List of songs about sex and seduction
Listcruft. Apart from there being plenty of songs about seduction (maybe a better cat), if the list compiler(s) included Heavy Metal, punk or rap songs, this list would be unmaintainable. I'm thinking of the back catalogue of groups like NWA, Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Guns n' Roses etc etc MacRusgail 22:54, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You'd have to list 3/4 of the Stones' stuff, just to start. Delete.  A2Kafir 23:05, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep, you don't have to list ALL of the Stones stuff, just a few notable examples. Kappa 01:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unmaintainable list, unverifiable criteria &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 02:08, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete; the topic is way too broad for an article. Listing "just a few notable examples" is unlikely to happen; some people try to add every relevant song to a "list of songs", and it would be unreasonable to try to stop them. --Metropolitan90 02:37, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Most blues and rock songs would qualify, as well as numerous operatic arias. --JJay 15:51, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * And some folk songs too, like a whole book of Robert Burns' work. As I say above, "songs about seduction" might not be so bad (although there are many, many of them, by every single boy band), but sex? I think my record collection as a teenager was at least half sex songs! And the list doesn't even mention "MV" by Nirvana. --MacRusgail 16:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Seduction seems way too broad, subjective and really can't be separated from sex. Take Satisfaction by the Stones; is it about sex, seduction, advertising, all three? --JJay 16:24, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Preposterous listcruft, vastly overbroad, arbitrary criteria, unmaintainable... what else? MCB 21:46, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Overbroad. Uninteresting. Unencyclopedic. Could easily includes songs back to the turn of the century ("Come away with me Lucille/In my merry Oldsmobile ... You can go as far as you like with me in my merry Oldsmobile."). "Only A Bird in a Gilded Cage..." "My Mother Was a Lady..." "I Love I Love I Love My Wife But Oh You Kid..." Actually, a list of songs that are not about sex and seduction would probably be more selective. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:22, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Unmaintainable list, with criteria and POV problems also. Xoloz 03:14, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Dpbsmith and other non-Keep votes. Barno 18:38, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. An interesting idea, but as a list it just won't do. However, perhaps an article that doesn't pretend to be exhaustive, covering some of the history of sex and seduction in popular music would be nice, if it doesn't exist already. --Jacquelyn Marie 03:45, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
