Sorry if this starts another stupid thread - but last week when I was
listening to Monster I just couldn't help noticing that Twilight Sleep I
Dream just ooooooozes sex - not just in the lyrics but the song as a
whole.

This is the difinitive REM song to screw to.

btw, it's I Don't Sleep, I Dream.
but anyway, y'know i never thought about it really but i always saw
the opposite.
"i'd settle for a cup of coffee but you know what i really need..."
i always saw that as he saying that he needs something more.
i never saw the "something more" as sex necessarily. he seems
to be mocking it, and his position in the media.
thoughts???

I don't think I'd "screw" to any REM song either. It'd probably make me want
to do some kinky political dance.

And while we're on the subject, Mazzy Star is the one to listen to...;-)

pK, fade into you...

I would argue that the best album for sex is A4TP. Take out
Everybody Hurts, Sidewinder and Ignoreland. If you don't pay attention to
the lyrics, the remaining music is rather nice. There is also a reason why
I don't knock Hairshirt. Admittedly having sex to it can be rather pleasant.

Definitely Star me Kitten, You, Endgame, Low, Underneath the Bunker
I'm gonna stop now.

well I've never screwed to an REM song...
I've never screwed to any song....

BUT THAT's another story for another newsgroup way....waaaayy far from
this one.
If I were to vote for the song on which Stipe's voice is the sexiest, the
two I'd pick would be "*@#! Me Kitten" and "Begin the Begin."

Oh, I dunno...I've managed romantic interludes to nearly every one of
REM's albums.

It was a little difficult to sustain the mood during "We Walk", though.

While completely naked, ChrncTown proposed:

: Imagine bopping to "Shiny Happy People" (in rhythm to the handclaps)

a little hand cuffs, some candle wax, black leather, zippers, whips,
chains...and shiny happy people glowing all over the place...VERY
tantalizing...

pK, not my idea of a romantic evening...:(

Eventhough the song kind of sounds depressing(Like "Everybody Hurts")
I would definately choose "Country Feedback", it just has that feel to it

Agreed. Everytime I hear that it makes me realize what a wicked (and pointed)
sense of humor Stipe has. Somehow I bet some religious-right-pro-military type
in the audience that evening thought he was being totally serious.

Tongue? "Ugly girls know their fate. Anybody can get laid..." Hardly what
I'd care to be listening to. It's an emotional song, but hardly suited for
sex if you listen to the words. "Country Feedback" would be great for the
last time before going away, though.

Anyway, Clinton is most certainly a man with moral deficiencies, but
that's not really what I'm pointing at, since that's happened before in
US History. He's a wishy-washy guy who's always flipping back and
forth on the issues... a president should be a man of principles, IMHO.

I don't think Forbes will actively seek to destroy the environment,
and it's not like the Clintster is doing a whole lot to support it,
just making political posturing. Can you really believe anything he
says?

Oh, yeah. Um, REM. There, now it's topical. :)

Sexiest? what does that mean, anyway..... "YATE" is about fraternal and

"sexiest".... Please explain this one to me. I am all confused..... not

I think * Me Kitten is the closest I can come to wrt finding any REM song
"sexy," although what's sexy is a state of mind.

pK, sexy and all that too.

I have discovered a very sexy bit on the Monster album, believe it or not. If
you listen to the background vocals to "King of Comedy", you can hear a female
singer (whose name I knew but temporarily forget) singing "Oh, yeah". Now THAT
is sexy.

Also, I find "You" sexy, but that may just be because of memories attached with
it!!

Well, unfortunately, I don't have any "memories" attached to this song. :-(
This, does, however, allow me to confirm that it is a *very* sexy song.
I mean, *really* sexy. *Biggly* *hugely* sexy] Just *enormously*
*wildly* SEXY] Probably, their sexiest song EVER] Very, very sexy.
