top 10 sexy songs

So we are on a countdown now for Valentines Day and I would like to share some of my favorite picks for sexy songs.  These are not to be confused with romantic songs, and usually my criteria consists of mid to slow tempo with moody chord changes and possibly steamy lyrics.  Enjoy.

1.  So my first pick is of Polish pianist Leszek Mozdzer covering Nirvana's TEEN SPIRIT.   I love performing this version at some of our events, discretely slipping it in when I think no one is listening.  But it always garners attention and gets a thumbs up. 

2.  The next song I think is so classically sexy is Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire". Tori Amos does a version that makes me melt.

3.   Melissa Etheridge's "I'm the only one" is super swampy.

4.  The Adagio from the Rodrigo Guitar Concerto. I heard this for the first time when I was in Madrid accompanying Kent Jordan (CBS artist)  in the Reina Sophia competition. I was mesmerized.

5.   For those who want a taste of "Madmen" sexy vibe

Julie London singing "Wives & Lovers"

6.  Such a simple arrangement, but super sexy.  Babyface "When Can I See You Again"

7.  Classic & always sensual  The Bee Gee's "How deep is your love" from Saturday Night Fever.  Definately one of the sexiest moments in film watching John Travolta take that midnight subway ride with this song underscoring.  Lord, he was awesome.

8.  Arthur Rubinstein playing Granados - Goyescas No. 4  La Maja y el ruisenor.  I was also exposed to Granados during my visit to Madrid and feel in love with this peice.  I have performed this as well as other pieces from this suite inspired by the paintings of Goya. 

9.  My friend Jonathan Spottiswoode and his Enemies featuring Tony Lauria on accordion- In the Pouring Rain - Very sweet sexy

10. "Leave your hat on"  Joe Cocker.  How could we not include this?
