The Sexiest Songs to Be Featured in Movies

An incredibly sexy scene in a movie is amplified by the sexy music playing underneath it. Indeed, music is probably at least partially responsible for 90 percent of births since the first notes were ever played. One can think of multiple scenes in numerous films that simply would not have the heft they do without a well-placed song to provide the audience with the aphrodisiac needed to get into the action on screen.

Directors are aware of this plot device and take full advantage of the power of music to get viewers in the mood along with the characters. For your aural pleasure, We Got This Covered’s staff has compiled a list of the sexiest songs to be featured in movies, so grab a glass of champagne, turn down the lights, and slip into something comfortable.

It’s about to get steamy in here.

“I Still Believe” by Tim Cappello (The Lost Boys)

The Lost Boys is an iconic movie that perfectly captures the ups and downs of the young outsider’s experience. The film’s most iconic scene takes viewers to a raucous party where a topless, baby oil-covered Tim Cappello rocks out to “I Still Believe” while playing the saxophone. This sequence perfectly captures the film’s tone and themes of exploration, and with lyrics like “This is our crime, this is our sin,” it’s hard to deny that the scene has some very sensual undertones. – Jonathon Greenall

“Down in Mexico” by The Coasters (Death Proof)

Tension, anticipation, exhilaration, and sexiness galore. It’s a slow build-up to the moment, and it might be a bit one-sided (okay, almost totally one-sided), but the promised dance to Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) by Butterfly (Vanessa Ferlito) is more than worth the wait. Stuntman Mike is just confident, stoic, and engaged enough to make both sides of the dance sexy, while the way Butterfly slowly and seductively dances about him remains a memorable, classic, and definitely Tarantino-esque moment. (It is his movie, after all). It doesn’t hurt that it’s set in Austin (back before Californians took it over for good), with the song and setting mixing in perfect harmony, the name-drops of Antone’s and Guero’s, and the sight of Shiner Bocks hitting all the right notes. – Habeab Kurdi
