Top 5 Make Out Songs

Raptor here, crushing the proletariat.

Ok fellas, you’re cruising home from a date with a hottie and you’re fumbling through the old iPod for something to set you up for the final lip lock. So many choices! Some are easy to eliminate right off the bat (“Dead Skin Mask,” by Slayer comes directly to mind (Trust me guys in the off chance that she does get all hot and bothered by that song, be afraid, be very afraid)). Others are sneaky, because they are a bit too overt in their babymaking intent. For example Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” will probably get you a severe laughing at (although Tenacious D’s “Fuck Her Gently” is sooooo purposely humorously overt, that it works like Sex Panther. 60% of the time it works every time.

By now you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Oh wise Raptor, I beseech thee. Bestow upon me your divine wisdom of make outery.” Don’t worry olde English dude. I’m here to help.

5. Your Song- Ewan McGregor

Fact: Women Love Musicals
Fact: Women Love Ewan McGregor
Musicals. McGregor. Battlestar Galactica…or something like that.


4. Such Great Heights- Iron & Wine

Sung so softly and scratchily, Iron & Wine puts himself out there so you don’t have to. Perfect.


3. Satellite- Mika

I’ve discussed this song here. It’ll get you some lip action, if she’s not overwhelmed to tears by the beauty of it.


2. Every Breath You Take- The Police

This one I don’t get, but it works.

It shows most people (women) don’t really know what’s going on in songs.

She’ll hear, “I really care for you, and want to be a part of your life.”

She won’t hear the whole, “I’m a stalker and want to wear your skin as a disguise.”
…Maybe “Dead Skin Mask” is more of a panty dropper than I thought. Probably not.


1.If I Should Die Tonight- Marvin Gaye

I know I said Marvin could be a bit too overt, but damn he’s smooth. Really, Gaye should dominate this list. You could effectively make out to his rendition of the Star-spangled Banner. Now that’s smooth.

So What clinched this song? It uses the whole live for today, because you never know what tomorrow might bring cliche amazingly effectively. That and it's coupled with added subtext that it's especially true for Marvin Gaye because if you can get shot by your father, anything is possible. And Have I mentioned he's smooth.

I’m not gay, but I might be gay for Gaye.
