... but I need your input to fill it out. The concept is: the most misguided attempt at a gettin'-it-on mix ever. As in, the songs are all about the topic of gettin' it on or persuading someone to get it on, but they are not actually the sort of songs that would ever put someone in the mood to get it on.
The only examples I have so far are Bloodhound Gang's "The Bad Touch" (aka "that Discovery Channel song") and Jimmy Buffet's "Why Don't We Get Drunk" ("...and screw"). But I'm sure there are more. A possible addition is Flight of the Conchords' "Business Time," but I am hesitant there because 1) it is more intentionally ironic, insofar as it is trying very hard to be an unsexy parody of sexy music, and 2) as such it actually sounds kind of sexy if you blur your ears a bit and don't listen to the lyrics. Whereas the first two don't have a trace of the sexy sound, even though the lyrics are quite pro-gettin' it on.
Other suggestions?

I think Beck's "Debra" would be perfect for this ("I wanna get with you.... oh, and your sister--I think her name's Debra"). It could be construed as moderately sexy if you're not listening too closely, but I think you may need to relax that requirement a little bit if you want to fill an entire, um, "tape."
I'll keep thinking about this.
oh, man. this is an awesome question. "debra" was a good call, and I would add the beatles' "why don't we do it in the road" for a touch of shamelessness, as well as "I touch myself" for...misguided shamelessness? and how about "baby got back" and possibly kelis' "milkshake" as an unsuccessful attempt to reassure the lady that you don't mind a little extra junk in the trunk (or engine, I guess)? "you sexy thing" by hot chocolate is probably another mood-killer...
