Kiss and Tell ~ Bryan Ferry

I'd forgotten all about this song till My Dear Friend Nikki reminded me of it. Ferry's got one o' them voices that damn near puts me into a swoon, as does the very typical sound of the bass in his songs. I don't know what that effect is (or even if there is one), but it hits me in all the right places. (And in all the wrong ones, too.) A song about the betrayal of a former lover, it sets a dark (if suavely sexy) tone for today's A to Z Challenge letter.

Kinda I Want To ~ Nine Inch Nails (NIN)

Oh, Trent, boy do I EVER know your pain, man! I'm sure we've all been there (or close enough). That person that's captured your fancy is so enticing, so alluring, but also so pernicious to your well-being that every instinct screams against engaging in any type of relationship whatsoever. You know it's bad, bad, bad for you, you know it, YOU KNOW IT! But then you go ahead and engage anyway. Gah!

Killer Wolf ~ Danzig

As I've mentioned before (and you may have noticed), I dig wolfie themes. Too, I enjoy the Little Red Riding Hood story and this song riffs on the idea of wolf as seducer. A predatory seducer, yes. No less arousing for all its menace, but still vewy, vewy scawy! AooROOO!

Call Me ~ Blondie

This is possibly the sexiest, most unabashed, insistent imperative ever delivered by a woman in rock 'n' roll history. She ain't sayin', "Oh, you know, you might gimme a ring, when you get a sec," she's sayin', "Your ass better frigging call me!" And what straight male (or gay female) in his/her right mind would disobey? Pas moi! (You know, if my gate swung that way. Or if hers did...actually, I dunno; does it?)

 

Can't Get You Out of My Head ~ Kylie Minogue

Ah, the obsessive-compulsive side of love. That overwhelming rush of chemical-cocktail in your system that keeps you from focusing on anything but your love object. Yeah, that's messy. But it's real. Just remember - it'll pass...all too soon. (Not that I'm bitter, or anything. Heavens, no!)
 

Closer* ~ Nine Inch Nails

*(Explicit Lyrics & Video - Extremely Unsafe for Work - and a little bit gross, just sayin')

If Debbie Harry laid it out with foxy ferocity, Trent Reznor did it with his dangerously insistent croon of just how he wanted to...well, you know. (Or you will know, once you've watched the video. Be sure your children/boss/co-workers aren't around when you do.) (I'm totally not kidding.)
