Guest Book Idea: Sex Mix Playlist Suggestions

source
I don't want a conventional guest book. I definitely want some kind of memento dedicated to the guests in attendance, but it's gonna be a lil on the looney side. Hear me out.

Everyone always asks their guests to write "marriage advice" next to their names in the guestbook. So the guests generally end up writing old standby's like "Don't go to bed angry"... Or "Always go to bed angry, and talk it out in the morning after you've had time to digest." That kind of advice is all well and good, but we've been living together for 5 years... so I think we've got a handle on whether or not going to bed angry works for us or not.  Every couple is different, and therefore will respond to marriage advice differently. But I do know a bit of advice that EVERY couple can get down with. And that advice, my friends, is simply this: "Have a lot of sex." And to better enable us to have lots of married sex, I thought it would be an awesome idea to ask our guests for song suggestions to go on a "Sex Mix" playlist... you know, their favorite funky grooves to fuck to. Then the next day, after the wedding has come and gone, our freshly married selves will read through the suggestions, and make an arsenal of Sex Mixes ready for our honeymoon listening pleasures.

Here are a few of my favorite Sex Mix Playlist tunes. Feel free to use them at will...
  1. "Since I've Been Lovin' You" - Led Zeppelin
  2. "Beast of Burden" - The Rolling Stones
  3. "El Scorcho" - Weezer
  4. "Sweet Jane" - The Velvet Underground
  5. "Jealous Again" - The Black Crowes
  6. "La La Love You" - The Pixies
  7. "Cry to Me" - Solomon Burke
  8. "These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding
  9. "I Might Be Wrong" - Radiohead
  10. "This Must Be the Place" - Talking Heads
What are your favorite songs to get down to?  What would be the #1 Sex Mix Playlist song you'd write on our guestbook?

  2. This is brillz. May I suggest a little Marvin? Portishead always gets the ladies in the mood. Is Mazzy Star too cliche?! Maybe, but it works every.single.time...

  5. 1)Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Tick," "Date with the night," "Phenomena." Karen O's voice = raw sex.
    2)a bit bouncier, but Liz Phair's "HWC"
    3)PJ Harvey anything (esp. "this is love")
    4)Joan Jett's "Crimson & Clover"
    5) Black Rebel Mototcycle Club's "Ha Ha High Babe" (seeing them in concert was esp. hot)

    [some of these are more for getting things revved up, vs. background music. slow beat might throw ya off]

  10. Kanye West- Love Lockdown

    I think because it starts slow and gets faster.

    I don't even like his music usually.

  12. While Dana stole "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak from me, I have to say that anything that Van Morisson croons is sexytown.

    And I've been married for almost 9 years, y'all.
