The adult industry doesn’t always have the best reputation in culture when it comes to original music and scoring in their productions. More often than not, resources are spent on that perfect money shot, lighting, and makeup, and the best adjustable strap-on money can buy. However, there are still directors out there in the industry who will demand an original composer, but when one thinks of an adult film soundtrack, the Casio keyboard so ubiquitous in 80s low-budget horror movies tend to come to mind, but the industry does have musical talent. There’s Tera Patrick‘s ex-husband, Evan Stenfield (or Spyder Jonez), plays bass and is the vocalist for Biohazard, and Joanna Angel‘s husband Small Hands, who was moderately successful in 2000’s pop-punk band, Fenix Tx, as bassist
and background vocalist who has scored some productions for Burning Angel Entertainment. And then there’s composor James Lynch, who had a brief stint working for Troma Films with Tommy Pistol. James has been producing original music for adult films for years. Let’s take a look a look at some of our favorite titles on HotMovies featuring original music.
No. 1: Sex World – Vinegar Syndrome
Sex World‘s catchy theme song opens as soon as the titles appear. “Sex World…go on a spree!” The soundtrack was composed by Berry Lipman. Vinegar Syndrome has restored the classic to 4K from the original 35mm print and the blu-ray features a 16-track soundtrack CD. “Sex World…come here with meeeeeee!” The movie is a fantastic, high-end classic, and the funky theme song will be stuck in your head for weeks!

No. 2: Misha in Exile – Evil Angel
Problems with Immigration halted rising superstar and director Misha Cross from attending the AVN Awards, inspiring her to create Misha In Exile. Samantha Bentley produced original music for Misha’s stunningly shot directorial debut, and the two even share a scene together!
No. 3: Heartbreaker Vs Obscura – Severe Sex
Lily Cade uses original music written by real-life friend and co-star Kameltoe. The song is titled “Run Cold” and it fits beautifully with the isolated theme of the movie. Also, don’t miss Lily and Kameltoe also together in Boi On Boi where Kameltoe’s singing and songwriting is on display as she plays the guitar and sings a hilarious and brilliant song about our fucked up economy!
No. 4: Evil Head – Burning Angel
James Lynch was asked to compose the score for this gory spoof. He fell into the project the same way many other indie directors, actors, and musicians fall into porn. After some of his music from Troma was used for an adult production called Re-Penetrator. James Lynch was then asked to contribute to Evil Head. Since leaving Troma and composing for adult films, Lynch has done most of his work for Burning Angel Entertainment.
No. 5: Phatty’s Rhymes & Dimes Series – Freaky Empire: Brian Pumper
Brian Pumper is the man and the icon responsible for bringing original rap music to the adult entertainment industry! Check out any of his Phatty’s Rhymes & Dimes movies as evidence of his talent. Pumper clearly said FUCK waiting for a rap career to take off, and brought his studio tracks with him to his porn shoots. You have to admire the hustle!
No. 6: A XXX Documentary – PornFidelity
Director Andy Zane presents an in-depth look into the adult industry’s most influential performers’ thoughts on a variety of topics. Andy also composes all of his own music for his films. Check out our interview with Zane here.
No. 7: Misty Beethoven: The Musical – VCA
In 1976, at the height of porn’s Golden Age, director Henry Paris released what many critics and fans consider to be one of the greatest adult movies ever made: The Opening of Misty Beethoven. Now, some thirty years later, director and performer Veronica Hart reimagines this classic story of a pornographic Pygmalion and reinvents it into something not even Henry Paris could have come up with: a musical. With original songs performed by a star-studded cast, Misty Beethoven: The Musical challenges the notion of adult movies by combining incredible dance choreography and an electric score with the kind of sexual fireworks that you’d expect from a porn musical that features a singing penis! With original music written by Maxwell Heart & Romeo Lovell
No. 8: Crock of Love – Kick Ass
With music by Glen Baren, this spoof of the reality series Rock of Love was nominated in 2010 for Best Original Song. It’s an adult production from Kick Ass featuring a kick-ass rock song soundtrack, you’ll probably want to be a rockstar after viewing, if you’re not longing for that already like the rest of us sitting behind our cubicles and waiting for five o’clock to pass.
No. 9: Alice In Wonderland – Arrow Productions
This charming and batshit-insane 70s production holds the honor of being the first adult-oriented musical ever released. Despite the fact that Bucky Searles composed an extensive score, conducted by no less than Peter Matz, no soundtrack album was ever released.
No. 10: Band Sluts – Burning Angel Entertainment
Wisconsin’s most tragically ironic hipster band goes out on tour to California in search of fame and fortune in this music mockumentary. Small Hands is a metal machine, and we’ve mentioned his work in music outside the industry but he scores for countless titles in Burning Angel’s catalog including the original song “Gimme Some Pants” in Band Sluts. You can also hear his work in Metal Massage, Fuck This Couch, and Old Men Young Whores.
