> [@Equipoise](#): > > Not quite what you’re looking for, but this is another one that’s quite erotic, to me. Forget the flowers and poetry, just get on with it dammit! Ooooh, I love this one and you get massive brownie points for elaborate mentioning of the magical Kate. My contribution is too old, I know, but I can’t resist [The Bonny Black Hare](http://sniff.numachi.com/pages/tiBLACKHR2.html) as recorded by Fairport Covention, but obviously it is much older than that. I love the very very thinly veiled references to sex. Whoever wrote that was obviously the Prince of his day: \*Bonny Black Hare On the 14th of May, at the dawn of the day With me gun on me shoulder to the woods I did stray In search of some game, if the weather prove fair To see can I get a shot at the bonny black hare I met a young girl there with her face as a rose And her skin was as fair as the lily that grows I says, My fair maid, why ramble you so Can you tell me where the bonny black hare do go The answer she gave me, O, the answer was no But under me apron they say it do go And if you’ll not deceive me, I vow and declare We’ll both go together to hunt the bonny black hare I laid this girl down with her face to the sky I took out me ramrod, me bullets likewise Saying, Wrap your legs round me, dig in with your heels For the closer we get, O, the better it feels The birds, they were singing in the bushes and trees And the song that they sang was, She’s easy to please I felt her heart quiver and I knew what I’d done Says I, Have you had enough of me old sporting gun The answer she gave me, O, the answer was nay It’s not often young sportsmen like you come this way And if your powder is good and your bullets are fair Why don’t you keep firing at the bonny black hare Oh, me powder is wet and me bullets all spent And me gun I can’t fire, for it’s choked at the vent But I’ll be back in the morning, and if you are still here We’ll both go together to hunt the bonny black hare - ---

“Midnight Blue”, recorded by Melissa Manchester. Whatever it is it’ll keep 'til the morning Haven’t we both got better things to do? Midnight Blue Even the simple things become rough Haven’t we had enough? And I think we can make it one more time, if we try One more time for all the old times For all of the times you told me you need me Needing me now is something I could use Midnight Blue Wouldn’t you give your hand to a friend?

> [@Ferret\_Herder](#): > > A lot of stuff by Lords of Acid, but some include “Lover”, “Rough Sex”, “Pussy,” etc. Very NSFW, but you can find the songs on YouTube if you want to search further. Exactly what I was going to suggest. Lords of Acid, specifically the Lust cd, was good hard f-ck music. Their cd Dirty Little Secret also has some good ones, i.e. the above mentioned “Pussy” song. Also, in a similar genre, check out My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult - Sex Drive. MeanJoe ---

> [@faithfool](#): > > Well, I’d start with [“I Want Your Sex”](http://www.lyrics007.com/George%20Michael%20Lyrics/I%20Want%20Your%20Sex%20Lyrics.html) by George Michaels. Can’t get any more blatant than that. Erm, sure you can 🙂 “Dick by the Pound” by DJ Assault - see the track list on that page for much more - including the classic track “Ass n Titties”. Definitely not safe for work. http:// www . [ilike.com/artist/DJ+Assault/track/Dick+By+The+Pound](http://ilike.com/artist/DJ+Assault/track/Dick+By+The+Pound) Much of the work by 2Life Crew and other Miamy Bass groups in the 90s will qualify. ---

Let us not forget all the songs dealing with solo endeavors: “Rattlesnake Shake,” “Pictures of Lily,” “Rosie,” etc. _But Rosie you’re all right – you wear my ring When you hold me tight – Rosie that’s my thing When you turn out the light – I’ve got to hand it to me Looks like it’s me and you again tonight Rosie_ ---

Current hip hop: Trey Songz - “I Invented Sex” R Kelly - “Number 1” (How is he even allowed to sing a song with that title?:D) Jeremih - “Birthday Sex” These are the obvious ones, although 99% of songs by Trey Songs or R Kelly would qualify. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Let us not forget all the songs dealing with solo endeavors: “Rattlesnake Shake,” “Pictures of Lily,” “Rosie,” etc. Okay, if we include masturbation as “sex” well then we have pretty much every song that isn’t already included on a “sex in music” list. 😉 _Rosie_ is a great example of one that many people didn’t/don’t “get” what it is about but for even more subtlety and a song you could sing along with in front of your parents without fear of being caught singing about masturbation, how about [\*I Think I’m Turning Japanese \*](http://www.lyricsondemand.com/onehitwonders/turningjapaneselyrics.html)? By the Vapors of course. 😉 ---

No mention of **Madonna** in a music sex thread? How about **Erotica?** A BDSM Anthem. _I’ll give you love, I’ll hit you like a truck I’ll give you love, I’ll teach you how to (moans)_ How about **Where Life Begins?** An Ode to Oral _It’s not fair to be selfish or stingy Every girl should experience eating out Sometimes when I come home from a hard day at work I swear it’s all I can think about_ Hell, most of her songs were metaphors for sex. _Only when I’m dancing do I feel this free At night I lock the doors where no-one else can see I’m tired of dancing here all by myself Tonight I’m gonna dance with someone else_ I also notice a lack of country music here. Try **Garth Brooks** ’ song ‘‘Ain’t Goin’ Down ‘Til the Sun Comes Up.’’ It was a pretty mainstream popular country music song about illicit teenage sex. \*Ain’t going down ‘til the sun comes up Ain’t givin’ in 'til they get enough Going ‘round the world in a pickup truck Ain’t goin’ down 'til the sun comes up Ten 'til twelve is wine and dancing Midnight starts the hard romancing One o’clock that truck is rocking Two is coming, still no stopping Break to check the clock at three \* ---

I immediately thought of two jazz standards: [Peel Me a Grape](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HYhD7hTezU) (1962) [Frim Fram Sauce](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS_6vtAGTE0) (1945) Both versions linked here are performed by Diana Krall, since she does a great subtle sexy. Interestingly enough, both use food as a metaphor for sex. ---
