A sexy song does not really have to be about sex. Just talking about having sex or wanting to have sex or describing sexual situations isn't sexy. It's sex. Sexy songs are a visceral blend of tone and melody, of harmony and beat, of lyric and music, of intent and sound. Sexy is a mixture of romance and desire, an interplay of emotion and longing, passion and sensation. Sexy is about feeling. Sex can be sexy, but without all the psychological, emotional, and physical stimuli, it is just sex. These are my Top 20 Sexy Songs.

Top 20 Songs About Sailing
Have you ever wished you could just hop on a boat, disappear sailing into the sunset and get away from it all? Sailing is unfettered joy, and spending time out on the water is beautiful and relaxing… There's nothing like cracking on under a lowering sky...treading that fine line between audaciousness and foolhardiness, or so I’m told… These are my Top 20 Songs about Sailing…
1. Crosby, Stills & Nash – The Southern Cross
Got out of town on a boat / Goin' to Southern islands / Sailing a reach before a followin' sea / She was makin' for the trades on the outside / And the downhill run to Papeete / Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas / We got eighty feet of the waterline / Nicely making way…
2. Little River Band – Cool Change
Well I was born in the sign of water / and it's there that I feel my best / The albatross and the whales / they are my brothers / It's kind of a special feeling / When you're out on the sea alone / Starin' at the full moon like a lover
3. Christopher Cross – Sailing
It's not far back to sanity / At least it's not for me / and when the wind is right you can sail away / and find serenity / the canvas can do miracles / just you wait and see / believe me
4. Mark Knoppfler and James Taylor– Sailing to Philadelphia
Now hold your head up, Mason / see America lies there / The morning tide has raised the capes of Delaware / Come up and feel the sun / A new morning has begun / Another day will make it clear / Why your stars should guide us here..
.
5. Styx – Boat on a River
Time stands still as I gaze in her waters / she eases me down, touching me gently / with the waters that flow past my boat on the river / So I don’t cry out anymore
6. Kansas – The Point of No Return
They say the sea turns so dark / that you know it’s time you see the sign / they say the point demons guard is an ocean grave for all the brave / Was it you that said, "How long, how long / How long to the point of know return?"
7. Spilt Enz – Six Months in a Leaky Boat
When I was a young boy / I wanted to sail 'round the world / That’s the life for me / Living on the sea / Spirit of a sailor / Circumnavigates the globe / The lust of a pioneer will acknowledge no frontier
8. Billy Joel – The Downeaster “Alexa”
Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa" / and I'm cruising through Block Island Sound / I have charted a course to the Vineyard / but tonight I am Nantucket bound / We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday / And left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay / Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home / Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone
9. Chris Thompson – Thunder Child
There were ships of shapes and sizes / Scattered out along the bay / and I thought I heard her calling as the steamer pulled away / The Invaders must have seen them / as across the coast they filed / Standing firm between them / There lay Thunder Child / Moving swiftly through the waters / Cannons blazing as she came / Brought a mighty metal War-Lord / Crashing down in sheets of flame / Sensing victory was nearing / Thinking fortune must have smiled / People started cheering / 'Come on Thunder Child'
10. Iron Maiden – The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Day after day, day after day / we stuck nor breath nor motion / as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean / Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink / Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.
11. Bertie Higgins – Key Largo
We had it all / Just like Bogie and Bacall / Starring in our old late, late show / Sailing away to Key Largo / Here's looking at you kid / Missing all the things we did / We can find it once again, I know / Just like they did in Key Largo
12. The Commodores – Sail On
Sail on down the line / about a half a mile or so / And a don't really wanna know / where you're going / Maybe once or twice you see / Time after time I tried to hold on to what we got / But a now you're going / And I don't mind about the things you're gonna say / Lord
13. Enya – Sail Away
From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon / from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony / from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon / from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea / Sail away, sail away, sail away…
14. Styx – Come Sail Away
I’m sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea / I’ve got to be free, free to face the life that’s ahead of me / On board, I’m the captain, so climb aboard / We’ll search for tomorrow on every shore / And I’ll try, oh Lord, I’ll try to carry on
15. Jimmy Buffet – Son of a Son of a Sailor
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind / that our forefathers harnessed before us / Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings / It’s a son of a gun of a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor...
