_The Stroke_ by Billy Squier. If it isn’t about spanking it, I don’t know what it’s about.

For anyone who may remember the **Michael Stanley Band** , they had a song (the title of which escapes me now) that started out with the lyrics:  
“With sixteen lovers  
I hid beneath the covers  
Got staples in my hands for my time”  
or something like that…

Wow, **Superdude**! You must have implanted subliminal messages in my head to make me think of this whole idea in the first place! Can’t say I remember the thread per say; but hey, it had to come from somewhere. Thanks. (I’ll give you partial credit when the time comes. So if an angry, deprived man comes pounding down your door don’t say I didn’t warn you. (Kidding)

Anyway thanks for all the responses so far guys. There are WAY more songs out there than I originaly thought. Jeez, what do these musicians do all day when there not writting music?? :eek:

**Smut** by Australian band Skyhooks. Its a little obscure but should definitely be on the OP’s CD.

God, I love that song…

“You used to watch me shave, now you just stare at the floor…”

“Used to be just you and me, a paper towel and a dirty magazine…”

“If we could just get a grip on our man-to-hand relationship…”

There is some 80s song “Relax” … thought that had to do with calling down for mayo.

Damn!!! I thought for sure that no one would know about this one. Good call… you beat me to it.

"She read romance magazine up in her room,

But when they were finished there was nothing to say,  
'Cause mostly they made love from ten miles away."

I recall Elvis saying in an interview “Pump It Up” was about taking drugs (most likely speed) while on tour.

I’ll add “Uncontrollable Urge” by Devo. I also think “All I Have To Do Is Dream” by The Everly Brothers is about masturbation, but no one seems to agree with me.

I don’t know if the song is about masturbation, but \*Moving in Stereo \*from the Cars always makes me think of a certain scene in Fast Times At Ridgemont High… Excellent hypnotic beat, too.

_Nights in White Satin_ by the Moody Blues – but not everyone interprets it that way.

“Donald and Lydia” stands out on this list as the only song without a “smirk, smirk” attitude – it’s both sweet and sad.

I agree with you, and came back to this thread to mention it.

\*I can make you mine  
Taste your lips of wine  
Anytime  
Night or day

Only trouble is  
Gee whiz  
I’m “dreamin’” my life away\* (wink, wink)
