10 Movie Songs We Can't Hear Without Thinking Of Sex

Page 2 of 2

5. Phil Collins, "Sussudio," from American Psycho: A hilarious yet disturbingly dark scene, "Sussudio" is described as the film's psycho-killer sociopath lead Patrick Bateman's "personal favorite," before he engages in a twisted threesome with two prostitutes.

4. Peter Gabriel, "In Your Eyes," from Say Anything: One of the most innocently romantic of the bunch, this song defines and is defined by this movie. And who doesn't want to be reminded of having sweaty car sex with Llyod Dobler, am I right?

3b. The Cars, "Moving in Stereo," from Fast Times at Ridgemont High: Not exactly from a sex scene, per se, but male readers would crucify us for not including the song that soundtracked one of '80s film's most memorably sexy pool scenes.

3a. Jackson Browne, "Somebody's Baby," from Fast Times at Ridgemont High: The scene that made high-school "pool-house sex" a thing.

2. Berlin, "Take My Breath Away," from Top Gun: The song became notorious in '80s cinema, with ample thanks to Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis' steamy love scenes, not to mention its subsequent inclusion in decades' worth of late-night frat parties.

1. Righteous Brothers, "Unchained Melody," from Ghost: If anyone can hear this song and not immediately picture Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore straddling a pottery wheel, you either a) haven't seen Ghost or b) might be asexual.
