I'm wondering what examples there are between a song like "Cream" by Prince and "My Ding-a-ling" by Chuck Berry.

Cream=get on top, don't you stop=too over-the-top

My Ding-a-ling=really just a song about penii=too obvious=a 5-year old could get the joke

What's cleverly hidden?

What I had in mind:

Tonight She Comes by the Cars

She tells me it's easy
when you do it right

I honestly missed the innuendo until just recently.

I'm guessing "Yeastie Girls" would be completely out of the question...

You Suck Lyrics (warning, explicit language)

However, The Monochrome Set's "The Mating Game"- while not exactly wholsesome and not at all innuendo- is a little tamer and might fit your bill:

Quote:
One of the classic, undiscovered albums of the early '80s, Eligible Bachelors is a tour de force of wit and musical imagination. It features some of the funniest songs ever committed to vinyl, kicking off with "Jet Set Junta," which, alongside bookend song "The Ruling Class," pillories the neuroses of the wealthy. "The Mating Game" is also deeply amusing as a cad's cynical guide to the opposite sex, with lyrics like, "Blond, brunette or redhead, black, yellow or white/They taste the same, in the mating game."

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:5gx7gjyrj6ip

Kiss, lick, stroke, flick
Quiver, quiver, shake and shiver, baby, wow
Un-clasp, flop, gasp
Sopping, sopping, there's no stopping now

Blonde, brunette, or redhead
Black, yellow or white
They�re all the same
In the mating game
But I can' t complain now

Squeeze, suck, pinch, pluck
Wobble, wobble, grab and gobble, darling, moan
Un-zip, ooze, drip
Dippy, dippy, wet and slippy, groan

Blonde, brunette, or redhead
Black, yellow or white
They kiss the same
In the mating game
But I can' t complain now

Bend, peel ,slap, squeal
Doggie, doggie, shudder, on your bended knees
Thrust, pump, spurt, slump
Ciggy, ciggy, puff, puff, cough and wheeze

Blonde, brunette, or redhead
Black, yellow or white
They taste the same
In the mating game
But I can' t complain now



Cleverly hidden? Well, it's all relative, isn't it?

How about Warren Zevon's Dirty Little Religion in which sexual innuendo is hidden in revival tent preaching. It's almost a tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis:

I like to think I've earned my reputation
For rushing in where angels fear to tread
I'll take you home to meet the congregation
We'll all get together in my tent

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
I'll make a dirty little convert out of you
I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
I'll make a dirty little convert out of you

They treat you like a red-headed stepchild
And try to keep you nailed to the floor
Join us for the countdown to the Rapture
We never turned a sinner from our door

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
I'll make a dirty little convert out of you
I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
It's a dirty little religion, hallelujah

Dirty little acolyte
Dirty little one
Learn the fundamentals of desire
Can I get a witness
To my testament?
Can I get an amen from the choir?

I like to think I've earned my reputation
For trying to take the bull by the horns
I'll show you where I get my inspiration
Where we plow and where we plant the corn

I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
I'll make a dirty little convert out of you
I make a dirty little religion out of lovin'
It's a dirty little religion, hallelujah

Dirty little acolyte
Dirty little one
You'll learn the fundamentals of desire
Can I get a witness
To my testament?
Can I get an amen from the choir?

This one isn't music- it's poetry, but it's my very very favorite poem about sex, and it has been since I was 13. It's by e.e.cummings.

"She Being Brand-New"

little stiff i was
careful of her and(having

thoroughly oiled the universal

up,slipped the

oh and her gears being in
A 1 shape passed
from low through
second-in-to-high like

avenue i touched the accelerator and give

her the juice,good

Woland, there's nothing hidden about the sexual innuendo in that song.

Ever since I saw that Arrested Development episode, I have been meaning to look:



Quote:

Afternoon Delight
The Starland Vocal Band


Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
a little afternoon delight.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Repeat chorus.

[sic]


"You've got some bait a wait'n'..."

Swoon girls, swoon.

Following up on "Dust my Broom"
J. Geils Centerfold has a line in it toward the end (from memory....he is standing in a shop looking through "girlie magazines" and sees a picture of the girl he knows and he sings)
"Oh yeah, I can't deny it;
Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it."

I'll see if I can find an mp3 to Judge Dread's Up with the Cock. It's more wholesome than it sounds. Basically all of his music is smut.

Woah- you are the second person to tell me that, and the first one was really dirty-minded. Now I feel kinda smutty.

Frank Zappa is ALWAYS putting in references to sex. Try "Fine Girl" and "Dirty Love."

As the title implies, Dirty Love isn't that subtle, but it's got some great euphemisms:
Quote:
Give me
Your dirty love
Like you might surrender
To some dragon in your dreams

Give me
Your dirty love
Like a pink donation
To the dragon in your dreams

I dont need your sweet devotion
I dont want your cheap emotion
Just whip me up some dragon lotion
For your dirty love

Give me
Your dirty love
Like some tacky little pamphlet
In your daddys bottom drawer

Give me
Your dirty love
I dont believe you have ever seen
That book before

I dont need no consolation
I dont want your reservation
I only got one destination
An thats your dirty love

Give me
Your dirty love
Just like your mama
Make her fuzzy poodle do

Give me
Your dirty love
The way your mama
Make that nasty poodle chew

Ill ignore your cheap aroma
And your little-bo-peep diploma
Ill just put you in a coma
With some dirty love

The poodle bites!
(come on, frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(snap it!)
The poodle bites!
(come on, frenchie)
The poodle chews it!
(snap it!)


Fine Girl is a little more coy, and proports to be about this particular woman's housekeeping skills:
Quote:
Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
She go up in the mornin'
She go down in the evenin'...all de way down
She do the dishes
If you wishes
Silverware too
Make it look brand new...when she get through
Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
Outa this world

Well, yeah, well, yeah, well, yeah, well
Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
She could get down wit de get down
All de way down
She do your laundry
She change a tire
Chop a little wood for de fire
Poke it around...if it died down

Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
With a lovely smile
With a bucket on her head
Fulla water from de well
She could run a mile
Oh yeah
She wouldn't spill a drop
It'd stay on top
Her head was kinda flat
But her hair covered that
She was a fine girl
Didn't need no school
She was built like a mule
With a thong sandal
Well, wasn't no kinda job she could not handle
She could get down...wit de get down
All de way down
We need some more like dat in dis kinda town
We need some more like dat in dis kinda town
We need some more like dat in dis kinda town
We need some more like dat in dis kinda town...
We need some more like dat...
