This sexy number (complete with xylophone and lovers’ giggles) is a great mood-setter for those slow, lingering kisses that get the action started. David Gedge’s sultry falsetto will ensure that your date’s thoughts will quickly turn indecent.

Generally speaking, any Arab Strap song has the power to make two people consummate a relationship, even if it’s only after your first meeting. “Come Round And Love Me” is a prime example of the Scottish outfit’s penchant for dropping raunchy spoken lyrics over smooth strings and percussion.

Even though most of us don’t get turned on by the thought of Robert Smith in The Cure music videos, circa 1985, his panting vocal delivery and playful handclaps on this song are instant charmers.

As clichéd as it may seem, this song proves that subtlety is often overrated. Gaye’s in-your-face desire is palpable and sometimes this song is the perfect way to get the message across in a very, very, sexy way.

A French version of the band’s original “In Particular”, this song has it all: a buoyant (but restrained) rhythm, murmuring keyboards and plentiful handclaps placed low in the mix.   You may have no idea what chanteuse and guitarist Kazu Makino is singing about, but her sugary vocals make it sound positively otherworldly.

At first hearing, you may mistake this for a total “chick song”. But a more careful listener will wise up and realize that Mirah, in her eerily sumptuous voice, is asking for a good shag – over and over and over.

With a little imagination, the breathy vocals and pulsating rhythm of this track guarantee some visuals to complement your make-out session. “When we ---- we’ll hear beats”… Need we say more?

Something of a cult figure nowadays, Jeff Buckley had a seemingly easy mastery of everything from guitar-driven rock to a cappella vocals. This is one of his best R&B-inspired songs, boldly featuring his torturously lusty voice against a groovy bass line.

Cinerama has made their name with catchy pop symphonies and sensuous lyrics that earn them two spots on this list. “Wow” embodies all the clothes-tearing, wall-slamming, sweaty corporeal contact that comes with a clandestine love affair. The lyrics and building momentum of this song would make any date beg to be the Other Woman in your life.

Well, let’s hope your date has a happier ending than the bloody fate of the real Bonnie and Clyde. The smoky duet of Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg featured on this track (not to mention the sexy French dialogue) will get you on the couch in no time. It really doesn’t get any hotter than the cutest French sex kitten and the francophonic soft-porn minstrel in passionate discourse.

We only promised ten great make out songs, but here is number eleven, perfect for lying in rumpled sheets and cuddling while the sweat evaporates from your bodies; with earnestly sweet guitar and vocals that will certainly score you some bonus points.
