I've never made a mix tape for any purpose
being the typical scottish bloke that I am, but I have to admit I can see the benefits to them...... especially "bedroom music". A few years back, whilst wallpapering the spare room if I remember correctly, me and the ex missus became..... slightly sidetracked. We quickly made our way to our bedroom, leaving the radio playing. Things quickly became steamy, and it looked like the spare room would have to wait...... but the radio had other ideas. It started in.......... "Ground control to major Tom......." If ever there has been an anti sexy-time song written, that is it. Within a minute we were both in hysterical fits of laughter..... the radio got switched off after that. To this day I still hear the lyrics as "take your protein pills and put your helmet in...."

@baw bag
One that threw me off my thrust was, unusually, by Barry White. Hit shuffle by mistake on a CD before getting down to business and it was his version of "Lowrider" that began blaring. The tune reminds me of the old marmite ad apart from anything else.
