Panty Melt

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to come on this thread and make a plethora of jokes, but that's really not what I'm looking for. Hopefully there will be at least two or three serious responses from music appreciators (and yes, I'm aware "panty" isn't a word, so if you've got a catchier, concise and proper title, please share it).

Everyone has a version of Panty Melt. One of my best friends came up with the idea and title, and I never thought I'd take the time to put the mix together until recently.

This isn't some mix of random songs. Panty Melt is THE sex mix. There are strict guidelines and restrictions.

No rapping, no overproduction, beat must be the right tempo, content and lyrics have to be perfect, etc. The track order is perhaps the most critical aspect, since you're probably not going to fuck right away without some cuddling, kissing and foreplay.

Based on the above, a lot of excellent songs obviously aren't going to make the cut.

The final rip will be 18 or 19 songs.

"50 Candles" by Boyz II Men, "Slow Is The Way" by The Isley Brothers, "Lights Down Low" by Bobby Valentino, "Sing To You" by Johnny P., "Nobody" by Keith Sweat, "Bed" by J. Holiday, "Director" by Avant and "O" by Omarion are all leading candidates.

What song is your absolute NECESSITY for Panty Melt?

 

I don't know. Is there a song about being afraid to call a girl?

 

For me, Red Light Special has to be on it somewhere.

 

I suggest two things.

1. There should be panty melt categories: R&B, County, soft rock, jazz ... hell, even polka. Cuz if you've brought some redneck girl with big ole bobbies home, she ain't getting nekid for Keith Sweat.

2. I'd be willing to donate any music that someone might need via e-mail so we could all have said panty melt mixes on hand in the event we needed it.

 

"Cotton Eyed Joe" by Rednex

... gets me in the mood.

 

It's in what I would call the secondary screening process. Excellent suggestion, though. At approximately what point would it appear on your mix?

 

OK, now to answer your question seriously ...

I'm not a big soul, R&B guy, so my choices would be a little more mainstream and poppier.

But I'm thinking at least one -- if not two -- of the early, foreplay songs should be something by Norah Jones.

Ahh, brings back memories.

 

Early, it's a very girly song, so it needs to come while he's still trying to seduce me.

 

Marvin Gaye and Al Green are good starting points.

 

I was having trouble finding one of Marvin's classics with a suitable beat to flow with the rest of the mix, but I'll keep working on it.

 

Just play 50 Cent's "Curtis" and Kanye West's "Graduation". Seemed to work for me recently. That is all.

The man makes the panties melt, not the music. Don't get that confused.

 

Uh, try "Sexual Healing."


Actually, if you want some old school R&B panty melt in addition to "Sexual Healing," try "Sex Machine" by James Brown, "Lay Me Like You Hate Me," by Wilson Pickett, or "Dark End of the Street" by James Carr.

Or ask six of your would-be girlfriend's girlfriends what they think you should put into it.
