My favourite body part song is almost certainly Story in Your Eyes by the Moody Blues, which everybody surely knows. Eyes of a New York Woman by B. J. Thomas is pretty good. But here's Mouth of an Angel by Two People, from the '80s:

10 Modern Day Rolling Stone Magazine Comments About Albums That I Actually Agree With: 1. Destroyer: Kiss (1976) "This is a ridiculously over the top album that just gets better with age". 2. Going To A Go-Go: The Miracles (1965) "Motown at its most sexy and debonair. Smokey Robinson works his sweeping soul falsetto over unbelievably sad ballads. Even obscurities such as "Choosey Beggar" are top-notch". 3. The Beach Boys Today!: The Beach Boys (1965) "The Beach Boys were still into cars, girls, and surfboards, but Brian Wilson was already a genius." 4. Court And Spark: Joni Mitchell (1974) "Mitchell settles into a folk-pop jazz groove that remains a landmark of breezy sophistication". 5. Let It Bleed: The Rolling Stones (1969) "The entire album burns with apocalyptic cohesion." 6. Rumours: Fleetwood Mac (1977) "Here, Fleetwood Mac turned private turmoil into gleaming and melodic public art. The group's catchy exposes, produced with California-sunshine polish, touched a nerve: Rumours became the sixth best-selling album of all time". 7. Thriller: Michael Jackson (1982) "It is hard now to separate the wonder of 'Thriller' from its commercial stature amidst Jackson's current tabloid celebrity. But there was a time when he was truly the King of Pop. This is it." 8. Kind Of Blue: Miles Davis (1959) "This painterly masterpiece is one of the most important and popular albums in Jazz. It was a revolution all its own. Miles turned his back on standard chord progressions, using modal scales as a starting point for composition and improvisation, breaking new ground with warmth, subtlety and understatement in the thick of hard bop." 9. Exile On Main St: The Rolling Stones (1972) "A dirty whirlwind of blues and boogie". 10. What's Going On: Marvin Gaye (1971) "Producing the album amidst a haze of marijuana smoke, Gaye made one intuitively brilliant decision after another - from letting the tapes roll as his friends mingled and chatted, to recording the rehearsal exercises of saxophonist Eli Fountain. When Fountain explained that he had just been goofing around, Gaye replied, 'Well, you goof exquisitely". And yet people, sometimes myself included, think Rolling Stone is incapable of good taste.
10 Reasons Why "Revolution 9" is brilliant: 1. The intro 2. It is experimental. 3. It irks people (even members of John's band!) 4. It is more engaging on repeat listens 5. The Watusi...the twist... 6. El Dorado 7. The brilliant cut and paste merging of fans and early Beatlemania fragments with "the now". 8. It works as an 8 minute "reprise" of the puzzle that is "The White Album". 9. Most think it is pointless indulgence (Yes, this is why it is great). 10. It is very "1968". Have I mentioned its greatest attribute? That it irks people?
