Subject: RE: Seduction songs
It's arguable (but I'm presenting no evidence) that Flanders and Swann provided some inspiration for Tom Lehrer, but the latter had a satirical bite where the other two were more whimsical; I think you'd rather like their repertoire, PoppaGator.

JennieG and Lizzie are right. Although a good singer/muso may 'arouse' in a general sense, the lady has to feel that all your sense is directed to her for your ability to have any seductive effect. And if she reckons you're worth it, almost any song sung to her will tug her heart strings. For a while.

Happy Valentine's Day to you all
