At the risk of causing massive worldwide labial growth, I’ll post my vagina music playlist. But, seriously, don’t hold me responsible when you indeed grow a vagina from merely reading the song titles. Or, ladies, you sprout an extra. I’ve given you fair warning. Proceed at your own risk.
Make your own signs free of vagina here
What do I consider vagina music? Well, first and foremost, you don’t have to sport a vagina to create vagina music. No, no. My playlist is a fairly equal mix of sausages and clams. And, if you’re expecting a list stocked with Enya, forget it…she’s beyond vagina. She’s…I don’t know…clitoris music. I don’t do Enya.
While I certainly don’t speak for all the vaginas in the world, my vagina music is comprised mostly of forlorn tunes. Sad, yearning for love vagina…music. The set is great for driving as it’s mellow enough to put the kids to sleep yet soul-stirring enough to keep me lost in thought and awake behind the wheel. Score.
Let me add that I’m not stereotyping vaginas by any means. I would love to hear how your vagina music is all Rick James…Give It to Me, Baby and Super Freak. (ya nasty freaks)
I’ll stop beating around the bush and get down to business. I now give to you my vagina music.
- Nothing Breaks Like a Heart – The Pretenders
- Love – Paul Simon
- Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell – The Flaming Lips
- Hounds of Love – Kate Bush
- I See Monsters – Ryan Adams
- Glory Box – Portishead
- Hide & Seek 2- Imogen Heap
- Do You Feel Me? – Anthony Hamilton
- Wild World – Cat Stevens
- Like a Star – Corinne Bailey Rae
- Walk Away – Ben Harper
- Come Pick Me Up – Ryan Adams
- Thank You, Louise – Ryan Adams
- Beautiful – Me’Shell Ndegéocello
- Hungry Heart – Minnie Driver
- To Make You Feel My Love – Billy Joel
- Let It Die – Feist
- Comin’ Back to Me – Jefferson Airplane
- The Heart of the Matter – India.Arie
First line of Nothing Breaks Like a Heart, “You don’t love me anymore, I can feel it”….vagina music.
Paul Simon’s Love…I love the lyrics to this one. “Makes you want to get down and crawl like a beggar for its touch” and “Makes you want to laugh out loud when you receive it and gobble it like candy”…I do love me some candy. I always had an opened bag of Skittles in my majorette jacket pocket all through high school. Gobble, gobble. I want candy.
Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell…by The Flaming Lips. I guess with a band name like that, you could classify all of their music as vagina music. (i couldn’t help it! that was a gimme) The lyrics “I was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came”…ahhhhh, vagina music.
Hounds of Love…by Kate Bush. (okay, i won’t go there) This has always been a favorite to belt out alone in the car, flying along the interstate. (which, i know, negates the whole aforementioned mellow vibe…i don’t crank it with the wee ones in tow) “I’ve always been a coward, and I don’t know what’s good for me”…vaaaagina music.
Ryan Adams’ I See Monsters… Ryan Adams pops up three times on my vagina playlist. I bet he never thought himself a vagina musician. Hey, buddy, sorry about that. But, a lot of your music does appeal to the forlorn vagina crowd. I See Monsters…one of my head-trippy songs.
Ummm, Glory Box. Do I need to say anything beyond the title? “For I’ve been a temptress too long.” “I just wanna be a woman.” This was around the time on our return trip home from Nashville that I advised Gav to crank his own tunes.
Imogen Heap’s Hide & Seek 2. I just love her voice and the continuous hum of whatever’s in the background.
Do You Feel Me? Often asked of my va…. I like this groovy Anthony Hamilton tune even though it sometimes kinda sounds like he’s singing through a mouth full of mashed potatoes. I still dig his soulfulness.
Wild World by Cat Stevens…any song that starts with a series of la-la-la’s? Vagina music.
Like a Star…me and all the 13-year-old girls of the world sway to this one.
Ben Harper’s Walk Away…FORLORN. Really, take your pick of any line in the lyrics, any. “It’s time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.” Punch me in the gut there, Ben.
Come Pick Me Up…I admit this is probably my favorite Ryan Adams’ tune. I noticed Gav singing along to this one on the Nashville drive knowing every.single.word.
“How do you know this song? Please don’t say Family Guy.“
“Well, duh. You used to play it ALL THE TIME back at the old apartment.“
Oh. Woops. I do that with songs I really like…play them on repeat while I lose myself in whatever fantasy I’ve got going on. And, now my 13-year-old son knows all the lyrics to Come Pick Me Up. (i kinda find that awesome, actually)
What better way to follow a Ryan Adams song than with a Ryan Adams song. Thank You Louise is just a pretty song with pretty guitar playing. Pretty pretty. (and that wraps up our ryan adams vagina music for today)
Beautiful by Me’Shell Ndegéocello who I understand enjoys va… This is just a beautiful song, not so much forlorn. Just one of those Ahhhhhhh tunes.
Yes, I have a Minnie Driver song on my vagina playlist. I like her cover of Springsteen’s Hungry Heart. I wouldn’t include his version as part of my vagina music. But, Minnie slows it down and makes it more…vagina, I suppose.
To Make You Feel My Love by Billy Joel. I’m actually fond of all versions of this Bob Dylan tune. Go to the ends of the Earth for me? Hold me for a million years? Vagina music.
Feist’s Let It Die…Major vagina tune. Heck, Colonel vagina tune. Lieutenant General vagina tune. General of the vagina tune army. “The tragedy starts from the very first spark, Losing your mind for the sake of your heart.” Say it with me…vagina music.
Oh, Jefferson Airplane’s Comin’ Back to Me…I admit that I have bawled my eyes out on occasion to this number. Heaving, writhing, I’m gonna dehydrate through my eyeballs kind of bawling. This is one of those songs, much like all of Nick Drake’s music, that’s good for crying. And, crying music can’t be penis music. No, it’s vagina music. “One begins to read between the pages of a look”…ohh man. “Scatter my love like leaves on the wind”…man oh man. “A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh”…sheesh.
Lastly, India.Arie’s remix of a Don Henley tune The Heart of the Matter. Forlorn with a positive spin, I suppose. Geez no, I did not pull this from the Sex and the City movie soundtrack. I have a couple of India.Arie cds around.

