songs that make me wanna do it.

Not really a "song", but Bolero, (a one movement orchestral piece, composed in the 1920s, for a ballet, by Maurice Ravel) is the classic, (at least in the early 1960s) music to set the sonic seduction environment.

I guess a "song" means there is singing, so the next one to come to mind is a Beatles song: "Why Don't We Do It In The Road"

I was in a band that played that one occasionally in the 1970s, and I remember when our part time keyboard player refused to play it at a gig, objecting to the immorality implicit in the lyrics.

Bolero has always had a rep as a seduction piece, so I bought a recording of it and played it as mood music on Date Night. My wife hated it; she said it sounded militaristic and not at all romantic. Needless to say, it didn't work for me.

Aside: Frank Zappa did a treatment of Bolero on The Best Band You've Never Heard in Your Life which defies description.
