Our topic of the week was spanking music. Here are your thoughts.
JJ: My "top five" songs in this category would include:
- John Mellencamp / Hurts So Good
- Pat Benatar / Hit Me with Your Best Shot
- Kim Carnes / Bette Davis Eyes with its steady, percussive beat which resembles an implement repeatedly striking flesh
- Devo / Whip It – I'd be remiss not including that one
- Little Anthony and the Imperials / Hurts So Bad to throw in an oldie to round out the list
Welcome, JJ! Those are definitely some classics.
Six of the Best: Some of my happiest years I spent in England. That's where I learned to appreciate spanking a naughty lady. So any tune that reminds me of England, such as The White Cliffs of Dover, brings back my nostalgic feelings of giving a good spanking to a naughty lady on her bare bottom.
Hermione: I have to agree with JJ. Hurts So Good is the number one spanking song for me, both because of the beat and the lyrics.
Prefectdt: The early part of play is often hard for me and until about 10 to 15 minutes into play, when I start to get my head in the right place, all is just pain with no joy. During this time there is a song, that I have memorized down to the last chord, that I am often replaying in my head. It helps bring on the "I can take it" adrenaline that helps me handle things until it is "Hello fairies" time.
The song is Be My Enemy by The Waterboys. However, I tend to think of it as Pretend To Be My Enemy :-)
Daisy: I like any song, really, with the right tempo to coincide with spanks! This, of course, depends on what sort of spanking it is! Reggae is good, in general...
Janet: There are two songs that remind me of spanking. The first is called "He hit me and It Felt Like a Kiss" It is from the Motels off of their 1982 album, All 4 One. It really doesn't continue on past that line to talk much about TTWD. But there have been times when a spanking has felt more like a kiss then a punishment.
Another song that reminds me of TTWD, not particularly about spanking is Home from Chris Daughtry. The line, "careful what you wish for cus you just might get it all, and then some you don't want" sure rings true as my HOH grows more comfortable in his role.
Poppy: All the songs that remind me of spanking are just songs that remind me of the man that spanks me.
So Kathy's Song by Simon and Garfunkel and, alas, Leaving on a Jet Plane by Peter Paul and Mary are both songs that remind me of him, being over his knee and being kissed and... everything. He has spanked me over every type of music and so no one song represents spanking.
Ms. Betty: For me, it's Irish music. The fast, upbeat tempo seems made for swinging a spoon or hairbrush.
I have a gothic band called Inkubus Sukkubus I enjoy spanking to as well.
When I'm in a darker mood, I tend to like to put on Concrete Blonde. Because I Can and Someone's Calling Me are both great scene music. But my favorite is to have a boy bound somewhere in the dark as the first beats of Bloodletting come throbbing through the speakers.
I think Inkubus Sukkubus would probably be sufficiently dark for me. : )
Scunge: I suggest Stevie Nicks' Leather and Lace. I love the line, “Give to me your leather, take from me my lace.” It just makes my butt tingle EVERY time I hear it!
R Humphries: Our personal spanking life generally has a somewhat theatrical bent to it and invariably involves food, wine, and of course music. I think that one of the all-time great spanking albums is “Greetings from LA” by the tragically late Tim Buckley (for trivia buffs, he was the natural father of the also sadly late Jeff Buckley). Apart from being an all-time classic recording, it has a gloriously decadently debauched feel to it with such tracks as Sweet Surrender, Sitting in a Hong Kong Bar, and the more obvious Make it Right that features the chorus line “She’s gonna beat me, whip me, spank me, make me feel right again.” That's not exactly my personal preference, but nonetheless, it's an absolutely fabulous album.
But I think my/our real favorites to spank to are the somewhat less dark, Wheels Start Turning by the Blues Jumpers, who sadly only ever made one album, or the big band swing sounds of albums like Satin Doll by Michael Maxwell and his Orchestra. We enjoy swing, jazz, be-bop, good food, some iced bubbles, and some damn good spanking fun. Life doesn’t get much better than that .
S.N.M.: Nope. Even songs ABOUT spanking don't really do it for me. I prefer to let my mind and body come up with their own mood-setters.
A. Luirker: For me, it's Under My Thumb by the Rolling Stones. The lyrics and the beat remind me of spanking every time! I have often wondered about Jagger because he has a few other songs that refer to spanking. Brown Sugar includes the line "hear him whip the women just around midnight" and Jumpin' Jack Flash lyrics state, "I was schooled with a strap across my back."
The song Sexyback by Justin Timberlake has the line "I'll let you whip me if I misbehave." It makes me chuckle quietly to myself.
Kia: Like A. Luirker, I often giggle a little whenever I hear "Sexyback."
Though, for me, the song most strongly connected with spanking is Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson, especially the line, "all the violent sweet perfect words that you said." I can't help but smile to myself every time I hear it.
Welcome, Kia!
Jean Marie: I've never had music playing when I've been spanked, either in play or for punishment. I quite simply LOVE the sound of his bare hand on my bared bottom! Variations on that theme by his using implements only up the ante - the echoing crack of a wooden paddle, the reassuring "thwap" of leather, the "swish/snick" of the cane. No music could match such an evocative symphony for me.
Larken: John Mellencamp has another song that always reminds me of spanking, and that's The Authority Song. He sings, “I fight authority, authority always wins…” Why does authority always win? Because authority carries a paddle. :-)
And for some reason, Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun makes me think of spanking, too. I wonder why that is? ;-)
Bonnie-Jo: Music can inspire many things, but music that inspires spanking? Got to be the best.
I agree about Devo's Whip It. If you look it up on YouTube, there are some exceptionally weird videos that go with that song. Pat Benatar's Hit Me with Your Best Shot is definitely on the list too.
I think that the music you've been spanked to (which will differ from top to top) will without fail bring back spanko thoughts/desires. Thus, when I listen to Drummer Boy next Christmas, I'm going to be remembering a certain ironic paddling I received.
Anon: We always use music for spanking. The lyrics and tempos of some songs constitute handy scenarios. Here are some examples:
- Bobby Vee / The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
- Jennifer Warnes and Leonard Cohen / Joan of Arc – We find this one good for long slow canings
- Dovells / You Can't Sit Down – This one needs no explanation
- John Leyton / I'll Cut Your Tail Off – Explicit OTK reference in this one
- Florence +The Machine / Drumming Song – Sweeter than heaven, hotter than hell
- Pearl Bailey / Beat Out That Rhythm On A Drum - One big arse in all the world
- Sibry / The Spank Song - We might use this sometime
Bonnie: Here are a few favorite inspirations:
- John Mellencamp (again) / Jack and Diane – Lots of smacking sounds and an actual spanking in the video
- Sir Mix-a-Lot / I like Big Butts – Randy's theme song
- Madonna / Hanky Panky – I completely agree
- Ian Dury / Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick - Hit me, hit me, hit me!
- The Safaris / Wipeout – Those drums...
Thanks, everyone for tuning in!
