Songs to Set the MoodBy
Janie Gaither
Do you remember your very first make out song? How about your first lovemaking song? Luckily, I remember my first make out to music experience all too well and still smirk thinking about how perfect Spandau Ballet’s, “True,” was for my introduction to the world of suck face at that junior high dance. Unfortunately, the special moment came to a quick halt when my mother showed up early and poked me on the shoulder with ‘the look.” It was completely humiliating at the time, but, the song definitely helped set the tone for my first full fledged tongue swapping experience. Sadly, I don’t quite recall the first music-induced bed romp, though. Perhaps, it wasn’t that memorable. Who knows?!? The best make out songs are the ones that set the mood and offer a sexy background for the intimate moment. On the other hand, I’m of the opinion that any song can be a make out song if the atmosphere is steamy enough. From the sultry groove of Barry White to the dirtiness of Tool, music intensifies the action underneath the sheets or on the kitchen table. But, if you’re having trouble getting your freak on and need a little help in the bedroom department, here are some songs that might help you seal the deal: Please note: These tracks are in no particular order. Please feel free to add your own Makeout Playlist.
![]() This song offered a balance of innocent cooing and intense yearning. Would this song work in this era? You be the judge. Chances are it wouldn’t, but it melted the ladies back in the ’80s, especially little ol’ me.
![]() Hot Hot Hot! This song even gets me excited listening to it by myself. Okay, that sounded forward, but the sexiness of the track is guaranteed to leave clothes on your bedroom floor the morning after, and if you replay it, the mood continues to swelter. Enough said.
![]() It’s no surprise that Marvin would fall into the make out song shuffle. The lyrics say it all and the groove is simply perfect for that long awaited moment. Yes, it’s quite cliché, but how can you go wrong?
![]() I’m sure bedrooms all over the globe miss the sexiness of his music. Basically, anything by Barry White will help set the tone for an intense encounter. Trust me on this. Sexy was Barry’s middle name. RIP Barry. Your deep voice left my bed sizzling for many years.
![]() Not to be confused with the Foo Fighter’s cover of the song. Prince’s version of “Darling Nikki” just oozes seduction to me. Perhaps it’s being fascinated with the movie, “Purple Rain,” as a teenager, but this song definitely makes my top list of makeout songs.
And finally…
![]() Yes, I know, the concept of this song is pretty raw, but for that rough playground experience, this track sets the ideal tone! It’s one of my personal favorites and gets me easily excited.

I nominate side two (yes, vinyl talking here) of Van Morrison’s Into the Music (1979). “Angeliou,” “And the Healing has Begun,” and the rapturous climax of “It’s All in the Game / You Know What They’re Writing About.” matt said:
Right on…it’s hot everywhere, so why not make it steamy right here on the Biolog? I would definitely add just about any song by Mazzy Star (Hope Sandoval, where are you?); Portishead gets hi billing too. And, of course, you can’t forget Billie Holiday. So here are some of mine: 1. Take Everything, Mazzy Star Nadia said:
Wow, a Tool song. I would have never even considered to think of them! Good job. Nadia said:
Oh and the cover of BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU’VE GOT by Massive Attack is definitely on my list. Check it out. Marv said:
