Now That's What I Call Literotica 2023 (Lit Mixtape)

[TheRedChamber]

The Game

The game here is simple. Let's put together the ultimate Literotica Mix tape. One song for each category. Here is the list of the 32 categories on Literotica. As suggestions are made, I'll update the list. When we have two or more competing songs, I'll put it up for discussion but ultimate choice resides with me (the mix master). For some categories which are not naturally themic, I've added extra rules.

Edit 1 - I've added some suggestions, but for some reason my browser isn't showing YouTube previews. If your choices aren't there, it's not because I've slighted or forgotten you, I just cant see some of the entries at the moment.

Mix Tape Rules
1. No artist shall be features on the mixtape twice. This includes band members who've later gone solo. You can suggest a second song, but it will have to force out the previous suggestion. So for example, if we want 'Walk on the Wildside' by Lou Reed, we'll have to ditch the Velvet Underground.
2. Given the nature of the game, I'm expecting an eclectic selection, but once the list starts to come together, we'll need to think about tone and continuity. For these purposes we'll assume we're using vinyl/C90's where one side is 45 minutes long and arrange similar songs together.
3. The song suggested must fully embrace the category chosen - it's not enough to have a couple of redolent lines.
4. Lit rules apply to songs. No 'She was just seventeen' here thank you...


EDIT: Oh and obviously include a YouTube link to your suggested songs to make things easier for everyone (Even if everyone knows the song, we still want to hear it in the moment)

My nomination for I/T:

 

[ElectricBlue]

Anal: Back Door Man - The Doors
So obvious, the others will take more thought.

Your Rule 1 sucks. Just saying. You've just eliminated John Cale from consideration, with that example. Philistine.

 

[StillStunned]

Transgender and Crossdressing:

Your Rule 1 sucks. Just saying. You've just eliminated John Cale from consideration, with that example. Philistine.

It's not my rule 1. It's the universal law of mix tapes.

Go ahead and name the songs, but in the final mix there can only be one song by an artist.

Link your choices...

If you've never seen an orchestra make love to a piece of music, my nomination for Erotic Couplings:

I know it's an obvious cliché, but it so works for the category. Or maybe Romance. They favor slow burns in Romance.

 

[StillStunned]

Toys & Masturbation:

 

[Smuttyandfun]

Romance - Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman? - Bryan Adams

 

[StillStunned]

I know plenty of people will say "Every Breath You Take", but for Exhibitionist & Voyeur I prefer this one:

 

[StillStunned]

For Erotic Horror, but mostly based on the video (remember when Ian McKellen wasn't a household name?):

 

[StillStunned]

Hello? Is anyone else playing?

For Mind Control:

 

[TheRedChamber]

(remember when Ian McKellen wasn't a household name?)

British, and a good forty years younger than Sir Ian, so no not really. Regardless, I'd never seen this video before so thank you.

 

[TheRedChamber]

Give 'em a chance. Most British will be having a Sunday lie in and a lot of America has just gone to bed.

To reiterate, it's not first come first served, people will be able to put up alternatives in each category.

 

[StillStunned]

Is this one better than Loving Wives deserves? An amazing song, and a video with Alan Rickman and the stunning Sharleen Spiteri:

 

[StillStunned]

Edited: I just remembered the "only one song per artist" rule. Oh well, sorry not sorry.

Non-Erotic, for obvious reasons:

 

[MrPixel]

Non-consent/reluctance?

 

[StillStunned]

A twofer! Sci-Fi and Mind Control. Kids, look beyond the cheesy video and learn why the 80s were the best time to be alive.

 

[StillStunned]

Another candidate for Transgender/Crossdressing:

 

[AlinaX]

For Nonhumans there will be lots, but here are a couple of obvious choices:

 

[SimonDoom]

Toys and Masturbation -- Cyndi Lauper, She Bop

 

[SimonDoom]

Mature: Fountains of Wayne, Stacy's Mom

 

[Titsandclits]

BDSM? Madonna, Hanky Panky

 

[SimonDoom]

Humor and Satire: Detachable Penis by King Missile

 

[jsmiam]

Anal: Clarence Carter, back door Santa.

With bonus points for the 45 in the photo saying “plug side.” More bonus points for being appropriately seasonal. FYI there’s a line in his biggest hit, Strokin’, “if my stuff ain’t tight enough you can stick it in my ass,” so even more bonus points for his dedication to the topic!

 

[lovecraft68]

BDSM:

Whore by in this moment

Also

Erotica by Madonna...not my type of music, but the lyrics fit. "I don't think you know what pain is"
