Music is like distilled emotion. Second only to smell in its power to transport you instantaneously to another place and time without you agreeing to go along.

A little old school, a little new school… *Enjoy the Egyptian Lover clip, it’s chock full of big 80’s hair and jeri curl juice… The cheesy awesomeness of this video is something to behold.
Egyptian Lover – Freak-A-Holic
Nelly – Hot in Herre

I’ve decided to dedicate the next few posts to songs that I enjoy dancing to in the privacy of my own bedroom or closet.
First up, Morphine with Super Sex from the Album “Yes”. This band has such a gritty, sexy sound. Their songs make me feel like I’m drinking in a dirty, dark little bar on a Monday afternoon around noon…
Morphine – Super Sex
Next up, INXS with Devil Inside. This gem from February 1988 features a nice juicy riff that you can get your sexy on to. Enjoy.

Roberta Flack – The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Roberta Flack has such a sultry voice. This song was the number one song the year that I was born… and it still holds up.
(I always think of the movie “Play Misty For Me” when I hear this song.) I have to say that Clint Eastwood was pretty darn sexy in that film.

The Beatles – You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away
Posted by elena under The Beatles, favesLeave a Comment
I love Paul’s sweet “silly love songs” but John’s bittersweet odes to love lost and love gone wrong always get to me. This is one of my favorites.

Holy crap, I have bad taste in music. I owned this 12″ and played it over and over. Of course I was in the throes of puberty and may not have been fully able to comprehend the fact that this was truly a very bad song. Oh who am I kidding? There’s just no excuse for this…
