O

n 3BOPS, we are totally dedicated to keeping things L-I-T-E! Similar to 5ive Songs, there’s a topic and a short blurb, only with THREE songs instead of FIVE.  Yes, it’s a playlist, but it’s a miniature playlist that shouldn’t take much time to consume.  On the 62nd edition of 3BOPS (2021), we select three awesome songs that are associated with SEX FOR BREAKFAST.

1. Mike Taveira, “Sex for Breakfast”

Ft. Allie X

🎵 “Sex for Breakfast” • 🏷 Mike Taveira • 📅 2021

Mike Taveira, "Sex for Breakfast" [📷: Mike Taveira]🎙 Mike Taveira delivers a delicious, titillating pop single with 🎵 “Sex for Breakfast”.  While he does awesome getting us ‘hot and bothered,’ so does his partner in crime, featured guest 🎙 Allie X (Alexandra Hughes). “Sex for Breakfast” is as good as advertised featuring slick production by 🎛 Sky Cocco and 🎛 Jordan Palmer ‘put in work.’  Cocco is also credited as a writer alongside Taveira, Hughes, and 🎼✍ Paul Mauer.

Vocally, Mike sings smoothly, showcasing a marvelous tone.  Even so, that doesn’t keep him from delivering a bite, early on, mind you: “How the fuck can we be friends when all we wanna do is / Fuck it if it happens, we already do it.” Woo! Following those eyebrow raising bombs, Taveira backs off the profanity, but keeps it sexy (we wouldn’t have it any other way).  I like the way Allie X both complements and contrasts on the second verse.  She gets her ear-catching lyrics in too, even if she’s not as ‘salty’ as Mike: “It’s a physically sadistic state, I feel so manic / And this body talk, it got so rude.” Of course, the crème de la crème – the centerpiece – is the chorus:

“Sex for breakfast
Aah
If you want it, if you want it, if you want it like that
You can’t wait for a second
Aah
Got you coming, got you coming, got you coming right back.”

Coming, huh? Gotta love sexual innuendo! Mike Taveira delivers a surefire bop with “Sex for Breakfast.”

2. Life of Dillon, “Sex for Breakfast”

🎵 “Sex for Breakfast” • 🏷 Epic • 📅 2017

Life of Dillon, "Sex for Breakfast" [📷: Epic]“I ordered sex for breakfast / Texting all my exes / On some Kanye West shit / Good morning.” Good morning indeed 🎙 Life of Dillon! On 🎵 “Sex for Breakfast,” the British pop duo seems totally unconcerned with the future – unbothered by things.  “I don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow / … I know my time is borrowed / I spend it all right now, hey,” LOF asserts on the first verse.   More evidence they don’t give a ‘flip’ – “I get so high, I’m friends with Jesus / So, don’t you drag me down to hell.” Woo!

The carefree vibes don’t end on that blasphemous post-chorus, which mixes weed and religion.  On the second verse, Life of Dillon makes it clear, “You say I got a problem / Baby, I ain’t trying to solve them.” Later, they add, “Forget about the old me / ‘Cause I’m on right now, yeah.” So, how much is “Sex for Breakfast” about having morning sex supplanting breakfast? Honestly, it’s more metaphorical, though there’s no doubt that it falls in line with what LOF serve up on this carefree, enjoyable, and fun joint.

3. Christina Aguilera, “Sex for Breakfast”

💿 Bionic • 🏷 RCA • 📅 2010 

Christina Aguilera, Bionic [📷: Interscope]“Tossin’ and turnin’ makes my appetite keep growing stronger / All night long.” Yes, many of us wake up in the morning hungry.  In this case, 🏆 Grammy-winning pop singer 🎙 Christina Aguilera wakes up horny – lustful.  She’s anticipating a nutritious breakfast comprised of passionate sex. 🎵 “Sex for Breakfast” is an underrated gem in her catalog, appearing on her 2010 album, 💿 Bionic.  Aguilera delivers some of her best vocals, giving a balanced performance.  Compared to her usual performances, she’s cooler, embracing the jazzy, soulful sensibilities of this R&B ballad.

“Our bodies touchin’, I just can’t get enough,” she sings on the bridge, later adding, “Won’t let you sleep, I gotta satisfy my needs.” Woo! The centerpiece is none other than the chorus, which informs us that Aguilera plans to have another session with her lover, this time in the morning:

“And when the sun rises, there’s one thing on my mind
I want sex for breakfast, stay inside
And even though we made sweet love all night
I need sex for breakfast, it feels so right.”

That “stay inside” lyrics is hot… if your mind is as dirty as mind is! Further confirmation that the breakfast isn’t pancakes, eggs, sausage, etc.: “So hungry for you, taste me and I’ll taste you.” Ultimately, “Sex for Breakfast” is marvelous.  Yes, Aguilera needs to ensure she’s eating food too, but can you knock her for wanting the fun to continue? As she stated, they’ve already got it in during the night, so, why not go for another round?
