Surprised no one has mentioned Melanie and “Brand New Key”. 😉 ♫I’ve got a brand new pair of rollerskates, You’ve got a brand new key. I think that we should get together And try them out, you see…♫ In a voice like an adolescent girl. 😛 ---

Hmm. I guess there’s a difference between double entendre and extended metaphor. But I really like the song _Passenger_ by Deftones. Which is not about a ride in a car. _Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces These and other lucky witnesses Now to calm me This time won’t you please Drive faster_ [YouTube link to sexy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTPn4Jlrjb0) ---

Bowser & Blue, [“Polka-Dot Undies”](https://youtu.be/LN6qRyKJbA0). The entire song is a “Shaving Cream”-esque series of innuendo. The first verse: > [@](#): > > Well, I went for a drive in my pickup truck. > I picked up my girl, 'cause I wanted to > Show her my gloves, 'cause she had on her mitts, > And I blushed brightly when she showed me her > Perfume that she buys whenever Avon calls, > So I took off my pants, and I showed her my > Polka-dot undies! ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > I’d call that wrong. I don’t think he is. “Shaving cream” is being used as a polite fill in for “shit.” There’s no double meaning that can be read into as there is, for example, with a lock and key being a vagina and penis. ---