16. Beach Boys – Sloop John B
So hoist up the John B’s sail / See how the mainsail sets / Call for the captain ashore / Let me go home, let me go home / I wanna go home, yeah yeah / Well I feel so broke up / I wanna go home
17. Beach Boys – Full Sail
Full sail, full sail / Steady as you go / The wind will blow / Set sail at Frisco Bay / In a fog cold and gray / Clear sailing, day after day / Full sail full sail / Now the air is still / We lay adrift / Come upon a sea of trouble / Till the winds of change shift / My course is set / There's no turning back / But there's no goin' anywhere yet
18. Rod Stewart – Sailing
I am sailing / I am sailing / home again 'cross the sea / I am sailing / stormy waters / to be near you / to be free.
19. David Gray – Sail Away
Sail away with me honey / I put my heart in your hands / Sail away with me honey now, now, now Sail away with me / What will be will be / I wanna hold you now
20. Gordon Lightfoot – The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound / and a wave broke over the railing / and ev'ry man knew, as the captain did too / 'twas the witch of November come stealin' / The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait / when the Gales of November came slashin' / When afternoon came it was freezin' rain / in the face of a hurricane west wind.

Top 20 South African Songs
So, the World Cup 2010 is coming to an end with the Finals being played in a couple of days. For about a month, the entire world has turned its attention to South Africa and, in the process, we have learned more about this country's rich culture and convulsive history - from Apartheid to Stephen Biko to Nelson Mandela to the World Cup, South Africa has inspired several musicians, not only local but also from around the world, to tell its story. Today, as the World Cup draws to an end, I salute the heritage of this beautiful country. These are my top 20 songs from and about South Africa.
1. Solomon Linda & The Evening Birds - Mbube > The Weavers - Wimoweh > The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight
"Mbube" (Zulu for "lion") was first recorded by its writer, South African musician Solomon Linda, and his group, the Evening Birds, in 1939. The song became so popular that Mbube lent its name to a style of African a cappella music, though the style has since been mostly replaced by Isicathamiya (a softer version). In November 1951, the American group The Weavers recorded their version entitled "Wimoweh", a mishearing of the original song's chorus of 'uyimbube' (meaning "you're a lion"). 10 years later, the Tokens, an American doo-wop vocal group from Brooklyn, New York, rewrote “Wimoweh” as "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", which rose all the way to #1 all over the world. Several artists have covered this version, including Robert John, Tight Fit, and R.E.M., and it was used in the both the film and stage versions of Disney's The Lion King.
2. Peter Gabriel - Biko
"Biko" is about Stephen Biko, a noted black South African anti-apartheid activist. Biko had been arrested by the South African police in late August 1977. After being held in custody for several days, he was interrogated at Walmer Street prison in Port Elizabeth. Following the interrogation, during which he sustained serious head injuries, Biko was transferred to a prison in Pretoria, where he died shortly afterwards, on September 12, 1977. Peter Gabriel often plays the song at the end of concerts, encouraging the audience to join in the singing, and eventually leaving only the drummer on stage. The album version of the song is bookended by a recording of the South African song “Senzeni Na?” as sung at Biko’s funeral.
3. Miriam Makeba - Pata Pata
Recorded in 1967, “Pata Pata” peaked at #12 in the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been covered by many artists. Originally written and sung in the Xlosa language by Makeba, the song's title means "touch touch" in English.
4. Shakira & Freshlyground- Waka Waka (Time for Africa)
“Waka Waka”, which samples the chorus of the 1986 Cameroonian hit song "Zangaléwa", by Cameroonian band Golden Sounds, features Afro-Colombian instrumentation, Soca beat and South African guitars as well as one of the most acclaimed South African bands, Freshlyground.
