Do you associate a specific part of the body with music? For example, there is Sir Mixalots tribute to the glutes. However, I associate other songs with other body parts. When I see girl’s belly buttons I think of Wipeout performed by Fat Boyz and Beach Boys. I associate hairy vulvas with 96 Tears by the Mysterians. I associate girl’s butts with Poison Ivy by the Coasters. I think of the Name Game by Shirley Ellis when I see a girl’s arm pits. Do you associate the body with music? ---

No, I can’t say that I have. Sir Mixalot’s song is about butts, so no surprise that that song calls butts to mind, but I don’t think 96 Tears and The Name Song have anything to do with body parts, so I’m not sure how you’re making the connection. I did write a song called “I Hate Body Hair”, which mentions all the different hairy body parts a person could have. It’s not recorded or posted on-line, but I’ll put the lyrics up here if you want. This thread might do better over in Café Society, where they often discuss songs. ---

Not really, but ZZ Top’s “Tube Snake Boogie” came to mind when I saw this thread. ---

Jeez, there’s lots of [songs dealing with body parts](http://www.songfacts.com/category-songs_with_body_parts_in_the_title.php)in some way or another. Are there any songs about being swallowed alive, I wonder? ---

That sounds like a really weird twist on synesthesia, where people associate colors with numbers, or smells with colors. ETA: Cat posted that for me before I finished. I have this to a mild degree. I associate colors with numbers, and some music pieces, mostly classical, with sights of things, but not body parts. Like, a particular movement of a suite makes me think of a cat I once had, even though I didn’t hear the music until after the cat was dead, so there’s no direct connection between the cat and the music. ---

Prong’s - Snap your Fingers Snap Your Neck Quiet Riot’s - Metal Health (Bang your Head) Disturbed’s - Ten Thousand Fists S.O.D.'s - Fist Banging Mania None of them remind me of the…umm…Hairy Vulvas. (I thought they broke up in the late 70’s) ---

Are there any songs about being swallowed alive, I wonder? I was about to say “Timothy” but that wasn’t quite alive. So try Eaten Alive - the Michael Jackson version. As for the OP I could say something about the myriad “pussy cat” songs out there but my favorite is probably Lords of Acid [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/w) atch?v=wo-KBG4jCZQ or on the humorous side [https://www.youtube.com/wa](https://www.youtube.com/wa) tch?v=YX6FUQG3z-I by the Asylum Street Spankers ---
