A Musical Vibe

In response to my previous playlist post, Delia mentioned that she is spending time listening to Evanescence's Bring Me to Life, which is a great song! I managed to shock Mich by having Usher and Rihanna on my playlist since according to her, a few years ago I would have "booted others out of the car for playing that," but my Eminem revelation was something she hadn't known.

My fascination with Eminem was prompted by Chris O, who is also responsible for introducing me to what one friend called, "the greatest invention ever," the dueling piano bar. In 2000, Chris got us a front row table at Pat O'Briens which is an awesome venue and I have been hooked ever since and have managed to drag a few friends into the mayhem. So it is fitting that my next playlist is the dueling piano bar request list.

Songs that are my regular requests when at a dueling piano bar:
- Violent Femmes Blister in the Sun
- Green Day Longview
- Dexy's Midnight Runners Come on Eileen
- Def Leppard Pour Some Sugar on Me
- Gloria Gaynor I Will Survive
- Kid Rock All Summer Long 

I have been informed that the top four on my list are very sexual in nature and the first two focus on masturbation. So it's not surprising that I have been known to also sing along with such similar songs as:

Crystal, Mich, & I singing Sweet Caroline

- AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long
- Divinyls I Touch Myself
- Jimmy Buffett Why Don't We Get Drunk

 
Now this is not to say these are the songs that put me in the mood because I do have a sexual playlist which prominently features one band, Dave Matthews Band. There is something about the soulful rhythm of the music, the pulsing beat, and the raw emotion as Dave Matthews espouses erotic lyrics that made this young woman's heart race and still does.

Songs by Dave Matthews Band that still get to me are:

- Crush
"Lovely lady, let me drink you please. I won't spill a drop I promise you. Lying under this spell you cast on me. Each moment, the more I love you."

- Say Goodbye
"And in your eyes I see what's on my mind. You've got me wild turned around inside and then desire, see, is creeping up heavy inside here."

- Crash Into Me
"And I come into you. Hike up your skirt a little more and show the world to me...I watch you there through the window and I stare at you. You wear nothing but you wear it so well, tied up and twisted the way I'd like to be."

- Two Step (the entire song is worth a listen)
"Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions. You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking. Love, you drive me to distraction ... Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth, grown tired of water all the time. You quench my heart and you quench my mind."

Do you have any special requests at bars or any songs that bring on a sexual feeling?
