Musicals have had a steady history of lusty musical numbers. There are songs about rolling in the hay, and others extolling the virtues of different (ahem) flavors of man-candy. Some songs are paens to hot, steamy nights, and some are about what you do on those kind of nights. 

"April showers may come your way, they bring flowers that bloom in May!" So go the words of the old Tin Pan Alley song.
