What covers make the women swoon?

I don't think they still call it "swoon" anymore, I hear "Body Rush" is what the kids on their interwebs are going for these days. Heh! I asked my closest female and she told me. Aerosmith's version of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" Go figger?
 
Do you mean to play with your band to get a positive reaction from women in the audience or just play for your woman at home or something like that? Seems most of these mentioned already, if played at a gig, would illicit smoke and bathroom breaks (YMMV)
 
In my first band (80's hair band), we played "Once Bitten Twice Shy" WITHOUT keys! Everyone in the band hated that song. So, when it came time to drop songs, that was the first one on the block. But, I mentioned how the girls really liked and and would always get them going, and it took about 1/2 a second and it was back in the set.

I still hate that song...:)
 
If they are 25+, then "Pour Some Sugar On Me" or "She's My Cherry Pie" will get them doing the drunken-purse-on-one-shoulder-holding-my-drink-in-the-other-hand-swaying-my-hips-while-looking-at-the-floor dance, if that's what you're looking for.

edit: "my" meaning it's from the point of view of the woman. Uh, yeah.
 
Good one, Matt! hahaha
