This is not a joke, by the way. You didn't just stumble onto The Onion or Waterford Whispers - this is a real story.
Gizmodo Australia mined the Spotify playlists of its fellow citizen, searching for playlists that featured words such as "Valentine's Day", "Valentine's", "love", or "sex" and logging which songs appeared most frequently within this parameter. As it turns out, John Williams' three-minute jazz opus cropped up a lot.
Like, a lot a lot.
According to Spotify, "'Cantina Band' from the Star Wars: A New Hope Soundtrack, by John Williams, takes out the number one spot on the top sexy time playlists, by a landslide." It's hard to know precisely what the thinking is for Australians with a song like this; maybe it's just the dulcet tones of the saxophones? Maybe it's that ring-tone esque beat.
Maybe it's because it loops perfectly? That could be it. Who knows. While other songs on the list may have been more conventional - such as Ginuwine's Pony or Rihanna's Sex With Me - a lot of Australian sex has likely taken place to this music and that's the sort of world we want to live in.
Incredible stuff. Have a listen.
