no one rise to BG's challenge?
I can't believe nobody's linked this yet.
54: I do believe that's the first time I've seen a stick-figure depiction of cunnilingus.
For the classical music demographic, Ravel's Boléro is the canonical choice.
Thisseems suited to my experiences, historically speaking...
i hope, BG, you'll enjoy this
my sweet and tender beast
it's a waltz from an old movie
May I drop in to recommend Rush's Farewell To Kings?
I suppose the internet canonical and tired answer to this thread's question is "Yakety Sax" on repeat.
Take my advice, put on the soundtrack to Vertov's Enthusiasm: Symphony of the Donbass and the panties will just start dropping off.
Boris Kovac's Serbian tango music. Also exceptionally good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCXyGHQ0lHg
Mr. Ruprecht, linking to both of those comments at the same time was a bit much.
BG this could potentially be among the perils of talking about your sex life on the internet. Besides, that's how Knecht's mind works: if, at some point, you choose to hire his consulting firm for a high-dollar evaluation of your sex life, he wants to have the relevant facts for a back-of-the-envelope calculation ready at hand.
56:I was thinking of the Xenakis Bohor, but probably not since it may not be Xenakis or titled Bohor. What a drag it is growing old.
new wet kojak has been known to work well, fwiw.
If we're not doing a mix, I'd personally recommend almost anything by Gerry Mulligan, specially "Song for Strayhorn". But I accept that I'm weird.
I'm totally doing a mix. It'll be all the raunchiest songs I have, just to move things along.
63: I apologize, BG. I didn't intend any harm.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's first, self-titled album. Intense stuff.
SCOFF
69 (hah): Make sure you use the live Pigface version of "Suck", with Ogre 'singing', not any of the bloodless Trent Reznor vocal versions.
Schubert's trio op 100 is nice. Melancholy in spots, so depends on your tolerance. Also Chopin's nocturnes.
Or dub; Lee Perry or Lynton Kwesi Johnson or Sly + Robbie.
If you want intense stuff, you want Tony Conrad & Faust's Outside the Dream Syndicate Alive, or maybe Car Bomb's Centralia.
I was just thinking the other day as I was enjoying the Mustard Truck funky mix from apo that I wanted to return the favour with some mix and now I have a darn good excuse! Don't have access to my song library here at work unfortunately but will come up with something later.
I sent a couple of friends who were going to try and have a baby their own gender-delineated baby makin' mixes: the male version was more like, "Yeah! you can do it!" and the female version was more like "Just shut up and listen to the groove and HIT THAT SPOT AGAIN!" The mingling of genetic matter did happen, though I don't know if it was in response to the magical mixes.
76: Uh... I'm all for a good getting-it-on mix. But if your mix wields that sort of fertility-inducing power, you may want to consider appropriate cautionary labeling.
76: start that sexist stereotyping at the *moment of conception*, baby!
So, turning the question around, what music do you really, really, really not want to hear when boot-knocking time comes around.
And no Scandinavian scream-singers, people. I'm thinking "Happy Birthday" or "Our God is an Awesome God." "Hava Nagila?"
79, meet 54.
I'm thinking Billie Jean would be a little disconcerting. Or Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
79: Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
On the other hand, it occurs to me that Springsteen's "Going Down" would have some merit.
79: I'm a little distressed now, actually, at my initial reaction that "Awesome God" might have some decent potential.
85: I would totally have suggested her but it seemed implicitly contravened by the terms of 79.
The ballad Pretty Polly or Nirvana's Polly.
Everyone Has AIDS from Team America.
Most show tunes. I'm thinking "Do-Re-Mi" or "525600 Minutes" or "If I Was a Rich Man".
Oklahoma would kind of rule to sing along with during sex.
Lucky for you, Tweety, my turntable isn't working, because I do have that record, you know.
93. Be sure to wear matching cowboy hats. In case your partner doesn't have hats, be sure to bring a few. It's only polite.
Nice, Tweety. Now I've got the Surrey With the Fringe on Top scene from Harry Met Sally stuck in my head...
"Poor Jud is Dead" would be perhaps an even worse sex music choice from that musical.
95 -- Didn't we resolve in a previous thread that it is the host's responsibility to supply the hats?
"Mother" by Danzig would be deeply confusing, and probably bad in most circumstances.
98. The host should have hats (cawoboy, jimmy, etc.), but just in case*mdash;be prepared. And now, how about some Tom Lehrer?
And now, how about some Tom Lehrer?
According to the liner notes, Lehrer's The Old Dope Peddler was originally written as The Abortionist, but this was considered too outré for the era(!).
Most show tunes.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Which reminds me, has any hip-hop artist sampled any Mary Poppins tunes? 'Cuz if not, they really should.
If I was a Rich Man would be pretty wooly.
Oklahoma would kind of rule to sing along with during sex.
With all due apologies for tooting my own horn, I recommend this version.
I think "Oh, Yeah" by Yello, would be the worst for me.
108: some kind of painful formative experience at Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
My first post-high-school girlfriend insisted on going down on me for the first time while we were watching Pulp Fiction at my house. As I saw Bruce Willis's screen-filling grizzled mug explain why, precisely, that watch was so important, I finally viscerally understood the meaning of "cognitive dissonance".
109: I associate it more with Secret of My Success actually.
insisted on going down on me for the first time
You make it sound as though you put up resistance.
I need some examples of these sex hats. Is this a german thing, Di?
You make it sound as though you put up resistance.
I wanted her to wait until the Walken monologue.
110: Never look a gift horse...uh...in the mouth.
Is this a german thing, Di?
That reminds me: Do you know what comes between fear and sex?
Fünf.
I find that joke works a lot better out loud than on paper.
117: I was going to go with "the judgment of dissolution," but fuenf is a good answer, too.
what music do you really, really, really not want to hear when boot-knocking time comes around?
Anything by Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Anything by Alvin and the Chipmunks.
My daughters *love* to dance around to a Chipmunks cover of "Funkytown". This is tantamount to a scientific experiment to measure how much distilled awfulness I can process and still find endearing because it involves my own flesh and blood.
I'm thinking that anything off of the Langly Schools Music Project would be startling.
A variety of political songs could be offputting e.g.
"Ain't no new thing" by Gil Scott Heron
or
"Strange Fruit"
As I saw Bruce Willis's screen-filling grizzled mug explain why, precisely, that watch was so important, I finally viscerally understood the meaning of "cognitive dissonance".
You were resisting your own secret fantasy of being sodomized with a wristwatch.
That reminds me: Do you know what comes between fear and sex?
The proper setup is "According to Freud, what comes between fear and sex?", and yes, it works much better aloud.
I like the Imperial march from Star Wars during sex.
Any Einstürzende Neubauten piece with a jackhammer.
"Jesus Built My Hotrod", by Ministry. It's because Jesus really did build my hotrod.
Jesus didn't create your penis. In fact, even God didn't. He merely created the environment in which it would eventually occur.
Mr. T ate my balls. On a hot dog.
God didn't literally create Chartres or the Sistine Chapel, either, but it's traditional to give Him some of the credit.
