"Rock 'n' roll don't come from your brain," James Franco's character says in an episode of 'Freaks and Geeks.' "It comes from your crotch." For more than 40 years, singers have gone to great lengths to tap into the erotic experience, going as far as simulating orgasms on record -- sometimes eerily accurately. Valentine's Day is overrun by chocolate boxes and cheesy cards, yes, but it also holds the prospect of getting some -- so to help that along we've rounded up our favorite vocal renditions of the "Big O."
'Jungle Fever,' The Chakachas (1972)
Vocally, 'Jungle Fever' consists only of moans, sexy Spanish utterances and orgasms -- and really, really convincing ones at that. In fact, if this Belgian-spawned Latin jam doesn't get you in the mood, we're not sure what will. This Top 10 US hit is like a sonic '70s porno, and it's no surprise that director Paul Thomas Anderson used it to great effect in his adult-film-crew-as-family opus 'Boogie Nights.'
'Date With the Night,' Yeah Yeah Yeahs (2003)
Before she graced fashion mag covers and composed music for a kids' movie (albeit one by her venerable, creative-as-hell ex-boyfriend Spike Jonze), Karen O seemed like a damaged NYC sex kitten, the kind of girl who could drink you under the table and out-wild anybody onstage or off. Here her moan morphs into a scream as she sings, "I'll set you/I'll set it off, off, off, ah-ahhhhhhh!"
'Je t'aime ... moi non plus,' Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg (1969)
You needn't know a word of French to understand this duet, sung (or, rather, whispered seductively) by real-life couple Birkin and Gainsbourg. Birkin's controversial climaxing at the end of the song sparked several countries to ban this worldwide hit; even the Pope made a public stink about it. In the US, that didn't prevent it from peaking on the Billboard singles chart at, appropriately, the No. 69 position.
