A bit of fun. Apparently of 19 genres of music, that from musicals is the least likely to get played in the British bedroom for “romantic” purposes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38918963Personally a blast of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang revs my engine, but maybe others have views? |

Back in my younger days before I really knew the show, I though "unworthy of your love" from Assassins was one of the most beautiful romantic songs I had heard and would happily have had it to my wedding, cut to me realising it was about paedophilia and Charles manson.....

City on fire (seeeney Todd) is great music for doing it ...
As is Bill Sykes and Dumb Dog

More likely to be U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D. going by the report. |

I agree showtunes aren't the sexiest of things, although I've always thought As Long As Your Mine from Wicked a surprisingly romantic/sexy moment (depending who has performed it)

Unless it's all going to be over in three minutes you need a mix of songs and they could be show tunes if judiciously chosen, opening with some sultry ballads - female vocals, preferably - and gradually moving into some things with a bit more tempo. But the lyrics need to be pretty bland - you don't want to find yourself listening to the words. Or, worse, singing along!

But the lyrics need to be pretty bland - you don't want to find yourself listening to the words. Or, worse, singing along! Oh, don't! I once had a boyfriend who made mix tapes for this very purpose, quite sweet and thoughtful but I always felt as though his "seductions", for want of a better word, were a bit choreographed, what if we were still on the 'ballad part' when the music moved more uptempo? He seemed to be anticipating the next track (that he had brilliantly chosen) and - horror- did indeed sing along a bit. No distractions in the boudoir for me, thank you. Sorry, was that TMI?! |

OMG I have just spat coffee all over my shiny Apple....I first read that substituting an 'e' for the second 'a' I've just nearly choked on a croissant (not a euphamism) at that. Side note, ballad with an e is one of the most wonderful and underused insults. Anyone considered 'Blow Gabriel Blow' as an, ahem accompaniment? |

I'd like to thank you all for the fact I just had to write 'Ballad' in a review and nearly called my editor a...well.

Anyone familiar with a comedic song that Bernadette Peters sang on a very popular late night American television show written by two women called Making Love Alone?
