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


Yeah, but it was more subtle than Bulsajo's contribution. At least you didn't reject the Jerry Lee Lewis bit. Of course, once you see the innuendo in anything, it's not subtle anymore; it's obvious. Like Kermo's poem.

Here's some filthy lyrics from Van Morrison circa 1967. "He Ain't Gave You None" from the Bang Masters album.


Van Morrison - He Ain�t Give You None Lyrics

Little gal, little girl, lord, you know it�s true,
Little gal, little girl, lord, you know it�s true,
I don�t wanna stop rockin� and rollin� with you.

Are you gonna let me stand alone ?
Are you gonna let me stand alone ?
Caught you this morning before your daddy came home.

And I done more for you than your daddy has ever done,
I done more for you than your daddy has ever done,
Gave you my jelly roll and he ain�t give you none.
Let�s go, eric.

Don�t you ever go down, down on curzon street, it�s bad.
Don�t you ever go down, down on curzon street.
That�s where old john flogs his daily meat.

Maybe sometime he say leave the little boy and the girl behind.
I got messed up round somewhere called notting hill gate,
I lived there for a while, but I moved out and when I moved out I was in such a
state,
I�ve never gone back there,

But i, I�m sure I done more for you than your daddy has ever done, baby,
Made you learn your syllables.
Done more for you than your daddy has ever done, all right, ha ha,
Gave you my jelly roll and he ain�t give you none.
Stay on the move.

In the back street, in the back street I gave you my jelly roll,
Ah, I gave it to you, ha ha.
Remember when we were down in the, the alley
And I said the lights were out, baby this is it you know, ha ha ha,
All right, we got a good thing going.
You can leave now if you don�t like what�s happening.
You know we got a... a few things going, you know, ha ha,
It�s a drag, ha ha, huh, that�s what you call it.

How about songs you THOUGHT were sexual, and turned out not to be.
Sly and the Family Stone sang "Thank You (Falettin Me Be Mice Elf Again)" I noticed the weird spelling of Be Myself Again but started to wonder if it wasn't "Thank you Felating me..."

And the swear filter fails miserably.

This is not from a song, but it's kinda cute. This is something Little Richard said in an interview on the subject of Jimi Hendrix's guitar playing...

Jimi did it so good. I mean gave it all, and that's all you want isn't it, all or none. Sometimes, he did it so good he made my big toe shoot up in my boot!

Little Richard is great!!! So, so outrageously gay that people didn't even attack him for it back in the 50's (not that I've heard about anyway).. And, an awesome performer.

I never thought of that.. of course, I never got "Sweet Lucy" by Deep Purple either ("knocking at your back door!"). And then there's "Back door man" by the Doors.

How did they let these songs on the radio! Anyone remember "If you see Kay" by Chilliwack? In the chorus they sing, rather quickly, "iff-yoo-see-kayy"!

I think we're forgetting what exactly innuendo is. It's a more sly reference to sex, usually with metaphor or other verbal types of allusion. If we open this out to the plain and simple mention of sex in song, it's get too wide and less interesting.

Here's some innuendo for ya. At least, when Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald sing this song, they make it sound really dirty.

Quote:
All that Meat and No Potatoes
Ed Kirkeby)

A man works hard then comes on home,
Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone.
He opens the door, then start to lookin',
Says, "Woman, what's this stuff you're cookin'?"

All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes.
Here I'm waiting, palpitatin',
For all that meat and no potatoes.

All that meat and no potatoes
All that food to the alligators, yes.
Hold me steady. I am ready
For all that meat and no potatoes.

I don't think that peas are bad.
With meat most anything goes.
I look into the pot. I'm fit to bite
'Cause, woman, you know that mess ain't right.

All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes.
Yes, I'm steamin'. I'm really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes.

Where is my fry and ham bone? Where is it?

(Lyrics by Ed Kirkeby, tune by Fats Waller, 1941)

Outkast wrote a nice one. The chorus is a very civilized allusion, and I am all for the underlying message of the rest of the song:



Quote:
"Outkast I'll Call Before I Come lyrics"

[Andre 3000]
Nigga quit being so got damn selfish
Put it in ya pelvis
Let it work, gyrate, motivate

[Chorus:]
I'll call before I come
I won't just pop over, out the blue
I hope that you do too
I'll call before I come
I won't just won't pop up over, out the blue
No after you


[Andre 3000]
Oh, thank you Lord for throwing some shy
Bones in my body let me tell you why
If not so, I'd be too, too bad
When it comes to pink polka dots and plaids
Glad to meet you, my name is Dre
But you can call me Possum Allawishes Jenkins
Andre 3000 for short
And naaw I don't want to see your thongs
I kinda dig them old school cute regular draws
And I will pause for your cause

[Chorus:]

[Big Boi]
I'm a gentleman, I'm a satisfy your soul
And then I'm a get mine
Like Wimbledon we back and forth across the court
Until we give out, do you take it all or spit it
Are you faking the funk and living a lie
Do you really know what it feels like
to have no control over the G spot?
It's like a brand new pair of Reeboks or a junkie freshly detoxed
You feel the tingling all over like convulsions or the rooster pox
I used to not give a damn
But now I make it a point just to please you
So you can go back and tell all your buddies, I Pretty D'd you

[Chorus:]
etc.

Lemon Song is innuendo, but not wholesome.

The thread leads me to think that the art of innuendo has slipped away with the ever-pushing (harder and harder Very Happy) at the edge of the good taste envelope.

As for non-sexual things taken to be sexual:

Down to This by Soul Coughing

Quote:
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You get the ankles and I'll get the wrists
You come down to this


was apparently made as a tweak on the nose to those who'd read something dirty into it. Similar to Bitch School by Spinal Tap (which is about dogs).

And another to throw out there is:

Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) by Ween

Quote:
Don't quiver little boy, your daddy's with you now
It won't be long anyhow
It's just around the corner
The destiny that I embrace with you

Don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise

Stay calm little dreamer and drift off into dreams
The gentle kiss of night is better than it seems
It's just around the corner
Close your eyes and soon you'll be with me

Don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise [3x]


Some say this is about child molestation, but I don't take Gene and Dean for pedophiles. Of course, they have no comment on the song.

This has puzzled me for a long, long time.

I'm pretty sure there is some hidden mundanity they've chosen to make as sordid as possible.

Or, it was a song they wrote about something that happened while they were tripping.

I have heard Billy Idol's "Dancing with myself" being associated with masterbation. I don't know if I exactly see it that way though.
