Follow us

"Afternoon Delight," by Starland Vocal band is a harmonic '70s pop classic that takes a more melodic route in getting across its underlying message. In reality, the song is a lunch break teaser disguised as a chart topping pop song. Famously covered in Will Ferrell's 2004 "Anchorman," you could say "Afternoon Delight," is an ode to those who like it with the lights on.

8. "I Touch Myself," by Divinyls

Musically, the early '90s was a time of good R&B, loud grunge-rock and pop tunes about doing the deed. "I Touch Myself," by Divinyls, is a clear example of the third one on that list. From the songwriter who wrote, "Like a Virgin," came the unapologetic tune that when released in the United States, caused much controversy. With lyrics like, "When I think about you, I touch myself," we consider this one to be pretty much self-explanatory.

7. "Feel Like Making Love," by Roberta Flack

Roberta flack sealed her place in baby makin' music history with her 1974 hit, "Feel like Making Love." Earning three Grammy nominations, the song is considered by many to have set the scene for the R&B takeover that took place a decade later. The tune is simple, to the point and a perfect pre-game for any Valentine's Day celebration.

6. "Sexy Can I?" by Ray-J

Trying to get things going at a faster pace? "Sexy Can I?" by Ray-J, is a bedroom tune that was made to do all the talking for you. And with his past sex tape history with Kim Kardashian, Ray-J can be considered a professional at things like this. The 2008 song freaks and flirts with lyrics like, "It's a Kodak moment, let me go and get my camera." 

5. "Bump N' Grind," by R. Kelly"

"Bump N' Grind," by R. Kelly is a testimonial to sexy dancing that will most likely lead to some serious bedroom antics. The R&B bad boy puts his desires out there for all to see as he sings to his women, letting them know that he can do a better job than their current man.
