Why Do Rockers Sing of “Love”, Not “Sex”?
Here is a lovey little diddy you can set as your sweeties ringtone.
Which just begs the question.
Frank Zappa didn’t shy away from the subject either.
Yes, yes you do.
Well this piece is called “Lick my lovepump”.
25 years ago, Color Me Badd didn’t beat around the bush (no pun intended) either.
:pI always thought so you don’t have to turn the music off when the kids come in the room.
Explicit lyrics are a parent’s nightmare.
I was out with my son one day when he was about five or six. Somebody had their music turned up and I hear, ‘NEXT THING I KNOW SHE WAS SUCKING MY DICK’.
Fortunately, he wasn’t paying attention.
Within the past 30 minutes, I heard Bad Company’s “Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love” at the Republican Convention.
You think Queen’s pissed off? Wait until Paul Rodgers & Co. find out about this MHO.
Because if they really say it, the radio won’t play it, unless they lay it between the lines.
With apologies to Peter, Paul, and Mary.
With GE Smith on guitar. I was very disappointed.
Does anyone know who the other musicians were?
One reason is that the word “sex” isn’t very singable. Some phonemes are easier to sing than others, which is why there have been so many moon/June/spoon songs. The “x” at the end of “sex” is hard to sing because of the “k” sound embedded in it. The “v” in “love” is easier to sing because it’s a voiced consonant.
Oscar Hammerstein II felt that he made a mistake with the lyric of What’s the Use of Wonderin’ from Carousel by ending it with “and all the rest is talk.” The final “k” isn’t very singable, and he thought it killed any chance the song would become a hit.
