those fleeting moments of nocturnal
passion these are the songs that
perfectly capture the experience welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
one-night-stand songs
for this list we’re focusing
specifically on musical compositions
with a one night stand as the central
narrative our chosen entries are more
about the brief act of hooking up rather
than a lasting sense of romance
[Music]
Oh
number ten all I want to do is make love
to you heart
[Music]
evocative of spontaneous decision-making
and love at first sight this early 90
song blurs the line between fantasy and
specific sexual intent written by ac/dc
and Def Leppard producer Mutt Lange the
tracks overt message was reportedly a
cause of concern for heart
[Music]
even so the inherent romance brilliantly
glides over the subtext for most of the
production with the narrator expressing
a declarative statement about her plans
for the evening
in the end however the truth comes to
light as the unknown hitchhiker learns
the disturbing truth behind the hotel
room tryst incidentally the seemingly
romantic story actually highlights a
disturbing premeditated act
[Music]
number nine goodbye stranger Supertramp
good morning yesterday
I was up the whole dome tinged with a
carefree set of self reflexive lyrics
this song demonstrates the effectiveness
of an open dialogue for the first part
of goodbye stranger the subjects
troubadour ways are established as
one-night-stands make him feel young
plus he must definitely enjoy the act of
sexual intercourse
[Music]
and once Rick Davies hits a falsetto for
the sand off course the narrator reveals
himself to be a compromising lover
willing to communicate about the
after-effects of one-night stands
in essence supertramps goodbye stranger
represents the antithesis of contrived
pillow talk
[Music]
number eight blame Calvin Harris
featuring John Newman campus even keep
awaken fat the woman next to me while
this electro collaboration top Dan
starts in the UK and United States the
powerhouse course doesn’t necessarily
reflect good life advice
with John Newman serving up their
razor-sharp vocals co-written by his
brother James
the narrator takes a laksa days achill
approach to his one-night stand she
needed him to talk so blame out on the
nine
like so many doomed couples
responsibility to a committed
relationship takes a backseat to sexual
healing and in the style of Yolo this
apologetic track relies heavily on
living in the moment and conveying a
youthful ignorance to lasting
consequences
[Music]
number seven tonight’s I’m lovin you
Enrique Iglesias featuring ludacris and
DJ Frankie I know you depending on which
version one listens to dirty or clean
the message might be a little different
but the core idea remains the same
excuse me Ricky Iglesias or at least the
narrator fully expects a one-night stand
detailing the confusion that can easily
derail such an experience the lyrics
behold a blunt message yet it’s one that
could easily be interpreted as offensive
in real-life situations excuse me
[Music]
but for club banger purposes the song
perfectly execute a sexual ideal that
many can relate to and with Ludacris
providing assistance with a pronounced
verse the track exudes a bit more edge
than most enrique love songs may not be
room but tonight 11 you
number six one-night-stand keri hilson
featuring Chris Brown tell me how you
like it babe do you wanna fast as slow
as a musical example of the feelings
that arise after a positive late-night
escapades this track figuratively takes
the listener inside the bedroom
with a sexually charged conversation and
folding by way of Keri Hilson and Chris
Brown the subject brings to light the
excitement involved with the act itself
and with the RB aesthetic adding to the
sensuality the impassioned vocals
provide even more intensity to the
declarative course
[Music]
whereas many songs address the morning
after one night scent is all about the
act of hooking up
[Music]
[Music]
number five last name Carrie Underwood a
gasser a little bit that is performed by
an American Idol here’s a song which
reminds that even well-mannered
individuals make poor decisions in this
case however the female subject makes a
big one
Oh
aim even so the sprawling vocals of
Carrie Underwood offer a fresh take on a
familiar concept in country music in
2008 last name appealed to a millennial
demographic helping the singer cross
over from the country genre into the
realm of pop music
lyrically the song references the usual
biggest topics of drinking and
late-night love yet it’s still an
effective track given the dynamics of
Underwood’s performance
number four take me home tonight Eddie
Money
[Music]
just cheaper
undeniably a timeless 80’s production a
proper understanding of its context adds
an extra layer of depth while the
titular chorus representing a feeling
that both men and women can identify
with its Ronnie Spector his vocal hook
lifted from her 1963 classic be my baby
that pulls us in
[Music]
and given the emotive essence of the
lyrics that contrasts the cliched norms
of male masculinity take me home tonight
remains pertinent decades after its
release all in all it’s a beloved retro
hit from a more innocent time
[Music]
number three get lucky Daft Punk
featuring Pharrell Williams like the
legend of the things up ends with
beginnings perhaps the ultimate
one-night stand song of the YouTube era
this catchy number is both organic and
addictive complementing the pervading
retro funk the lyrics as sung by
Pharrell Williams touch on universal
themes but it’s the repetitive chorus
that reinforces the central idea she’s
up all night to the Sun I’m up all night
to get some she’s up all night for good
fun I’m up all night to get by staying
away from explicitly detailing a
one-night stand and conveying more of a
playful vibe get lucky is one of those
timeless productions that transcends the
lyrical message what is just some
feeling you won’t leave I’m with it but
when you get right down to it the song
is about the act of hooking up making no
complaints about those who stay up late
to have a little fun we’re up all night
to get lucky we’re up all night to get
lucky we’re up all night to get lucky
Mexican lucky number two angel of the
morning juice Newton Street to find your
hand but if my love can’t find your
although one-night stands are typically
associated with immaturity or loneliness
this enduring cover of IDI sans 1968
original beholds a certain sense of
individuality and self-awareness
[Music]
connecting the sacred and the profane
the subject of angel in the morning
refuses to get caught up in mind games
even if the heartbreaking chorus
reflects a major emotional boy
[Music]
as a poignant example of brilliant
songwriting the song beautifully covers
the essentials of a one-night stand and
the inevitable feelings of having
unanswered questions in theory one may
understand why the hook-up transpired
but no one can predict the mindset of
the other in that regard angel of the
morning highlights a selfish but
understandable point of view
[Music]
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
Oh
[Music]
won’t you stay
[Music]
number one you shook me all night long
ac/dc despite the repeated references to
gender in the opening lyrics this song
has long inspired both men and women to
shout out the iconic course
fueled by metaphor after metaphor and
Bryan Johnson’s unmistakable voice you
shook me all night long is so devilish
and fun that one can easily lose sight
of the narrator’s sexual exploits it’s a
one night stand song that connects with
the average listener through energy
alone and just like a modern hit such as
get lucky the ac/dc classic exudes
positive vibes and a most polarizing
topic of discussion
[Music]
