I've been thinking of the top 20 best scroggin/making out/gettin it on songs that I could think of, and said fuck it...I'll post em. Now all I have to do is take my own advice and burn them all to a CD. Don't think I could fit them all on one CD though, as number 4 is a bit long....
So without further adieu!!!
1.Only When I Lose Myself-Depeche Mode...What makes Depeche Mode a makeout song? Simply put, "Its only when I lose myself in someone else that I find myself." Dunno, but the entire album is gold..Look for Depeche Mode, The Singles 86-98. Every single song on that CD is makeout bliss. From In Your Room to the creepy Little Fifteen,Stripped, A question of Lust & I Feel You.
2.Fascination Street-The Cure...Another one song that is good solo, but the whole damn album is a make out feast. His voice is strangely attractive and mesmerizing, and the mixer beats with guitars can't be beaten.
3.How Soon is Now-The Smiths...I don't care if the guy is gay, but Morrissey's voice can set you in a trance. Add the synthesized background, the more upbeat pace, and the damn length of the song too..its a good 7 minutes to suck face to.
4.Cafe Del Mar volume 1.-Buddha Bar...If you can find it, buy it...but more than likely download it. There is only one song, and its 1 hr long. A mix of house, ambient, cross cultural remixes. The only vocals on it are occasional chants. Remixes of mandolins, Asian flutes, sitars, guitars, synthesizers and trance. Imagine mixing a dance club joining playing throbbing, slow grinding jams in a Cost Plus market.
5.Cream-Prince...Prince, the artist formerly known as, whatever...the boy can put out a sex funk like no other. A lot of funk, a little blues, and some rock beats is like honey in your ears. And since you know what Prince is all about, the lyrics are no surprise..."Cream...get on top..." I don't think he's talking about the dairy product.
6.Oh Sweet Nuthin..The Velvet underground...Smooth and silky. The lyrics mesh so well with a jazzy folkish background that you'll feel like sitting in the backseat of your car again. The song is so damn mellow and flows so good that even when you notice it intensify, you're so into the song that you'll find yourself picking up the pace.
7.Fade Into You-Mazzy Starr...Another classic. Mazzy's voice is almost a whispy sensuous breath in your ear. The acoustic guitar, tambourine and pianos are not dominating, and at times you need to listen intensely for them, but it is a must have.
8.Closer-Nine Inch Nails...Played at every bar, strip club and frat party...but it still is just as effective in the heat of passion. Its simply a cut to the chase song. Not a good tune to start making out with, but once the clothes start flying off, this is the one you want pumping on the stereo.
9.Sing for Absolution-Muse...This guy is so into his woman in this song, that your girl will think the same of you. The singer is going for your gut on this one, and he does get there. He's almost operatic and just about singing a ballad. the groovin drum beats, piano and bass heighten your senses, and the song picks up pace in perfect timing.
10.Amber-311...mix together a little reggae so cal beat with a modern day twist and you got this little love song. 311 isn't known for many slow songs, but this is a damn good one. Look into their remake of the Cure's "Love Song" too.
11.Run-Snow Patrol...A spin off of Coldplay's success, Snow patrol is another Brit band. His voice does well in sounding passionate and wanting. the background bass and drums are almost disturbingly eerie, but push the line well.Pay attention to the lyrics the first time, it'll add to the experience next time. The song is about a love going away and eagerly awaiting its return..."even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear.."
12.Lost-Vast...Vast is a weird eclectic almost cultish band. I highly recommend listening to their stuff. His haunting melodic voice sounds Bono-ish, only better. The band uses a lot of mixing, dubbing, orchestral, operatic chanting and hypno trance beats. The kind of tune you want to just kiss lightly to, caress deeply and stare at with.
13.Karma Police-Radiohead...Yes, the song is a little depressing, but the bass, piano and echoing vocals set a deep and passionate, almost hypnotic setting.
14.Who's gonna ride your wild horses-U2...Bono's voice is breathless, slightly labored, reverbing and piercing. The passion of this song alone will set a mood. Add deep bass and classic U2 guitar riffs. Not that you'll be paying attention to the lyrics, but its a impressive love story. "Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?Who's gonna taste your saltwater kisses? Who's gonna take the place of me?"
15. Doin It-LL.Cool J...Who says east Coast rap can't make it big time into a make out session? LL can bring it, slow enough and damn sexy too. Calling your girl a peach, and having her spread out on the hood of your car. Damn straight.
16.Never Say Never- Romeo Void...Plain and simply stated..I might like you better if we slept together. Screw the makeout session, this is a scroggin song.
17.Sexbomb-Tom Jones...Dude! Its fucking Tom JONES! Enough said! Sets you in that "let's go to Vegas" and have a make out fest. Throw in some big band horns, a kicking bass beat and classic Mr. Jones confidence in the vocals...and damn, she'll be good to go.
18.Faithfully-Journey...the first girl I ever went out with was a Journey FREAK, and proceeded to stomp all over my heart, thus ruining every single Journey song except this one. This song WILL be in my wedding I swear. The ending vocals alone will get the panties wet, the slow start, the rocking finish. This is the epitome of every prom night back in the day.
19.Hey Now, Hey Now-Crowded House...the 80's revival continues the struggle. The lyrics suck, but the tempo, echoing voices and bass beat set the mood.
20.I Just died in your arms tonight- Air Supply-Cheesy..super cheesy! Not even as good as government cheese, but it still gets the job done somehow.