There you have it, folks. You didn’t realize you were getting yourselves roped into my own therapy session here, did you? I seriously would like to hear your vagina playlists. I show you mine, you show me yours. Or your penis playlists if you prefer. I realize many of you write blogs that your parents read. Aaaand, your parents would not approve of you airing your musical genitals out in public like that. (my brother J is still my only family reader…he’s accidentally seen video footage of me and my breastfeeding jugs…he can handle the vagina music) So, call it your Gardening Music. Or, your Snatch List. Whatever. And, don’t be shy if Le Freak tops your vagina playlist.

“Bitch” by Meredith Brooks would have to top my vadgeTunes playlist. A little Annie Lennox – some passive/aggressive “Walking on Broken Glass”: ’cause if you want to hurt me, you’re doing really well, my dear!” wouldn’t go amiss. My Pretenders tune is “Brass in Pocket,” for that list – we all think we’re special… A little nostalgia for The Motels with “Only the Lonely,” – clearly Vadge music. “Constant Craving” from kd lang, as well as “The Mind of Love,” both from her Ingenue CD. Some Indigo Girls would round out the list. I’m thinking “Love Will Come to You,” would fill it out nicely. Or “Ghost,” if the aforementioned tune wouldn’t suit.
Hmmmm… I need my own vadgeTunes post.

I’m so tired…of playing…playing with this bow and arrow…

Peevish, those are all great vadge tunes. After your random song shuffle post, I expected your vadge list to be filled with classical tunes. Classy, refined vadge…music.
…gonna give my heart away…leave it to the other girls to play…

omg, i am laughing. laughing. laughing.
i would put tori amos on there, too, with “in the springtime of his voodoo.” great song, and it actually talks about her “angry snatch (girls you know what i mean)”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YOVLQSTBT8
besides, it starts off with one of the best opening lines in music history: “standing on the corner in winslow, arizona, and i’m quite sure i’m in the wrong song.”

Wow, she really goes to town on that piano bench. Definitely a vagina tune there. Thanks for alerting me to that. Aaaand, the uhhh vagina trainer? Really, who gets curious and decides, “I wonder…if I shove this here, will I ever see it again?? Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll continue pissing myself when I sneeze, whimpy vagina me.

[...] has posted a playlist of some of her favorite “vagina music,” with her post entitled exceeding my bandwith on the word vagina.¹ (You should go check out Dee’s blog, by the way. In case you haven’t guessed it, [...]

This is so incredibly awesome.
I will not be able to hear a song for the next 72 hours without evaluating whether it is a vagina song (and this could get dangerous, since we listen to an inordinate amount of Disney and Sesame Street.)
Will you make a penis playlist. Please? Please???
onthecurb // July 7, 2009 at 10:18 pm |
Thanks for dropping by, Holly! Hmm, a penis playlist…I’ll see what I can whip up. Expect a smattering of AC/DC…Hell’s Bells, Big Balls,… Oh, my bad. That would be the testicle playlist.
