Office Christmas Parties: Sexual Healing Voted Track Most Likely to Cause Trouble
The drinks are flowing, everyone is having a great time and the music is blasting. Then, out of nowhere, Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing comes flowing through the speakers.
In any other situation it would make the room sigh and leave the dance floor, but this is the office Christmas party, a place where inhibitions are lost and the one chance to make a fool of yourself in front of your colleagues.
So naturally, you let the song (and the alcohol) carry you and end up getting a little frisky with that person who sits at the desk opposite you and who you have also never spoken a word to.
It’s all fun and games at the time, but the next day you’re getting taunted from every angle and your colleagues will bring it up at every opportunity from now until forever.
This is the precise reason why Martin Gaye’s Sexual Healing has been voted the most troublesome track for office Christmas parties.
Both men and women agreed that this was the track which should be removed from the DJs collection, making the night a lot safer for many!
Mike Taylor, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com who conducted the survey said, “At Christmas parties people are surrounded by people they work with and sometimes form close bonds. Adding to that, alcohol is flowing freely, guards are down and people relaxed and uninhibited.
“This is when the DJ is likely to influence your actions with their choice of music. It isn't surprising that Sexual Healing topped our poll; a survey by Yahoo Music back in 2006 voted it as the best song to have sex to.
“However we would warn against getting overly close to a colleague as in a recent study, over 80 per cent of employers admitted that having an office based romance would affect the career prospects of those involved.”
