#9- Stillness of the Night (1982)
Okay first of all SEVERELY underrated song, second of all it's the edgy lyrics and the vibe of a mystical race against time that do it for this one 6.9/10 very sexy of kevin to go and do that
#8- 157 Riverside Avenue (1971)
OH FUCK YEAH NEAL. NEAL. GODDAMN. Try listening to the first 10 seconds and tell me it doesn't belong on this list. Go ahead. I dare you. This one goes without saying- "'can I make love to you?' we said '157 Riverside Avenue'" 7/10 sexy jazzy piano is sexy
#7- Like You Do (1972)
this one makes me wanna S T R U T. "i've seen women who-" DOESN'T MATTER COS NONE OF THEM AIN'T ME. the sexy sass is unparalleled it's almost a goddman mystery who wrote it 7.2/10 Gary has never seen a woman
#6- Ridin' the Storm Out (1973)
very sexy of Neal yet again to go and do that with his hands also Gary too I actually had this at #7 but had to move it up a spot bc i came to my senses 7.6/10 lyrics could be sexier
#5- Gotta Feel More (1984)

The only truly 100% sexy song off Hi Infidelity fite me 9/10 makes me wanna give someone a lap dance iykyk
#2- Back On the Road Again (1979)
Try listening to the first 10 seconds of this song and tell me it doesn't deserve this spot I'll wait. Very sexy of Bruce to go and do this "please don't hate me mama,,, for what I'm about to do" LIKE OOHOHH DAMN BRUCIE PIE'S SECRETLY A BAD BOY NOW???? 9.8/10 i'm on my WAY.
#1- Variety Tonight (1987)

kevin and gary are DEFINITELY high and it’s hilarious!
