Songs That Drive The Gal's Crazy - Let's Name Em'!

castpolymer · November 9th, 2009, 09:58 AM

I learned most of Rick Springfields " Jesse's Girl " this weekend. My wife loves the song, so I thought it would be cool to play it for her. Even now, that song is like female crack. What songs do you think that chicks go crazy for?

P.S. I actually like the song and Rick Springfield. Fun to play also ( for a hack like me ).

retsacelet · November 9th, 2009, 10:07 AM

"My Girl" never fails.

superchicken_VI · November 9th, 2009, 10:17 AM

"Brown Eyed Girl"

Starting 2 Old · November 9th, 2009, 10:36 AM

My wife like Harry Nilsson's "You're Breaking My Heart".

MandyMarie · November 9th, 2009, 11:21 AM

ANYTHING by Jerry Lee Lewis. Especially if it was recorded between 1967 and 1982.

castpolymer · November 9th, 2009, 11:25 AM

Back in the day, this mans song " Escape ( The Pina Colada Song )" made the gals crazy!

drewsblues · November 9th, 2009, 11:27 AM

Wilson Pickett: Mustang Sally.

Love it or hate it, it never fails to fill a dance floor...

woodman · November 9th, 2009, 11:29 AM

"Crazy" — never fails to pack the dance floor on a ladies' choice.

Play that funky music white boy or just about anything from AC/DC and the one that makes everyone go crazy, Sweet home Alabama.

twangstick · November 9th, 2009, 11:54 AM

American Girl by Tom Petty

Fret Wilkes · November 9th, 2009, 11:56 AM

"Miss You" by the Stones always worked.

jazztele · November 9th, 2009, 12:02 PM

al green's "let's stay together" and marvin gaye's "sexual healing"

mind you, bands of the world, I am of the opinion that these songs are almost NEVER covered well (however I do play "stay together" instrumentally in my set, and the ladies still love it)

Notalent · November 9th, 2009, 12:06 PM

"Blue Moon With Heartache" Rosanne Cash..."What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again"

sacizob · November 9th, 2009, 12:15 PM

"Under my Thumb" by the Stones literally drives them crazy. Most women hate it.

superhand · November 9th, 2009, 12:15 PM

Baby got back by Sir Mix-A-Lot

i learned the basics of this song a bit ago...this song taught me that i need to work on my palm muting...especially with my tele

brokenjoe · November 9th, 2009, 01:42 PM

There are songs that girls like, and there are songs that put girls 'in the mood.'

Some of the latter are ANYTHING by Al Green.
'Bang a Gong' by T-Rex, and 'It's Only Rock n Roll' by the Stones. Pure total sex grooves!

Palm muting a Tele is like petting a porcupine for a hack guitarist like myself.

yup, add "Stupid Girl" to that category too.

getbent · November 9th, 2009, 02:16 PM

I had a girlfriend who loved beast of burden... it made her do things.

now my day is shot.

Cunningham26 · November 9th, 2009, 02:20 PM

Maybe not one that warms their hearts so much as gets their motor running, but The Coasters- Down in Mexico has caused many a hip gyration when i've put it on the juke in bars

furrfurrfurr · November 9th, 2009, 02:25 PM

Jeff_K · November 9th, 2009, 02:26 PM

I can't believe no one has said it yet: Unchained Melody. Has to be #1.

Jahmbie · November 9th, 2009, 02:37 PM

"Honky Tonk Woman"
"Kiss" by Prince

I have literally seen women jump up from their chairs, go "WHOOOOOOOO!!!!" and RUN onto the dance floor when these are played.

Billy B. · November 9th, 2009, 02:42 PM

"Brown Eyed Girl" ? well it used to make My dear Ma dance around the house with Her eyes closed in absolute bliss,don't know if it still has the same affect on the newer models

Paul in Colorado · November 9th, 2009, 02:45 PM

"Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" by James Taylor for you acoustic strummers who want to score.

bruce123 · November 9th, 2009, 02:50 PM

Anything by Journey,

schoolie · November 9th, 2009, 02:55 PM

I like to serenade my wife with "Whole Lotta Love".

BigDaddyLH · November 9th, 2009, 03:07 PM

When I saw the subject line I first thought you meant crazy-annoyed. With my wife, I was going to suggest anything by Tom Waits, but the fact that I sing along in my best/worst Tom Waits voice may be the real reason.

I got a bad liver and a broken heart
Yeah I drunk me a river since you tore it apart

What's not to love?

castpolymer · November 9th, 2009, 05:03 PM

Pretty much any song off " Hysteria." I went to see them in Denver in 1987 ( I think ). The hot chick to dude ratio was off the scales. I have never been to a concert before of after that where the women were so crazy for a band. I am not talking like David Cassidy crazy, more like I will do anything to get backstage crazy.

telepath · November 9th, 2009, 05:11 PM

It may be different in the UK .. it often is .. ;)

Depends on age, but if you want to see the ... errr .. more experienced ladies strut with abandon, its always Mustang Sally, or Brown Eyed Girl.
They work everytime. All the time.
It's the law.

Or anything by ABBA, or most 70's Disco Diva stuff.

Some Stones will often do the trick , thankfully.
Stereophonics get the girls going here too.
Ladies of nearly all ages lust after the singer ( I chatted to him for a while once .. no tips, no offer of surplus ladies - what a damn cad ;) )

Generally .. avoid The Smiths ;)

The younger young ladies? .. well I'm jiggered if I know anymore ;)

I remember seeing a feature/documentary (a rockumentary surely? !) on Def Leppard, and they were openly marveling at the wholly relentless stream of offers they got, and that how often that Mother and Daughter would come to the gig together, and ... errr .. try for 'backstage pass' together too.

Honest hard-working Yorkshire lads - not sure I liked their stuff much, but cant blame 'em for enjoying the fruit of their labours eh? ;)

Capel · November 9th, 2009, 07:32 PM

Dunno about playing, but playing Robert Cray's Strong Persuader album was the sealer for me when bringing girlies home after a date/gig/school canteen...

dantonel · November 9th, 2009, 07:33 PM

Crash by Dave Matthews... Hands down for My Generation.

Fishin' in the Dark- Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. We nearly slaughtered it at our last show, but that didn't stop the ladies....

zimbo · November 9th, 2009, 10:08 PM

Most women still go crazy over Stairway but I really can't play that song anymore.

They threw me out of GC a long time ago.

Tele56 · November 9th, 2009, 10:17 PM

Hate to say it but "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" by Meatloaf is right up there.
