Valentine’s Day is in a couple of days folks, and make no bones about it – people will be getting it on. The traditional tunes of the horizontal mambo are timeless: “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye, “Cant’s Get Enough of Your Love Babe” by Barry White or even “Songbird” by Kenny G. Those are all well and good, but I am sure you’d prefer to not be doing the dirty to the same song you were conceived to. For those of you looking to add a different, perhaps freakier, spice to your Valentine’s Day loving, it’s Josh’s Top 5 “Atypical Getting it on Songs.”

5. “Take a Bow” by Muse – Some may be cocking their eyebrows about now, but this song that many consider a mere song about the evils of abused political power contains one of the coolest continuous buildups in modern music. From beginning to end it’s nothing but a build of sound to one climactic moment… wait a minute. That sounds awfully familiar, doesn’t it? Give it a whirl and you may just be motivated to stick it to the man – and possibly your significant other.

4. “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails – Listening to this while having sex may make you feel like you’re supposed to be the creeper guy on an episode of “Criminal Minds.” But the raw sexual nature of the lyrics may provide the perfect fuel for some nasty leather clad fantasy fulfillment. With some dirty sounding bass, self deprecating lyrics and references to feeling people from the inside, it may be time to whip out your cuffs and safe words.

3. “Fever Dream” by Tyler Bates – Hornets, prepare for glory! This song from the “300” soundtrack can provide the necessary fuel for any man to feel like a Greek god with his lady friend. You may not be piling up the bodies of slain Persians, but you’ll insure that any female passerby knows that there by manly law you lie. Just make sure your performance doesn’t make her want to fantasize about Gerard Butler in a leather speedo.

2. “Le Disko” by Shiny Toy Guns – You ladies didn’t think I was going to forget your song did you? Turn this synth-pop tune on when you’re boy thinks he’s got it all figured out and then turn the tables on him as the song exclaims “little boys, little toys.” Give him the night he’ll never forget and leave some scratches up and down his back like the lyrics say, ‘cause every girl deserves her turn on top.

1. “The Bad Touch” by Bloodhound Gang – This song lays it all out on the table (pun intended). The song’s chorus states it best when it says, “You and me baby ain’t nothing but mammals, so let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel.” Nothing says freaky romance like a night of animalistic copulation. Lastly, with a beat that’s too legit to quit and enough innuendo to make even Prince cringe, you’ll be knocking boots for hours.