5. Toto - Africa
“Africa” was co-written by David Paich and Jeff Poccaro. On writing the song, David Paich says the following: "At the beginning of the '80s I watched a late night documentary on TV about all the terrible suffering of the people in South Africa. It both moved and appalled me and the pictures just wouldn't leave my head. I tried to imagine how I'd feel about if I was there and what I'd do."
6. Artists United Against Apartheid - Sun City
"Sun City" is a 1985 protest song written by “Little” Steven Van Zandt and recorded by Artists United Against Apartheid to convey opposition to the South African policy of Apartheid. A wide array of artists, including Little Steven, Bruce Springsteen, Ruben Blades, Bob Dylan, Bono, Peter Gabriel, Pat Benatar, Joey Ramone, Hall & Oates, Lou Reed, Run DMC and The Rolling Stones, participated in both the video and the recording of the song.
7. K'Naan & David Bisbal – Wavin’ Flag (The Celebration Mix)
Somali-Canadian artist K'naan specially recorded a version of this song for the FIFA World Cup, hosted by South Africa. The remix of "Wavin' Flag" is part of Coca-Cola's global integrated marketing campaign "inspired by the joyous dance celebrations familiar to Africa." 20 different versions of "Wavin' Flag (The Celebration Mix)" have been made, some bilingual as in English/Spanish, or English/Arabic or English/Portuguese and many times with amended English language lyrics and often with different musical arrangements.
8. Dave Matthews Band - Cry Freedom
"Cry Freedom" is a song about finding equality among everyone - despite the "gold that divide us" and "the fear that divide us". Dave Matthews was born in South Africa and spent some of his childhood there as well. During Apartheid in South Africa, all people were legally classified into one of four racial groups: white, black, colored, and Indian. The racial categories into which people were placed determined whether they could vote or own land; the jobs they could hold; the schools they could attend; where they could live, eat or play; and the people they could marry. Written in part for the murdered anti-Apartheid movement leader, Stephen Biko, "Cry Freedom" exemplifies the inspiration that swelled in Dave Matthews' soul.
9. Seether & Amy Lee - Broken
Seether is a rock band from Pretoria, South Africa, formed in 1999. Originally named Saron Gas, they changed their name in 2002, in honor of Veruca Salt's song "Seether". This version of “Broken” features Amy Lee of Evanescence who would later start dating Seether’s vocalist, Shaun Morgan.
10. Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded by the Light.
In 1961, strongly opposed to the Apartheid system in his native South Africa, Johannesburg keyboard virtuoso Manfred Mann re-located to the United Kingdom to form his Manfred Mann and his Manfred Mann's Earth Band bands. Although spanning a lengthy career with several well known songs, including “Do Wah Diddy” and “The Mighty Queen”, his greatest success to date is this 1971 Bruce Springsteen cover.
11. Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Asimbonanga
Savuka was a band formed in 1986 by English-born South African musician Johnny Clegg, known as the White Zulu, after the disbanding of his first band, Juluka. Both of his bands were inter-racial in the racially segregated Apartheid South Africa. “Asimbonanga” ("We Have Not Seen Him") is a musical tribute to former South African president Nelson Mandela.
12. Ladysmith Black Mambazo & Paul Simon - Diamonds in the Sole of Her Feet
Paul Simon's “Graceland” album features an eclectic mixture of musical styles including pop, a cappella, isicathamiya, rock, and mbaqanga. Much of the album was recorded in South Africa, and it features many South African musicians and groups. The worldwide success of the album introduced some of the musicians, especially the vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo, to global audiences of their own.
13. Youssou N'Dour - New Africa
Youssou N'Dour is one of the most celebrated African musicians in history. A renowned singer, songwriter, and composer, Youssou's mix of traditional Senegalese mbalax with eclectic influences ranging from Cuban samba to hip hop, jazz, and soul has won him an international fan base of millions. N'Dour has associated himself with several social and political issues. In 1985, he organized a concert for the release of Nelson Mandela in South Africa, and this song was written for such occasion.
14. Tracy Chapman - Freedom Now
In 1988, the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert at London's Wembley Stadium was a focal point of the anti-Apartheid movement, with many musicians voicing their support for Mandela. At that concert, Tracy Chapman performed "Freedom Now", a song dedicated to Mandela which was later released on her album Crossroads.
