Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band dropped the single “Night Moves” in December of 1976.

The track undoubtedly helped secure Seger’s star status coming off of the success of Live Bullet, but the track also remains one of the best songs about, for lack of a better term, getting busy.

In honor of the anniversary of “Night Moves,” here are ten tracks about getting some.

Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - "Night Moves"

An ode to young lust and hooking up in a car. What's not to love?!


Rolling Stones - "Let's Spend The Night Together"

Considering how much the sexual content in songs has changed over the decades, it's amazing looking back at just how controversial this Stones classic was when it was first released.


Led Zeppelin - "Whole Lotta Love"

Zeppelin were never ones for sexual subtlety. In fact, "Whole Lotta Love" is just another example of their greatness when they cut out the euphemisms and just got straight to the point.


T. Rex - "Bang a Gong (Get It On)"

If you had to pick just one song to sum up lusty glam goodness, it would be hard to argue against this T. Rex hit.


Bad Company - "Feel Like Making Love"

Paul Rodgers doesn't waste any time cutting to the chase on this Bad Company track.


AC/DC - "You Shook Me All Night Long"

It's no mystery that this AC/DC song is one of the best hard rock songs of all time, but one mystery I'd like to solve is what do American thighs look like exactly. Perhaps, I'm looking too far into this and it's just a brilliant rhyme.


Van Halen - "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love"

"You may have all that you want to honey/ But I got somethin' you need/Oh yeah." Diamond Dave wasn't wasting time on this classic Van Halen track.


Rod Stewart - "Tonight's The Night"

With lyrics like, "Spread your wings and let me come inside," you have to wonder just how many people were conceived to this song.


Def Leppard - "Pour Some Sugar On Me"

I'm still not sure what the cheeky meaning behind "Do you take sugar? One lump or two?" is, but that hasn't taken away any of the fun lust of this track over the years.


Bruce Springsteen - "I'm On Fire"

You want to know what's on fire after listening to this song? My loins!
