And Jazz itself derives from the same root as jizz, deriving from a term for vital energy. One sees the same pattern with spunk.
There are many blues songs where the singer wants/gets/gonna get some of that jelly roll.
The phrase “rockin’ and rollin’” was itself originally a euphemism for sex.
“Wango Tango” by Ted Nugent.
“My Ding-A-Ling” by Chuck Berry.
“Yummy, yummy, yummy, I’ve got love in my tummy” by Ohio Express.
“Paradise by the Dashboard Light” by Meatloaf.
“Original Sin” by Pandora’s Box, later covered by Taylor Dane and Meatloaf.
As far as I know, it doesn’t refer to semen, which is what I assume you’re implying. Yes, there’s stories of that, but there’s a couple stories for their name. Another popular naming myth at the time was that it referred to some sort of hallucinogenic jam Eddie’s grandmother made, or somesuch.
“Macon Hambone Blues” by Wet Willie: “She said, ‘I’m gonna take care of your hot dog, if you take care of my bun.’”
“Birds do it
Bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let’s do it.”
Brand New Key by Melanie
Who also recorded
And I was gettin’ blown away,
And she held it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace
Well at least that verse is euphemistic. That track includes such peaks of trope as “I’m gonna give you every inch of my love” and “I wanna be your back door man”.
Oh and also from Zep:
Squeeze me baby, 'till the juice runs down my leg
The way you squeeze my lemon, I’m gonna fall right out of bed,
I’m telling you, masters of subtlety these two bands…
One day I was in the car with my wife when “I Want Candy” by Bow Wow Wow came on the radio. I’d never paid much attention to the lyrics before, but this time I did.
“Candy is a metaphor, isn’t it?” I asked.
My wife just laughed.
Whole gotta shaking going on.
“My Handyman” wins hands down for most over-the-top ridiculous number of euphemisms in one song.
He shakes my ashes,
Greases my griddle,
Churns my butter,
And he strokes my fiddle, aw
My man, is such a handy man
Bungle in the Jungle - Jethro Tull
Let’s get physical - Olivia Newton-John
Afternoon delight
Let’s get physical
*I’m your ice cream man, baby, stop me when I’m passin’ by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy *-- Van Halen
The absolute most disgusting explicit lyrics ever, from a Jethro Tull song, Velvet Green
*The long grass blows in the evening cool
And August rare delight may be April’s fool
But think not of that, my love, I’m tight against the seam
And growing up to meet you down on velvet green
Now I may tell you that it’s love and not just lust
And if we live the lie, let’s lie in trust
On golden daffodils to catch the silver stream
That washes out the wild oat seed upon velvet green*
I don’t think Velvet Green is disgusting at all.
Now, Hunting Girl, that’s kinky.
