Sex in music

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 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?
Maybe it’s not the end

And I think we can make it one more time, if we try
One more time for all the old times
Midnight Blue

I think we can make it
I think we can make it
Wouldn’t you give your heart to a friend
Think of me as your friend

And I think we can make it one more time, if we try
One more time for all of the old, old times
One more time
I think we can make it, if we try
I think we can make it, if we try
Looks like we’re going to make it
Looks like we’re going to make it
If we try

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.

Oh jolly super
You really are a trooper,
I wouldn’t half like to
Put my penis
In your vagina later
If that’s all right
With you.

  • Derek Twinkle and his South Sea Smoothies

Oh… and how could I forget The Bloodhound Gang. Hooray for Boobies is all really fun sophmoric songs about sex (well, mostly).

Mom and Dad this is Chasey
Chasey this is my mom and dad
Now show 'em them titties

Makes me laugh every single time.

Erm, sure you can :slight_smile:

“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

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

Robert Johnson’s “Terraplane* Blues” was recorded in 1936 and is full of innuendo.

*:slight_smile:

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.

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. :wink: 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 *? By the Vapors of course. :wink:

Tom Lehrer’s I Got It From Agnes - promiscuity, gay sex, bestiality, incest and rape in a fun song without a single dirty word…

“Miracles” by Jefferson Starship: “I had a taste of the real world when I went down on you”.
“Sex on Fire” by Kings of Leon: “Your sex is on fire.”

Darling, don’t be alarmed.

Killed that song forever. :slight_smile:

Step Yo Game Up by Snoop Dogg feat Lil John:

Pretty much any Lady Gaga song.

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 *

The Who’s “Squeeze Box.” Hint: It’s not about an accordian.

I immediately thought of two jazz standards:

Peel Me a Grape (1962)
Frim Fram Sauce (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.

Classic! :smiley:

And branching out in another direction, we have the traditional The Ups And Downs as interpreted by Steeleye Span.
