Inspired Drew's Massive Attack/British people having sex post. I for one would have to get dressed and leave if someone put Coldplay or James Blunt, Dido or any of those other bedwetters, regardless of the hotness of rumpo buddy.

The Langley Schools Music Project. A Bad Time. I tried as hard as I could to ignore it, but we finally had to turn it off.

― now now, Thursday, 20 April 2006 23:56 (twenty years ago)

not really music but ESPN on the tv is VERY distracting. "He hits one DEEP to center field! It's gone!!"

any highlight reel consisting of dunks, home runs, or sacks is just too much.

― ryan (ryan), Friday, 21 April 2006 00:09 (twenty years ago)

anything too established can be sort of embarassing---like a time I was doing this guy in a dorm room and he was like "hold on" and got up and put the velvet underground on. This doesn't really count, but Deliverence is not a good thing to have in the background either.

I have found that Etants Donnes generally workss really well, except with one person who suddenly said "it sounds like we're listening to the weather channel" in an exasperated/distracted tone.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Friday, 21 April 2006 03:07 (twenty years ago)

all i'm saying is, whatever sharon resultan and hubby are listening to is obviously working

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 21 April 2006 03:09 (twenty years ago)

Not "inappropriate" in the way the question was posed, but Billie Holiday is probably the most distracting music I've heard while sexing.

― Martin Van Buren (Martin Van Buren), Friday, 21 April 2006 03:10 (twenty years ago)

Something like Yackety Sax, I would imagine.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 April 2006 03:11 (twenty years ago)

But that would be perfect for my coital style!

Are you telling me 'Strange Fruit' wouldn't give you the horn MVB?

gabbneb: innappropriate, yet awesome

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Friday, 21 April 2006 03:18 (twenty years ago)

To be honest, I generally prefer sex w/o music.

Although making out is a different story.

Andrew, thanks for the visual ;P

We Built This City would be appropriate if you were being fucked by Tom Cruise.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 21 April 2006 03:28 (twenty years ago)

Being fucked by Tom Cruise is never appropriate.

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Friday, 21 April 2006 03:30 (twenty years ago)

There's also this from my grandfather:

http://www.popsike.com/pics/silver-s-antiques/20040921/4038927763.jpg

I'd have problems doing it to any recording by a family member, even if Grandfather had sounded like Isaac Hayes, but his is a ten-record set of pipe organ music -- and here's a bit of the set list:
* In the garden of tomorrow
* Simple Aveau
* Oh Gentle Presence
* Shepard, show me how to go
* Air for G string (Bach)
* Somewhere a voice is calling
* Onward christian soldiers
* Taps
* A dream
* Air
* Beautiful dreamer
* In the gloaming
* One sweetly solemn thought
* Beulah land
* Saved by grace
* The swan
* Melody
* The beautiful garden of prayer
* Jesus, lover of my soul
* Angel's serenade
* Jesus calls us
* Lead, kindly light
* Meditation
* No night there
* Close to thee
* Consolation

no, i dont think it was prison sex. iirc, it was mostly lateralus on repeat.

I actually think the West Side Story soundtrack would have got the hormones a-raging circa 1960, no?

Music linked to teen sex habits

They found those who regularly listened to music with explicit and aggressive sexual phrases were twice as likely to be having sex.

Not fair, when I was a youth - "Let me get my hands on your mammary glands" never worked once.
