“Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir? [note] Do you want to sleep with me tonight? Made ridiculous by the fact that French doesn't actually use 'sleep with' as a euphemism for sex.”
Not quite accurate. Coucher means ‘lay (something) down’; se coucher means ‘lay oneself down’, i.e., ‘lie down’ (which suggests sleeping, of course, but is not quite a synonym). But I've only ever heard coucher, without an object, in the sexy sense. In fact I have a distinct memory of hearing a native French-speaker say coucher avec une femme (lie with a woman).

So the point of this music trope is merely songs about wanting to have sex with a person???
That seems like a pretty hugely broad topic for a trope, as the description pointed out.
Also, I'm not sure that the (admittedly hilarious) Family Guy scene is the best trope namer.
As a more mature take - there's Peter Cetera and Crystal Bernard's "Forever Tonight" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPqPpng9Fok
Very much more describing a tender, passionate night between 2 adults deeply in love..
Possibly add the Isley Brothers's "It's Your Thing" in the Pop category. The Other Wiki states the the lyrics are a response to Motown producer Barry Gordy being excessively controlling and the band's decision to go their own way. But if the "thing" in the lyrics is interpreted as part of the female anatomy...

Hi there.
I have just read this trope page, and being from the Philippines, there is this one particular song that is pretty recent and pretty much popular here, entitled "Biglang Liko" ("Sudden Turn", a loose translation I thought of).
I was thinking of putting it here, but I have no idea what genre it is, me not being a music buff and all. Since the entire freakin' song is basically thinly-veiled references to sex, I feel I must include it here.
Link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NhD0LFhxanU#at=23
Here are the lyrics (plus a rough translation I could make):
Original (Tagalog) lyrics:
Yiee! tara, sumama ka sa akin Alam mo na dadalhin kita kung saan mo gusto
Ang pawis ko'y tumatagaktak Sa bilis may pumapalakpak Abutin natin ang langit ibuka ang pak-pak Langhapin ang halimuyak ng mga bulaklak
Ako ay paru-paro Nakadapo sa iyong damo Sa liwanag ang ganda mo Andaming nabibighaning gamo-gamo
Yakapin mo ako habang atin ang gabi Kasi mundo natin ay laging salisi Pag ika'y nasa baba ako ay nasa taas Sa tuwing ikaw ay darating ako ay lalabas
Wag ka masyadong marahas Sige lng isigaw mo pa ng malakas Ilagay mo sa tono Di kita tinatanong pero'y sagot mo oo oo oo oo
Hintayin mo ako Malapit na ako sabay na tayo Papunta na ko nasan ka na ba? Kung ako sayo sumama ka na, tara
Tara tara sumama ka sa akin At hawakan ang aking kamay Tayo ay maglalakbay Patungo sa lugar kung saan tayo lang ang may alam
Tara tara sumama ka sa akin At hawakan ang aking kamay Tayo ay maglalakbay (oooohh) Patungo sa lugar kung saan tayo lamang ang laman
Pinto ay sarado buksan ang kandado Talian ang aso papasukin mo na ako Meron akong regalo hindi mo malilimutan Matagal ko tong pinagipunan
Pahiram ng upuan para aking patungan Ng aking dala dala na aking ng makunan Para may alaala ka sa pagalis mo Panuorin kung sakali'y ako ay mamimiss mo
Tayo na magsabay, magkamay Kahit na pagkain ay hindi sa plato nakalagay Masarap ba? dyan ako sanay Kaya pala mga sagot mo sa akin ay panay
Oo oo hintayin mo ko Malapit na ako sabay na tayo Papunta na ako, nasan ka na ba? Kung ako sayo sumama ka na
Tara tara sumama ka sa akin At hawakan ang aking kamay Tayo ay maglalakbay Patungo sa lugar kung saan tayo lang ang may alam
Tara tara sumama ka sa akin At hawakan ang aking kamay Tayo ay maglalakbay Patungo sa lugar kung saan tayo lamang ang laman
Oh, nilambing mo na maghapon At dinilaan ang muka mo Nangangahulugan hindi lahat Ng hinihimas ay umaamo
Aso't pusa nagkalmutan Nagaway nakauntugan Bagong taon ba ngaun? Bat ganun may nakakaputukan
Sumibak ng kahoy para panggatong Para may apoy tayo maghapon Sakto ah, may sweldo pa ako Magwwithdraw muna ko sa banko
Oo oo hintayin mo ko Malapit na ako sabay na tayo Papunta na ako, nasan ka na ba? Kung ako sayo sumama ka na
Tara tara sumama ka sa akin At hawakan ang aking kamay Tayo ay maglalakbay Patungo sa lugar kung saan tayo lang ang may alam
Tara tara sumama ka sa akin At hawakan ang aking kamay Tayo ay maglalakbay Patungo sa lugar kung saan tayo lamang ang laman
Diretso lng biglang liko
Rough transcription:
Yeah! Let's go, come with me You know I'll bring you where you'd like to
My sweat is flowing So fast, there are clapping Let's reach the skies, open (your) wings Smell the fragrance of the flowers
I am a butterfly Perched atop your grass The radiance of your beauty Attracts a lot of moths
Embrace me while we own the night Because our world is always alternating If you're below, then I'm above Whenever you come by, I come out
Don't be so rough Go ahead, scream out loud Put it in rhythm I'm not asking you but you keep saying "Yes, yes, yes, yes..."
Wait for me I'm coming close, let's go together I'm already close; Where are you? If I were you, come with me, let's go
Let's go, let's go, come with me And hold my hand Together, we will go (Ooooh) To a place where the two of us are alone
The door is closed, open the lock Tie the dog, let me in I have a gift that you won't forget I have saved up for it for some time
I'll borrow a chair to set upon Whatever I could capture [NOTE: it's a camera, probably] So that you'll have a reminder when you leave Something to watch when you miss me
Let's go together, use our hands Even if the food's not on the plate Is it good? That's what I'm good at And that's why your answer is...
Yes, yes, wait for me I'm coming close, let's go together I'm already close; Where are you? If I were you, come with me, let's go
Let's go, let's go, come with me And hold my hand Together, we will go To a place that only the both of us know
Let's go, let's go, come with me And hold my hand Together, we will go To a place where the two of us are alone
Oh, you caressed [it] the entire day And [it] licked your face Meaning that not all That are being petted become tamed
A dogs, a cat, scratched each other Fought each other, bumped heads with each other Is it New Year's today? If so, why are there fireworks?
Chop some wood to use as fuel So that we have a fire the whole day Perfect! I still have money I'll go withdraw some at the bank
Yes, yes, wait for me I'm coming close, let's go together I'm already close; Where are you? If I were you, come with me, let's go
Let's go, let's go, come with me And hold my hand Together, we will go To a place that only the both of us know
Let's go, let's go, come with me And hold my hand Together, we will go To a place where the two of us are alone
Keep going straight (Sudden turn...)
Anyway, thanks for any help on this one.
