But in either case, the relationship is somehow “so right” that it “has no chance to live,” and both versions reach the same conclusion about the future of the relationship past daybreak: “Let’s not pretend to care.”. As Foxx and the songwriter (Keith Robinson) tussle over rights, control, authorial intent, respect, and the fact that disco sucks, none of that touches on the fact that both Hudson’s smoky torch version of the song and the disco redo are startlingly blunt about the fact that the singer is demanding a no-strings-attached roll in the hay. For the comedy-music duo Garfunkel And Oates, the answer to that question is easy: “This might be strange to tell you / And I swear I’m not a whore / But there are 206 bones in my body / And I’d really like one more,” they sing in “One Night Stand,” a pointed look at the ins and outs of 21st-century sex.

Considering the song was written in 1944, the language focuses on the impropriety of a date going so late (“The neighbors might think—”), but the insinuation is clear: “Oh, baby, don’t hold out” might as well be “Hey, baby, please put out.” In recent years, finger-wagging killjoys have painted “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” as a prelude to date rape (“Say, what’s in this drink?”), but the creep factor is overstated.

The song never reaches a resolution, but as a response and using the same melody, King and Goffin wrote “Not Just Tomorrow, But Always” in 1962, which was performed by King/Goffin associate Bertell Dache. In “Dare,” a girl friend (but not his girlfriend) shows up, and the narrator spends much of the song cajoling her into staying—though they’re both committed to others. That’s the central concern of The Shirelles’ hit, which ushered in the girl-group era in 1960: “Tonight the light of love is in your eyes / But will you love me tomorrow?” The song, written by an 18-year-old Carole King for her future husband, Gerry Goffin, was surprisingly racy for the era, what with its concerns about “a lasting treasure” vs. “just a moment’s pleasure,” or more directly, “Can I believe the magic of your sighs?” Several radio stations purportedly banned the song, but that didn’t stop it from becoming the first song by an all-girl group to reach No. Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, “We’ve Got Tonight” (1978)Considering Bob Seger grew up near Detroit and wrote pub classics like “Old Time Rock And Roll” and “Night Moves,” it’s fairly safe to assume that he’s spent some time in a bar or two, watching sad, drunk loners try to find love. Heart, “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You” (1990)A melodramatic romance novel in succinct pop-song form, “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You” tells the passionate tale of a woman who spots a mysterious man standing at the side of the road in the rain (possibly because he’s a hobo?) Neither used protection, but at least “It was the biggest cock you’d ever seen” for her, and “the best shag I’d ever had” for him. The Weeknd, “Wicked Games” (2012)This anguished dirge is the rare non-country song that fully conveys the self-loathing loneliness of a one-night stand with a stranger, while deliberately leaving out any of the fun.

Some verses make it seem like our love-’em-and-leave-’em Lothario is taking off for some real purpose, like a war or something, but considering his cheesy come-on tactics (“You and me and a bottle of wine” and so on), it’s more likely that he’s just an asshole. Eagle-Eye Cherry, “Save Tonight” (1997)Falling smack in the gully of music’s historical nadir—seriously, has music ever been worse than the stretch between 1995 and 1999?—Swedish contempo-pop star Eagle-Eye Cherry’s breakout hit is an ode to candles lit, wine drunk, and love lost. The Pipettes, “One Night Stand” (2006)Don’t be fooled by the sugary feminine voices and “sha-la-la-las”: The narrator of The Pipettes’ “One Night Stand” is most definitely the predator in this fleeting hook-up scenario. The Wedding Present, “Dare” (1991)David Gedge, founding (and only original) member of The Wedding Present, frequently has sex on his mind. “And you wanted to dance, so I asked you to dance / But fear is in your soul,” croons Le Bon as he entices the object of his lust into, presumably, his pulsing pastel boudoir.

There’s a minor, notable difference to the lyrics: In Hudson’s emotionally committed performance, her lover is the one who doesn’t have time to continue the relationship past dawn, whereas in the disco cut, the singers are the ones delivering marching orders to their men and setting a deadline. Prince, “Darling Nikki” (1984)This song about an energetic evening spent in the company of a “sex fiend” the singer meets “in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine” is actually a bit of an anomaly for Purple Rain-era Prince, who, despite his hedonistic reputation, tended to wrap his come-ons and pornographic fantasies in sweeter, more romantic colors.

I want a song abotu one night stands, turning into nothign. Please stick to the dreams that come from sleep rather than the Martin Luther King variety. “Some people call it a one-night stand / But we can call it paradise.” Not that the song’s pensive video full of dancing Sri Lankan children has anything to do with any of that.

Years later, the lovers reunite accidentally and it becomes apparent the singer was using her skilled one-night lover to impregnate her because she could not get pregnant with the man she’s in love with. Merrilee Rush, “Angel Of The Morning” (1968)This hard-to-resist one-shot combines the romantic self-martyrdom of the good girl who has it bad for the guy she can’t have with the male fantasy of no-strings, one-time-only sex without repercussions, responsibilities, or guilt. After picking up her conquest with a cheesy pickup line (“Baby did it hurt when you fell from heaven?”), she leaves him alone at 4 in the morning with “not a stitch to wear,” consoling him with nothing but a blunt, sweetly harmonized “I don’t love you.” Unapologetic ’til the last, she attempts to put her shenanigans into perspective, though it’s far from comforting: “If you think that this is cruel then you should see what my friends do.”.
