— Ace Honestly, I'm not just creating argument threads because I got nothin' myself (well, there's some of that, I guess), but I kinda think this is funny.
Okay, so everyone can sorta name their favorite make-out songs. For whatever reason, they work for you. A lot of them probably because they were actually playing one of the first times you fooled around.
But what are the worst make-out songs of all time? Whether because the beat is all wrong, the song is just plain goofy and silly, or because the lyrics are just inappropriate or annoying.
I don't know the worst make-out song, but right now, I'm thinking that it would be sorta a drag to try to make out to Billy Joel's Allentown. You know, it's hard to feel sexy when you're being informed "They're shutting all the factories down."
Tangential Update: I posted this once before, expecting a lot of links, but no one seemed to care.
Patti mentions Puddle of Mudd's She Hates Me as a bad make-out song, although I always sorta like those angry ones.
Anyway, one of the weirdest things I found trolling on the internet (of a non-pornographic nature, I mean) is this site, in which people compulsively compile "X-Men Music Videos" to pop/rock/punk songs, featuring clips from the two movies.
You can view She Hates Me, acted out by Jean, Rogue, and Wolverine there.
I don't know. Am I the only person who finds this bizarre, funny, and kind of endearing simultaneously?
If it were just one guy making these videos, I don't think I'd care. But there are a whole group of people who really feel the need to put Cyclops into Twisted Sister's We're Not Gonna Take It.

Back in late 80's, my girlfriend decided while we were slow dancing that the Def Leppard song "Love Stinks" was "our song."
Needless to say, this would be my nomination...

Of course, there's always Copacabana.

Ironically a mix using that song was playing the first time my husband and I went clubbing. We joke it is our song. Funny shit.

It's a great song, and of course all about making out, but there's that moral at the end that kills any heat that might have been generated by the first 23 minutes.
Plus the sound of Phil Rizzuto's voice definitely puts a damper on things.

Not to be a dick but it was probably either "Love Stinks" by J. Geils Band or "Love Bites" by Def Leppard. Either way, I agree bad choice.
I'd vote for "Sanitarium" by Metallica or any song invloving heroin such as "Hurt" by NIN/Johnny Cash or "Heroin" by VU. Unless of course you're both on heroin, then I guess it fits.

"Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel" church hymnal
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by A. Franklin?
Posted by: Chris at October 31, 2004 08:37 AM (Lg8LK)
Tainted Love?
No way!
I would put that song on my all-time Best list.
But back to Ace's query, the worst...
I think it may be Hey Ricky! (You're So Fine).
Blech!
Posted by: MeTooThen at October 31, 2004 08:37 AM (OH2z7)
Whoever said the national anthem - good call - lol
Or, My heart bleeds the darkest blood by Shai Hulud - any song that opens with someone screaming "I HAVE TO LET YOU DIE!!!!..." isn't what I'd call a panty-dropper.
My final suggestion is ANY speedmetal.
Heh.
Posted by: fat kid at October 31, 2004 08:51 AM (JiosZ)
P.S. Another funny one would be "Tonight we're gonna give it 35%" by Against Me

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross and the Supremes? PERFECT makeout song. "I'll be there in a hurry." "No wind, no rain, or winter storm can stop me, baby, if you're my goal." "Nothing can keep me from you." Plus many Diana Ross "whoos" and "uh-huhs."
Maybe you had to be there.
Candidate for the worst one (for makeout purposes, only): George Jones, "He Stopped Loving Her Today."

How can you make out when you are listening to a woman on talk radio discussing when she was "assulted sexually"?

God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood. Giggle time.
Wings of a Dove, by Ferlin Husky (all waltz time is pretty bad);
Indian Love Call, by Slim Whitman. If she's matian, her head will a-splode;
She Got Love All Over Me, by Razzy Bailey. (This one could work if you are making out in the sleeper of a Peterbilt behind a Texaco.)
Dueling Banjos, (from Deliverance) unless...well, never mind.

Get a Job by Outcast.
Close My Eyes Forever by Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford (A very touching song about committing suicide.)

FWIW, I think you might be referring to "Mickey" by Toni Basil (it's like a cheerleading song, almost).
Although, if I recall correctly, Weird Al did do a parody of 'Mickey', titled 'Ricky', with Lucy and Ricky (of "I Love Lucy") as the main characters.
So you could be right...

True story: back in high school, I sent a tape of that song to a girl who wouldn't go out with me. Her mother urged her to slap a restraining order on me.
Surprisingly, over fifteen years later, that girl is one of my best friends.
The moral? Sometimes childhood stupidity is only stupid, and nothing worse. Unless it involves trenchcoats and gunfire, of course.
Cheers,
Dave

LOL!
You're right, twice!
I combined them!
Xoxotl
I guess it depends.
There is, after all, a lot of Zappa (and the Mothers)
Hot Rats is pretty hot. Now on CD. Put it on and...
And lastly, George,
Gotta disagree.
My girfriend in college (back in the day, sadly twenty years ago) really liked Devo.
Really.
We're Through Being Cool
Satisfaction
Both got me lots of love.

Are you thinking of me when you fuck her
I challenge the readers of this blog to come up with a worse make-out song than that...

Carl,
I disagree on that one. I likes me some of that.
"Jethro Tull, Aqualung"
Oh yeah. Not a sexy song. The pedophilia's bad, but the flutes...

Stumbo, I was thinking about naming that one along with Allentown. I decided to just go with the single-bullet for clarity.

The absolutely worst venue I ever heard this was at a wedding reception (I was catering, not a guest, so have no idea if the couple were just such huge Pearl Jam fans that they were oblivious to the lyrics, or whether it meant...something else. That was four years ago. Wonder what happened to them, anyway?)

"If you insist on playing Wham, we're not having sex. That's all there is to it."

Although a friend of mine just told me about a guy who stopped to flip the cassette over. Not a good sign.
