Green Green Dress - tick, tick...BOOM!
Let Yourself Go - All Shook Up
Contact - RENT
Say it Somehow - The Light in the Piazza
You Can Be as Loud... - Avenue Q
Special - Avenue Q
Depending on how far we go with the song, 'Happily Ever After' from Once Upon A Mattress can be a pretty damn sexy song when it wants to be.
I agree with Green Green Dress. Mm-hmm.
"A Call From the Vatican" from Nine- hands down!
Interesting....I think that Contact can go either way with whether it's sexy or really creepy. I found it the latter when I saw it live, but I think it depends on the performers.
Anyway, I second:
All that Jazz - CHICAGO
Whatever Lola Wants - DAMN YANKEES
Music of the Night - PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Point of No Return - PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
As Long as You're Mine - WICKED
Interesting little story about the last one... I used to really dislike As Long As You're Mine on the OBC soundtrack. It just seemed, musically and lyrically, to be rather trite and basically the token duet to add substance to the Elphaba/Fiyero relationship. I read Maguire's novel, though, and then developed a whole new appreciation for the song. Lyrically, it does pretty well in communicating what obviously can't be shown onstage. So I'm still not crazy about the song itself, but with the underlying knowledge about the relationship from the book (which doesn't at all translate well in the musical) and with the way it's staged, it's undeniably pretty sexy.

can we just simply say fosse...that man can make anything hot
I don't think it's been mentioned:
"You're The Top", Cole Porter :P I'm sort of joking. Kind of.
"Can't Help Loving Dat Man" from Showboat is sexy in the right hands.
"Sooner or Later" from Dick Tracy.
Of course it has been mentioned several times but the sexiest song in any musical is obviously
"A Call From the Vatican". Oh, someday I'll write a song like that.

PRIVATE CONVERSATION from SIDE SHOW.
Emily Skinner and Jeff McCarthy had such amazing chemistry. Emily had the most seductive look when she appeared from the darkness of his imagination toward the beginning of the song.

nydirector...lmao!!! That was great you just made my day a little better!
Ok i agree with pretty much all that have been posted...thank you whoever finally mention Green Green Dress...that was the first one that popped into my mind my top choices
Contact, Light My Candle-RENT
Point of No Return and Music of the Night- POTO both songs within and taken out of context are just hot...esp if the person singing it has tons of emotion
Special an Loud As the Hell You Want- but LAHYW only when taken out of context. When it is in the show it is just funny
and I agree with As Long as Your Mine-depending on who is doing it...but I see it as a very sensual song and it can be just hot to watch and listen to!
Of course we on this board could probably turn most things into sensual songs...
The title song from Anything goes is too...no mention of that yet though
I can't believe no one has mentioned "I've Got Your Number" from Little Me...that's the sexiest showtune of all time, imo.
Also,
"Dangerous Game" - J and H
"Lost and Found", "The Tennis Song", "It Needs Work" and "With Every Breath I Take" - City of Angels
"Too Darn Hot" - Kiss Me Kate
Heck, ALL of Cole Porter's stuff is electrifyingly sexy.
"Naughty Baby" - Don't know original show, but now Crazy For You
"Whatever Lola Wants" - Damn Yankees
"Steam Heat" - The Pajama Game
"On The Right Track" - Pippin
"Light My Candle", "Out Tonight", "Take Me or Leave Me" - Rent
SO many others...
Contact - Rent
As Long as You're Mine - Wicked

Here is one that I don't think anyone has mentioned, and I cannot believe that I forgot it:
AC/DC- Starlight Express (along with Dangerous Game, the sexiest song I know)
Forgot about The Tennis Song and As Long As You're Mine....
(btw- I'm just leaving Cabaret, Chicago, and The Rocky Horror Show out of my list because for all of these the whole bloody show is sexy -to me).
Also, maybe I'm weird but....
Waltz for Eva and Che- Evita (depending on the staging, I saw a production where they waltzed thisclose for the entire song, but never actually touched...terribly hot)
Kiss of the Spider Woman (most of the songs, actually, but particularly the title song)
Rhythm of Life- Sweet Charity
Alive- Jekyll & Hyde (with Robert Cuccioli singing it)
Turn Back, O man- Godspell (dependign on how it is done, seen it both incredibly sexy and incredibly pathetic)
You Are Woman, I am Man- Funny Girl (funny and sexy at the same time, unbeatable combination)
(yup, I'm definitely weird)
Carpe Noctem...
I second both 'Point of No Return' and 'Dangerous Game' and I'll raise you all a 'Come With Me' from The Wild Party.
Basically, that whole show is hot. But I'm going to go with the giant orgy sing-a-long. Yup.
"Whatever Lola Wants" - Damn Yankees
"Blame It on the Summer Night" - Rags
"Out Tonight" - Rent
"We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover" from Annie.
...hands down.
I think Dangerous Game is sexy in a "I'm a special lady that likes to be treated like a whore" sorta way.
"Tunnel of Love" from Side Show - hot Siamese twin over the sweater action!!!
"Love is Your Legs"-DRS
"As Long as Your Mine"-Wicked (Norbert and Idina)
"Special"-Avenue Q
"All That Jazz"-Chicago
"I Should Tell You"-Rent
When I first saw the title of this thread I thouht it said "Sexest Songs from Musicals"..so I was trying to think of the most blantantly offensive sexest songs in history....
Anyway..I second the poster who mention Cole Porter--pretty much all of his music is sexy--but "Too Darn Hot", "Why Don't You Behave" and "Always True to you in my Fashion" from Kiss Me, Kate immediately come to mind. "Steam Heat" from Pajama Game is great. How about "The Heat is on in Saigon" and "The American Dream" from Miss Saigon.
Forgot:
I Should Tell You-Rent
Out Tonight-Rent
Turn Back, O man-Godspell
All That Jazz-Chicago
