CSS Let’s Make Love And Listen To Death From Above, from 2007 is a great record. It’s a great tune, with a good video and a great piece of vinyl – red, square, 8″. One of my very favourites from this excellent Brazilian band.
Most of all though I really like just how meta the whole thing is, I mean one band singing about bumping uglies to the music of another? Off the top of my head I can’t think of another, in the title at least.
There should be more, it got me thinking:
- Let’s have some intercourse and listen to Neil Young and Crazy Horse
- Let’s screw and listen to U2*
- Let’s get down to some spanking and listen to Aretha Franklin
- Let’s play hide the salami and listen to Gwen Stefani
- Let’s have a shag and listen to Billy Bragg
- Let’s take care of our sexual needs and listen to Lou Reed
- Let’s make the beast with two backs and listen to Fleetwood Mac
- Let’s have some push-push and listen to Kate Bush
- Let’s have a bit of the other and listen to Atom Heart Mother*
Any more, readers? I found Godspeed You! Black Emporer a challenging rhyme in this context.

**cheating slightly I know.
‘Lets listen to some bed springs and try to keep our concentration”
D minus grade, CB I know you can do better.
I just watched ‘Last Picture Show’ and that was a scene. Not my fault.
James loves DFA1979.
Let’s listen to James’ Laid and get laid?
C- for that, it’s a pass, but needs more work.
Let’s sing Hey Jude and get screwed?
Much better – I had faith Aaron.
Let’s go to bed for the whole month and listen to Ornette Coleman?
Done and done!
Love this record. It reminds me of making the beast with two backs while listening to Basement Jaxx
Yay!! Back of the net!!
If that rhyming band-referencing list ever comes out on square vinyl, I’d invest!
As for another tune…Let’s go to the sack and listen to Sabbath, Black?
You get a C grade for that Geoff, fine but I know you can do better.
Let’s get horizontal and crazy, listening to Count Basie?
I’m working on a B+ grade song title involving ‘junk’ and ‘daft punk’ – it’ll get there, it’s still in the rough copy stage!
I have faith Geoff.
Let’s go at it and break the bed while we crank us some Motorhead!
So, just your usual Saturday night then?
Actually, yeah!!
Let’s bonk and listen to Dave Van Ronk.
You win, although I will serve you this back over the net:
Let’s spend some time Netflix and chillin’ and then listen to Bob Dylan.
A+ effort Bruce.
Let’s be wild fuckers and listen to Drive-By Truckers.
Perfect!
Sorry, did you say ‘Square’?
Oh yes! Scissor Sisters did a very similar thing for their single ‘Kiss You Off’, which I don’t own yet (despite it being brilliant).
