Given the average age of folks around here, I'm not really surprised with all the disco, funk, soul, etc[...]

But jesus christ some of these answers make me feel old. I seriously didn't know that CheckeredHat is a wee little baby.

Eerrgghhhh... you got this idea stuck in my brain, and I just read through 7 different "50 Sexiest Songs of All Time". Not so much the Doc part, but what WOULD be considered THE "pants-drop cool" song. My conclusion is there isn't one universal answer; it depends on how it's used. Back in college, I was briefly seeing a guy who did a striptease* to Prince's "Kiss" for me. I can't properly describe the way he did it, but it was both hilarious and sexy. And so was the rest of our evening. :unibrow:


(*I should mention this wasn't out of left field, which would have been awkward and/or creepy. It was part of a joking conversation we had had prior to that evening.)
