Musical seduction songs???

Posted: 8/3/09 at 3:12am

I know this is random, but I love seduction showtunes. Here are the ones I can think of, what else is there?


Call From The Vatican (Nine)
Whatever Lola Wants (Damn Yankees)
Growing Up (Merrily We Roll Along, Gussie's part)
A Visit (Kiss of the Spider Woman)
Sooner or later (Dick Tracy movie. This should count. It's an Oscar winning Sondheim song)
Special (Avenue Q)
Lost and Found (City of Angels)
What's Your Rush (Bounce)
Any Moment (Into The Woods)

All I can think of right now. What others are there along those lines? You can take the lyrics out of context.

I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You- Evita
The Word of Your Body- SA
Dangerous Game- Jekyll and Hyde (did I really just post that? LOL)
Perfectly Marvelous- Cabaret (even though it's not a sexual seduction)



At some point someone is bound to say There's A World, even though it's not really all that sexual. So, lets just say it now.

Pretty much the entire score of THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

^I was gonna say Waiting for the music to begin. Such a great song (surprising since its from Witches of Eastwick which has a terrible score overall).

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

Well, my first thought was "I've Got Your Number," but someone beat me to it! lol

Anyway, "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" is another example, although it's a lot more "innocent" than most of the others that have been mentioned here. Still counts, though. And how about "Some Enchanted Evening"? "Make Believe"?

And, of course, there's "Small Talk" from The Pajama Game.

Good Night Jake from The New Musical by Ryan Scott Oliver, "Mrs Sharp."

Here's a link to the Song from when the show was called "Alive at 10." In this video Wicked's ALEX BRIGHTMAN plays Jake.

This is one of the most steaming and scandalous songs written for theatre, Here is where teacher Mrs Sharp, gets her 16 year old student Jake into bed. You should have seen JANE KRAKOWSKI do this role last week at the Workshop at Playwrights horizons, her performance was phenomenal. I hope this show gets a full production soon.
