Spotify study reveals that one in three people can name a song that they consider to be better than sex.
According to the Spotify website, Spotify commissioned Dr. Daniel Mullensiefen, music psychologist from the Goldsmiths University of London, to conduct a study involving the relationship between music and sex.
2,000 music fans from the United Kingdom between the ages of 18 and 91 were surveyed.
The survey revealed that one of three people can name a song that they consider to be better than sex.
The song that was voted the number one song that is better than sex is titled “Bohemian Rhapsody” by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group Queen.
The top five songs that was voted better than sex are:
- Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody
- Kings of Leon – Sex On Fire
- Robbie Williams – Angela
- Meatloaf – Bat Out of Hell
- Bon Jovi – Living On a Prayer
Any song from the soundtrack of the film “Dirty Dancing” tops the list of best songs to play during sex.
The top five songs that were voted to be the best songs to play during sex are:
- Any song from the “Dirty Dancing” film soundtrack
- Marvin Gaye – Sexual Healing
- Ravel – Bolero
- Berlin – Take My Breath Away
- Any song from singer Barry White
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer-songwriter Marvin Gaye tops the list of the best songs to get in the mood for sex and best songs to play during a romantic dinner.
The top five songs that were voted to be the best songs to get in the mood for sex are:
- Marvin Gaye – Sexual Healing
- Marvin Gaye – Let’s Get It On
- Any song from singer Barry White
- Serge Gainsbourg – Je T’aime

The Top five songs that were voted to be best to play during a romantic dinner are:

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group ABBA tops the list of best songs to flirt to on the dance floor.
The top five songs that were voted to be best to flirt on the dance floor are:
- ABBA – Dancing Queen
- Chris de Burgh – Lady In Red
- LMFAO – Sexy and I Know It
- Any song from the “Dirty Dancing” film soundtrack
- Rod Stewart – Do You Think I’m Sexy
Also, 40 percent of the people surveyed claimed that they find music to be more sexually stimulating than touch during sex.
The results found that men are more likely to compromise their music taste for a date. People who listen to punk and metal are even more likely to compromise with their taste in music.
Mullenseifen doesn’t find the results about music being more arousing in the bedroom surprising.
“It’s no surprise that so many respondents claimed to find music more arousing in the bedroom,” said Mullenseifen about the results yielded in the study.
Kinesiology major Roberto Silva found the fact that any song from the “Dirty Dancing” film soundtrack was voted to be the best song to play during sex comedic.
“I don’t know anybody my age that gets turned on by ‘My Endless Love’,” said Silva.
Silva also added that there is no song he considers to be better than sex.
Music major Saveon Simon agrees with the fact that Gaye topped the list of best songs to play during sex and best songs to play during a romantic dinner.
“I can believe that. Any of the Motown, old school music can get you in the mood,” said Simon.
Mullensiefen is the Goldsmiths University of London co-director of the Master Program in Music, Mind, and Brain as well as senior lecturer in the psychology department.
He believes that even though some UK pop hits were favorites in the study, many of the results yielded would reflect those in the Unites States if the study is conducted.
