Van Halen’s _Panama_ comes to mind; “Reach down between my legs, ease the seat back” :eek: End of that stupid Bryan Adams _Summer of 69_ ; “Me and my baby in 69!” 😃 and one of the funniest ones IMO Rod Stewart’s _Tonight’s the Night_ “Don’t say a word, my virgin child…blah blah blah… **spread your wings and let me come inside** ” :rolleyes: 😃 ---

Well, there’s the whole song “Like a Prayer” which seems to be about someone calling out Madonna’s name during sex, and of course, her name being Madonna and all, it sounds “like a prayer.” Then of course Madonna gets down on her knees, and I’m pretty sure she’s not praying. ---

I’m partial to “paradise by the dashboard lights” (by **Meatloaf** ), but then, my first serious boyfriend had a van. P.S. In my neighborhood, the term “serious boyfriend or girlfriend” served as a euphemism for lover, and, after spending an hour or so in the backroom necking (think “going all the way”) we’d tell our parents we had been watching _Starsky and Hutch,_ a show they thought we thought was cool, but was really just a front for sex. ---

Well…pick pretty much any Aerosmith song you like… And, then, the Weird Al song “One More Minute”, after being dumped by his girlfriend: _“…I’m stranded all alone in the gas station of love and I have to use the self-service pumps…”_ ---

I like the not so subtle “Long John Blues” with Dinah Washington. A 1948 song about a visit to the dentist 😉 : _…He took out his trusted drill And he told me to open wide He said he wouldn’t hurt me But he’d fill my hole inside Long John, Long John, you’ve got that golden touch You thrill me when you drill me, and I need you very much…_ ---

Until I saw it discussed elsewhere on these boards, it had never occurred to me, but I nominate Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl”. “Down in the hollow, playing a new game” Indeed. ---

It’s probably just my filthy mind, but the guitar solo at the end of All about Eve’s “In the meadow” has always had this intense innuendo-like quality for me… ---

In _Brand New Day_ by Sting there’s a lovely string of double-entendres and cliches: _I?m the bat and you?re the cave You?re the beach and I?m the wave I?m the plough and you’re the land You?re the glove and I?m the hand I?m the train and you?re the station_ [And, my favorite] _I?m the flagpole to your nation!_ [Followed immediately by:] \*STAND UP! All you lovers in the world, Stand up and be counted . . . \* And I always thought that the song _More than Words_ by Extreme was a lovely and lyrical way to say, “Shut up and do me, woman.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by betenoir \* > \*\* > “…of course I’ve had it in my ear before.” > > Iggy Pop \*\* This is a reference to the Midwesternism “to get/have it in the ear”, and has nothing to do with sex. In fact, I think the only time I’ve ever heard of Iggy being taken aback by anything was when an interviewer suggested otherwise! (See [here](http://members.tripod.com/~flawed/iggy3.html).) Of course, virtually every other song the man’s ever written _is_ about sex, so it’s an understandable misunderstanding. 🙂 My favorite example: “Shake Appeal”. I was listening to it while doing the laundry, and nearly dropped my socks when I realized it was about fisting. Or is it? I’m still not sure about the intent behind the original version, but I am quite sure that the 7 Year Bitch cover means it that way! Oh, and **arara123** , you’re thinking of the song “Nazi Girlfriend”. ---
