Phil O'Keefe Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 So I'm sitting here listening to my wife's new iPod (a Christmas present), and I've got a bunch of stuff loaded into it for her, and on comes "The Look Of Love" by Dusty Springfield... Okay, I admit it - after hearing the Brasil '66 version about 20 times over the past few days (it's been in "heavy daily rotation" since my daughter found their "Look Around" LP at a thrift store and bought it for us - my wife obviously loves that album...) I was eager to load Dusty's version into the iPod off the CD and revisit it... and MAN! While the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 rendition is very good, Dusty owns that song! And it just might possibly be THE sexiest song ever - at least when she sings it. And the sax solo (and the whole arrangement for that matter) is perfect. So, where am I wrong? Got a better suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Donovan Posted December 25, 2005 Members Share Posted December 25, 2005 I still think "Young Lust" by Pink Floyd is the sexiest song in the world. "Ooooooh, I need a dirty woman.Ooooooh, I need a dirty girl." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted December 25, 2005 Author Share Posted December 25, 2005 There is, IMO, a significant difference between sexy and lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Donovan Posted December 25, 2005 Members Share Posted December 25, 2005 I don't like the title "Young Lust." I think the song should have been called "Dirty Woman." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tedster Posted December 25, 2005 Members Share Posted December 25, 2005 I would go with either something by Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66, or "No Ordinary Love" by Sade. I don't know if it was a single...but Diana Krall's version of "Midnight Sun" is groovy as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ani Posted December 25, 2005 Members Share Posted December 25, 2005 One of the most sexy songs I can think of is Beast of Burden by the Stones... The song made me realize that a physically unattractive man can actually be attractive in other ways. The song is sinfully sexy and stimulating at the same time in the way Mick delivers the performance. One the other hand, the most SENSUOUS song that comes to mind is I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Baby by Barry White. I've yet to hear one that tops it. Merry Christmas to those who are actually lurking or hanging out on the forums today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bbach Posted December 25, 2005 Members Share Posted December 25, 2005 Assuming that any song would qualify, with or without vocals, "Sleepwalk" by Johnny and Santo springs to mind immediately and instantly. Grab your favorite girl and have a woderful slow dance to a rendition of "Sleepwalk". That song is on top of my "can never get sick of it" list.

Members Mr. Botch Posted December 25, 2005 Members Share Posted December 25, 2005 "The Look of Love", Brasil 66! Damn Phil, now I'm going to have to dig out the vinyl and play that sucker again! I'm gonna throw out one that will probably get me laughed off the board, but that's OK its Christmas: "Summer (The First Time)", Bobby Goldsboro. The Schmaltz knob was set on 11, but damn...

Gus Lozada Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Originally posted by Lee Flier I dunno, all the sexy guys seem to be married. Actually, Lee, I was thinking of the same thing when read the thread's title ... of course my vote might go for myself ... on a more serious note, Diana Krall's version of "Under My Skin" is perfect for -in Tedster's words- "Kitchen Dancing" with your loved one... or for a very intimate, sexy dance. ... oh my... gotta... reach... phone... ((dialing)) ... "Hun... Merry Xmas... I know what I want as a Xmas gift... could you come to my place?"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if I ever considered it a "sexy" song before now, but it's a killer song; one of my fav's from my younger years. The song definitely has a lot of passion... it's just that I never thought of it as being sexy until you brought it up. Was a hot afternoon the first day of June and the sun was a demon Like old Billy Ray in his red Chevrolet I needed time for some thinkin Those are the words that sold the song to me when I was a kid, probably because I was still too young to really know much about the sexy part when it first came out. I've always been one that likes to escape the crowd and get away to nowhere in particular. When I think about the song as an adult, I can see where you would say that it is a sexy song. No laughter here.... the words below set the tone She was twenty one and I was seventeen I knew nothing about love She knew everything Stay with me until the sun has gone away And I will chase the boy in you away I haven't heard it in years, but I can hear the song in my head as if it were playing now. Great song!!! Great movie as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a better suggestion? I'll ditto that, Phil. There are some other very good vers out there, SM&B66, of course, a new one that's pretty good is Diana Krall's. Of course, I've always been partial to ABC's... oh, wait. Different LoL. LOL. But big props to Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk"... for that all-important, deal-clinching last dance. For fun, I put all of the above 5 tracks in my on-demand playlist... Krall's warming me up... Sergio & the girls up next, the sexiest voice ever, Dusty, after that, then from the other side of the looking glass, ABC, and finally "Sleepwalk"... now all I need is a GF... [update: I'm on Dusty's version, now... as good as the others are... they're nothing -- nothing compared to Dusty's... Holy Hannah! This girl can sing.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Super 8 Posted December 25, 2005 Members Share Posted December 25, 2005 Good call on those low sultry voices of Sade and Dusty.Dusty did some cheezy stuff later on, but "Look of Love" is hawt. Put me down for Astrud Gilberto.She has a drop-dead sexy voice. I love that little accent of hers. And her voice isn't trained, so it drifts a little when she sings. Gives her that 'girl next door' quality. Gotta go for Karen Carpenter too. "Just like me, they long to be, close to you" Karen is sexy, but she breaks my heart when she sings. She's more of a 'sad sexy' Good thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members midinut Posted December 26, 2005 Members Share Posted December 26, 2005 I thought Diana Krall did a damn sexy version herself of "The Look of Love" on her Live in Paris concert. Maybe it's just me. Dusty did kick ass. and Merry Christmas Lee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
