Top 10 2000s Songs That Became Popular Again

They’re the songs that showed us all it’s possible to be sexy at any age. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Cougar Songs. For this list, we’re only featuring songs that deal with relationships or attractions between older women and younger men. We’re excluding those situations that are the reverse, in other words, where the men are considerably older than the women or girls they are courting or dating.

Unlike many of the cougar-praising tunes on this countdown, this sultry song comes from the perspective of the cougar in question. With lyrics that point to both hesitation and lustful abandonment, the woman in this song speaks with the desire to please her partner, and to teach him a thing or two about the delicate intricacies of love and sexual fulfillment with a sense of both freedom and independence. A Stevie Nicks signature tune, “Edge of Seventeen” also made the Billboard Hot 100’s top twenty in the early ‘80s.

#9: “Don’t Talk to Strangers” (2009) Hedley

A sexy cougar on the prowl is the topic of this upfront tune, which presents the portrait of an older woman looking for some lovin’ from a much younger man. With a yoga-toned body, and alluring ambition, this lady has one thing on her mind, and the narrator of this song is happy to oblige. “Don’t Talk to Strangers” describes this cougar to be “hotter than hell” - despite the fact that the narrator’s mother told him to not talk to strangers… maybe they should have listened to their mothers.

Seduced into an affair with an older married woman, this song’s narrator feels intrigued by the prospect of learning more about the ways of love and passion the way only a seasoned woman can teach. Sting sings about being wrapped around an older woman’s finger while having a teacher and apprentice relationship. Filled with a lingering melody and epic lyrics which include mythological and literary figures, this is a tale of boyhood curiosity at its finest.

This sweet 1950s song has a man at the mercy of his older girlfriend. Undeterred by the comments of others regarding their age gap, this guy seems hung up on his lady through thick and thin and motivated to work things out in the face of their age taboo, as well as the insecurity he feels about her true feelings. Filled with both a sense of hope and fear of heartbreak, this song proves that the intriguing allure of a sexy cougar has always been one of music’s most fulfilling muses.

The narrator clearly has one thing on his mind when he offers to help out around the house or finds any excuse to come over…and it’s not the affections of his school-aged companion Stacy.
