Sexy music?

ashinaeThere is something I have noticed time and again. Now, I have no connections with this song to anything else; it is merely another song to me. But, no matter how sexy he might be, or how sexy the music video might be, I absolutely cannot maintain a pr0ny headspace when I hear Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game." I can listen to it if I'm cleaning the room, or driving, or something utterly mundane. If, for whatever reason, I am writing something pr0ny and that song comes on -- either on a huge random playlist or on the radio -- I get a serious fit of the giggles.
Writing collaboratively hasn't been exactly the same sort of experience as writing solo as far as my music goes. I can have anything playing, as the "mood" can shift drastically in a piece you're writing with someone else. There is seldom a set plan for things when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cruisedirector and I write together; things just happen. However, when I was writing on my own, I did have a plan of sorts; the characters had told me in advance what had to happen. So I do sort of have some songs that I used to fall back on a lot to set up a sort of atmosphere. I write to music.
I am going to lay myself open here, and share some songs. I have no idea what any of this says about me. Two of them I am uttelry, terribly embarrassed about, but what's the point in doing such a thing if I can't be seen in a funny light? Heh. All links are through YouSendIt.com (anybody know how long till they expire?)
As I have a few bulletproof kinks, I have two bulletproof pr0n-writing songs:
Massive Attack - Inertia Creeps
Bush - Mouth (The Stingray Mix) -- I almost never like remixes. This one is such an exception. Rrowr.
If the characters are a little bit angsty, this also can work beautifully for me:
Sarah Fimm - Be Like Water -- which is slow, and mellow, and good for yes.
And of course there is:
Melissa Ferrick - Drive -- which is just of the mmm.
Depeche Mode - I Am You -- which also works rather with the angsty
Sting - A Thousand Years -- for the rhythm of the music itself, and of course, The Voice
Oh, the embarrassing. The terribly embarrassing:
Claudia Christian - Taboo -- not. a. word.
Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy -- Due South fen, I have only ever, ever, watched "Victoria's Secret" twice, and that was during its original run! So quite gladly, I have no connections with this song to that. Yay!
And as an added bonus, I know there are some out there who, ahem, could so go for this sort of thing (*grin*) I imagine there is also:
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Depeche Mode - Master and Servant
Kidneythieves - s + m (a love song)
ETA:
Sure, I'm not entirely certain about the validity of the song as "sexy" per se, or really, what kind of scene you'd write set to music quite like this, but goshdarnit, I need to share Depeche Mode's "I Feel You", too.
So, what do I want? Spam me. Spam me mercilessly (ooh baby!) with sexy music. What gets you going when you need to be in an erotic sort of frame of mind for writing? I want to know! Use YouSendIt (please feel free to send the songs directly on to ashinae @ gmail.com as well, heh) and leave the link that the site gives you in a comment here. I am curious, and I want to know.
