[AlChuck]

The unplugged version of "Lick My Love Pump" by Spinal Tap is a must...

(helpful buggers, aren't we?)

[Bass Freak]

depends on the girl in question...


if shes more of a rocker pull out some cool covers of classics...


if shes an emo freak...well, just play some mushy stuff, like dashboard confessionals...or some 80's covers...everyone likes those.

Or how about this?

"SexOMatic Venus Freak"

Superlove is something that they say is very rare
In the dark, In your world it's everywhere
And I feel like an x x rated movie star
It's the way you love me down
It's the way you love me down
Everytime we kiss you bring out the woman in me
Everytime you holler out my name you set me free
I am a sex-o-matic venus freak when I'm with you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to
I am the automatic easy freak all over you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to.

Superlove
Gimme some, some, some.
We are the genius of love
Feel like an x x rated movie star
It's the way you love me down
It's the way you love me down
Everytime we kiss you bring out the woman in me
Everytime you holler out my name you set me free
I am a sex-o-matic venus freak when I'm with you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to
I am the automatic easy freak all over you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to.

When we seek and hide
When my hands are tied
69 positions and
whip cream all over my skin
lick you from bottom to root
love to get down with you
I am a sex-o-matic venus freak when I'm with you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to
I am the automatic easy freak all over you
And I will stop it only when you tell me to.


First date I had with my wife I had this CD spinning when she showed up at the door. We never made it to the "date"! In fact, we didn't stop groping at the front door until the CD was over!

[hoon]

whatever she likes(especially if she likes PUNK =),
classic (even these are mushy) is the best.

such as "Romance"- even it's pretty easy
or Recuerdos De La Alhambra (I like all Tarrega stuffs)


i think typical 'mushy' songs are (often) cooler than anything!

[Gidge]

"Hero" - Enrique
"Wanted Dead or Alive"- Bon Jovi
"Its Your Love"- Tim McGraw
"Honestly"-Stryper
"Lay Your Body Down"-Poison

[Richard Monroe]

God, these guys are useless! Go listen to Heart! Listen to "Crown of Creation" by Jefferson Airplane (old, but beautifully engineered.) Mary Chapin Carpenter, Joni Mitchell "Wild Things Run Fast". Steeleye Span (Medieval/Celtic/Rock fusion). Juliana Hatfield (Alternative). Bonnie Raitt, Madonna, Tracey Chapman, Faith Hill. For really obscure, search ebay for a copy of Saloom, Sinclair, and the Mother Bear. Billie Holiday, Maureen Fleming, Diana Kral.-Richie

[Unsprung]

Whatever ya do, DON'T play any "Aqualung" (Jethro Tull)!

[GhettoWayz]

dude, play her some collective soul.

[mshilarious]

I'd second "Wanted Dead or Alive" and add "Sweet Child O' Mine", which is great because they are essentially the same chords, and also the only two songs by other people that I remember how to play.

The one downside to the Bon Jovi tune is you need a backing singer to scream "Want-ed-ed-ed!!!" after you sing "Wanted" but before you sing "Dead or Alive!" So you'll have to brings some of your buds, or pause awkwardly and wave your pick at your girl until she catches on that she's supposed to be screaming.

Hmmm, that last sentence . . . sounds a little too familiar for comfort . . .

[PFDarkside]

Patience...
Every Rose Has it's Thorn
Under the Bridge
Lifehouse - Hanging by a Moment

[zer0sig]

i would tend to lean toward anything passionate that both she and i like. in my experience, this is extremely effective, though i think the singing is more important than the playing.

[esun127]

I would recommend "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. You get some on the spot.

[bicycleracer]

Hey why all the camaro rock? Find a copy of Depeche Modes "somebody" match up the three or so cords and and pick up the tempo. I think it's G, C, and A.
The lyrics are good and if she knows Depeche mode you'll get points, if not you will certainly look creative. My wife and I grew up on punk and New Wave and she flipped when she heard it. 'course I'm cursed with a Martin Gore voice.

Good luck!

[demensia]

I second every rose has its thorn.
Alice in Chains Unplugged stuff is especially sexy comming from a girl.
Black Crows stuff..
tracy chapman?

You'd need a friend with a stand up bass to help you but, if we are going to go Spinal Tap.... Big Bottoms is sure to win her heart


F.S.

[mshilarious]

Why Bon Jovi over Depeche Mode?

'Cause John Mellencamp didn't sing "Forget about all that macho shit and learn how to play synthesizer."

[Kelly5150]

Any song with Heaven in the title...

Heaven - Warrant
Heaven - Bryan Adams
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton




Knockin on Heavens Door?...

[Bass Freak]

for some reason girls repsond to "good riddence" by greenday..its like a girl rally song....when i pull out my bass they are like "play it play it"...typical girls...


freak

[Speeddemon]

I'll third the "Wanted Dead or Alive" motion and here are some other cool ones:

Mercyful Fate-Melissa (ask her to kick you in the nutsack for the high pitched notes )
Judas Priest-Dreamer Deceiver (very beautiful ballad)
Agent Steel-Still Searchin' (also a beautiful ballad)
Snowy White-Bird of Paradise
Boston-Amanda (replace Amanda with her name, as long as hers is 3 syllables... I mean, if she's called Hildegarten, it won't work. )

and the best:
Quiet Riot-Love's a Bitch

EDIT: if she's a 'rowdy' chick, just make her sing along to AC/DC's "The Jack"

If I understand, your question was rhetorical, no?

I think it's a lot more fun to take something a little outside the norm and add some creativity,makes it special. Doesn't work for everyone. The song I recomended I can barely stand to listen to now, way too synth and immature. I suggested rocking it out and mixing it up.
Main stream works if you are singing to a main stream girl. Not my cup o'tea.
If I had a chance to ride in an honest to goodness way-back machine, I would rather visit 30-40 cool people from the good ol' days than the general masses that listened to....saaaay, top 40. Yicky.
Cheers,
