And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

I agree with the people who named the Phantom and Jekyll and Hyde songs. They are definitely fantastic and sextacular.

I maybe a little weird for saying this one, but I kind of get a little worked up during "Hello, Little Girl" from Into the Woods. I got even more worked up when I got the ITW DVD and saw Robert Westenberg with that shocking wolf costume. Tee hee.

Are we justifying them being sexy based on music, lyric or staging?

All three?

I super-second Lost and Found from City of Angels. Although Tennis Song is also pretty sexy.

Let's see, I agree with most of the posts already...

All That Jazz - Chicago
Whatever Lola Wants - Damn Yankees
Hey Big Spender - Sweet Charity

Also - With You from Pippin (that is, if it's being done by adults and NOT by a high school!).

Hmm - I'm seeing a Fosse pattern here.

I think the stage version of "Point of No Return" from POTO is extremely sexy...especially if the Phantom has great hands (Kevin Gray, Hugh Panaro & John Ownen Jones come to mind)

"Are we justifying them being sexy based on music, lyric or staging?"

Just whatever you think makes them sexy. I try not to be too limiting in my topics, I feel like it's a hindrance to discussion.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Contact - Rent
I'll Cover You - Rent (not in an I want you now kind of way, but the love you feel in that song makes it sexy)
Everything's Alright - Jesus Christ Superstar - a good mix of love, seduction and jealousy

I never saw the staging of this song, but would 'Tick Tock' from Company qualify?

'Come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day . . ." Brigadoon

"Tick Tock" certainly qualifies depending on choreographer and dancer - unfortunately, most productions I've seen of Company just wipe it out.

No one every mentions the music in sexiest song categories that pop up, but i think Wild Party(Lippa) has some very very sexy songs. The juggernaut just drips sex, I LOVE IT! Most of the songs with burrs and queenie there i just such sexual tension and anger you feel they are gonna drop to the floor and get to it, or kill each other

Wet from Steel Pier...especially as sung by Brent Barrett and Jane Krakowski on his Kander & Ebb album...

I second and third The Tennis Song and Lost and Found from City of Angels.

Also...Sweet Transvestite from The Rocky Horror Show, Take Off With Us from Fosse (and the movie All That Jazz), and Shameless and This Night from Movin' Out as performed by Elizabeth Parkinson and Keith Roberts.

Ya know, listening to my TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA CD, there were several sexy songs in there ("Thurio's Rhumba", "To Whom It May Concern", ""What's a Nice Girl Like You", etc.)

"Where's the Girl?" Scarlet Pimpernel- Terry's vocals in that can put me in a coma.
"Point of no Return" POTO- It's beautiful
"Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" Pal Joey- I LOVE that song, ecspecially if Patti Lupone sings it.

The As Long As You Are Mine when Idina and Taye were playing opposite each other. I have seen videos of it, and it was palpable. The two of them have some chemistry.

"Where's the Girl?" from Scarlet Pimpernel. Mmmmmmmmm. "I'll warm you, I'll rouse you..." Please, please do!

I've also always loved "Too Much In Love To Care" from Sunset Boulevard.

And let's not forget "Last Night of the World" from Miss Saigon.
