#1The Ultimate Seduction Songs??
Posted: 1/2/08 at 3:22am

Sorry if this has been done before. What do you think are the ultimate seduction songs from musicals?

My top 3

1. Whatever Lola Wants (Damn Yankees)
2. A Call From The Vatican (Nine)
3. Sooner or Later (Dick Tracy movie) *This should count, it's Sondheim

Of course "A Call From the Vatican" is at the top of my list. That is my number 1 seduction song, I can't get enough of it. Jane Krakowski's rendition has over a 200 count on my iPod and Anita Morris' isn't too far from that.
Other favorites:
"Sooner or Later"-DICK TRACY (of course it counts, plus it has been on Broadway in PUTTING IT TOGETHER, deliciously performed by Ruthie Henshall)
"Welcome to Holiday Inn"-SEESAW (pretty funny)
"I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You"-EVITA (nothing like manipulative seductive Eva Peron)
"Who Couldn't Dance With You?"-GRAND HOTEL (yes, I have a thing for Jane Krakowksi)
"Small World"-GYPSY
"Big Spender"-SWEET CHARITY
And two odd ones that I personally consider seduction songs (or at least they can be): "I Read" from PASSION and "Daddy's Girl" from GREY GARDENS.


"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Most of the Songs Aura/Spiderwoman sing in The Kiss Of the Spiderwoman.

Come and find me, hear my song
Let me hold you here where you belong...
Lips are waiting, pain will cease
Calm your anguish
I can bring you peace...

The Word of Your Body (Reprise), from Spring Awakening

Come, cream away the bliss
Travel the world within my lips
Fondle the pearl of your distant dreams
Haven’t you heard the word of your body?

O, you’re gonna be wounded
O, you’re gonna be my wound
O, you’re gonna bruise too
O, I’m gonna be your bruise

Sung by the amazingly seductive Johnny B. Wright. How could anyone stand a chance?

Tunnel of Love from Sideshow:

Dreamed of being close
Now I'm pressing against his side
Do I dare to make an advance?
He's not made a move
Should I swallow my girlish pride?
This could be my only chance

I had planned to keep the temperature cool
She's raising my Fahrenheit
Don't let passion rule you
Don't be a fool
Don't feel that appetite
Oh what the hell - why fight?

All alone now
No one is watching us
Why not climb over the wall?
Take me and give me your all

You know, if you sing it right, "Come to My Garden" can be pretty sexy.

Trust me, there was nothing better to do backstage waiting to move a couch than make "Come to My Garden" a torch song.


Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Turn Back O Man can be incredibly seductive. I saw a production where the actress came through the audience and flirted with the guy in the row in front of me. How I wished I had been in his place!

Sebastian isn't seducing anyone, he's just persuading.

"Poor Unfortunate Souls" is a seduction song. So is "Kiss the Girl."


Bill Finn rocks. Woot.