15. Freshlyground - Doo Be Doo
Freshlyground is a South African Afro-fusion band that was formed in Cape Town in 2002. The band members are from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
16. Via Afrika - Hey Boy
Via Afrika erupted on to the South African music scene in the early 1980’s. Singer Rene Veldsman says "We were banned on radio – something to do with the lyrics of “Hey Boy”. They, the broadcasting authorities, didn't understand! The music was happening and it was changing. It's so funny to think back that the people in power really thought they had it welded."
17. Zola - Ghetto Scandalous
Kwaito is a South African urban genre of music. It emerged post-Apartheid and amidst the numerous political and social changes that were occurring, including but not limited to the release of Nelson Mandela from prison, and South Africa's first democratic election in 1994.[1] Through his lyricism, it is evident that Zola is proud of many of his country's unique languages, but especially Afrikaans.
18. Rabbitt - Locomotive Breath
Rabbitt were a South African rock band formed in 1972, evolving from a band called The Conglomeration, consisting of members (Trevor Rabin, Duncan Faure, Ronnie Robot, and Neil Cloud). Their successes included making it to the top of the South African charts with the hit "Locomotive Breath", a Jethro Tull cover. Rabbitt broke up in 1978. Rabin would later become a member of Yes, and Faure went on to join the Bay City Rollers.
19. Gepy & Gepy - African Love Song
The artist behind Gepy & Gepy is Giampiero Scalamogna, an italian producer who had a significant success in the 70's thanks to works for famous italian pop artists like Patty Pravo and Ornella Vanoni. In 1979 he decided to try an experiment brushing up his rhythm & blues roots when he performed as vocalist and musician in UK clubs, so came out this song which was his greatest success.
20. The Specials AKA - Free Nelson Mandela
This song contributed to making Mandela a cause célèbre in the United Kingdom in the early 80’s, and became popular with anti-Apartheid activists in South Africa.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind / Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time / Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial / For what it's worth it was worth all the while / It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right / I hope you had the time of your life.

I'll never try to hold you back / I wouldn't try controlling you / If it's what you want / It's what I want / I want what's best for you / And if there's something else that you're looking for / I'll be the first to help you

Top 20 Songs about Kisses
Love without kiss is like pizza without cheese. A kiss is just a kiss. Or is it? A kiss can say hello, goodbye, give comfort and it is the best way to say thanks and the best reward. Actually, a kiss is the very autograph of love. That is, if you want to know if someone really loves you, it's in the kiss... because when you kiss someone, you taste his or her soul... you turn a frog into a prince... you break the spell... and a kiss is a terrible thing to waste and a more terrible thing to miss... and these are my Top 20 songs about Kisses!
1. Meat Loaf - A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste
So many things in your life that your bound to regret / Why didn't I do that? Why didn't I do this? / So many chances you lost that'll you'll never forget / Why didn't I make it? Why didn't I take it right there? / The loneliest words you'll ever know. / "If only, if only it was so" / The emptiest words that they'll ever be / "It could have been me. It could have been me" / You'll have to pay for it later / If you don't get it when its going for free / Believe me! Believe me! / A kiss is a terrible thing to waste.
2. Prince - Kiss
U don't have 2 be rich 2 be my girl / U don't have 2 be cool 2 rule my world / Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with / I just want UR extra time and UR kiss
3. The Little Mermaid - Kiss the Girl
Now's your moment / Floating in a blue lagoon / Boy, you better do it soon / No time will be better / She don't say a word / And she won't say a word / Until you kiss the girl
4. Seal - Kiss From a Rose
You remain, my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby / To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.. yeah / Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby? / But did you know, that when it snows / my eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen / Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
5. Bryan Hylland - Sealed with a Kiss

16. Manhattans - Kiss and Say Goodbye
I had to meet you here today / There's just so many things to say / Please don't stop me 'til I'm through

Please darlin', don't you cry / Let's just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)
