Songs you thought were innocent but were actually dirty

[hsher]

With a tip of the hat and several apologies to Flying Monkeys, here's another one for you music fans out there: what song did you grow up listening to, thinking it was innocent, and then after growing up into an adult, you listened again and realized "DAMN: that song ain't innocent at all." I nominate:

"Wake Up, Little Suzie" by Buddy Holly
"Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band
"She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper

What's yours?

[MethuenProgressive]

1. "Our Lips are Sealed" by the GoGos

[LostinVA]

22. That's actually not dirty

[Connonym]

2. "Why Don't We Do It in the Road"

How could a kid that naive become such a perv? I certainly don't know

[Xipe Totec]

3. Don't Give a Dose (to the one you love most)

by Shell Silversteen.

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. You can give her some marmalade

or give her some toast.

You can give her the willies or give her the blues
But the dose that you give her will get back to youse.



Then there's "Stacy Brown Got Two."

[Xipe Totec]

8. They say he was double blessed n/t

[Left Is Write]

4. Anybody who thought "Afternoon Delight" was innocent...

had obviously never heard the term "afternoon delight" before. :D

[hsher]

5. At age 10 I thought it was an ice cream sundae

No lie. I watched a lot of Electric Company and had seen a lot of the Short Circus dreamily singing songs about luscious ice cream sundaes and other sweet foods, and hearing the song, I figured...?

[amitten]

29. Me, too! I imagined it as a multi-colored parfait.

What could ever be better???


}(

[hsher]

30. Sundae fans unite!

I am SCRILLED TO DEATH somebody else thought this too!!!!! :7

[deucemagnet]

6. Hell, when I was a kid...

...I thought they were talking about lunch. :shrug:

[hsher]

31. Um... in a way, they were ;)

[Perky]

60. Yep prety much the same as a "nooner"

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. 'Sit On My Face'

Lyrics by Eric Idle, performed by the Fred Tomlinson Singers on "Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album."

Sit on my face and tell me that you love me
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you too
I love to hear you oralise
When I'm between your thighs
You blow me away!
Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you
I'll sit on your face and then I'll love you truly
Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine
If we sit on our faces in all sorts of places and play
Till we're blown away!



Who knew? :shrug:

[trof]

10. Yep, that's a real fooler.

Just awash with double entendres.

[tigereye]

11. I don't like spiders and snakes

anyone remember that one?


My Dingaling.

And Jump on My BIg 10 inch... well, not for very long.

[MysticalChicken]

12. I just have to mention that...

..."She Bop" was the first "favorite" song I ever had, at the age of five.

Didn't know what it was actually about, then, though (i mean, really, I was FIVE.)

[hyde]

13. "That's the Way Love Goes"

by Janet Jackson. I was the most innocent kid ever, because the sexual innuendo in all of Janet's songs flew over my head until I was about junior high aged. I was prolly about 8 or 9 singing along to lyrics like, "Go deeper, baby, deeper/ You feel so good I'm gonna cry," etc etc, and had no clue what the hell I was really saying.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. Louie Louie

[idgiehkt]

15. I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow

I don't think it was really about candy. :shrug:

[rug]

16. Brand New Key

[Pendrench]

17. Not a big deal, but "Wake Up, Little Suzie" was by the Everly Brothers (not Buddy Holly)

Still - it's a great song!

Tim

[hsher]

24. Oops, yikes

:dunce: :blush:

Thanks for the correction!!!!

[Pendrench]

36. You're welcome...if I remember correctly, I think that Buddy and the Everly Brothers were

quite good friends (and were both major influences on the Beatles!)

Tim

[Deja Q]

18. 'Relax' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. And a honorable mention go to

'What's Love Got to Do with It' by Tina Turner
and
'Bend Me, Shape Me' by American Breed

[mitchum]

19. "Hang On Sloopy"

[Deja Q]

23. Ewww, that's gross!

:yoiks:

[Lethe]

20. Please Please Me - The Beatles

"please please me oh yeah, like i please you"

[liberalpragmatist]

35. I've always been stunned at how many people don't make the connection

There are so many people who just assume that because it's early Beatles, it's totally harmless. These are people who know the lyrics by heart but have never even stopped to think about what the lyrics are actually saying.

It usually just takes a few seconds for it to dawn on them after I tell them "listen a little more closely."

Last night I said these words to my girl
Why don't you never even try girl
C'mon! (C'mon!) C'mon! (C'mon!) C'mon! (C'mon!) C'mon! (C'mon!)
Please Please Me, whoa yeah, like I please you

[Mad_Dem_X]

46. Yep

I read somewhere that that song is considered the first "oral-sex pop song."

[LostinVA]

21. I got Love in My Tummy

[Radical Activist]

38. doh

[LostinVA]

25. "Lola" by the Kinks

"Strangers in the Night," by Frank Sinatra

[hsher]

26. "The Fez" by Steely Dan LOL

THE FEZ

No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on
Oh no
No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on
Oh no
That's what I am
Please understand

No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on
Oh no
Ain't never gonna do it without the fez on
Oh no
That's what I am
Please understand
I wanna be your holy man

No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on
Oh no

27. I have an album titled "Risque Rhythm: Nasty 50s R&B"

http://www.amazon.com/Risque-Rhythm-Nasty-50s-B/dp/B0000032HL

It has Big Ten Inch Record as originally recorded by Bull Moose Jackson.

There's Dinah Washington singing "Big Long Sliding Thing" ostensibly about a trombone player.

There's also "Let Me Bang Your Box" by The Toppers. Get your mind out of the gutter; it's about playing the piano.

The highlight of the album (for me anyway) is the amazing toe-tapping "Sixty Minute Man" by Billy Ward and his Dominoes. You say you've never heard it? Of course you have. It's the song Costner and Sarandon dance to at the end of Bull Durham.


Sixty minute man, sixty minute man
Look a here girls I'm telling you now
They call me "Lovin' Dan"
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty-minute man

If you don't believe I'm all I say
Come up and take my hand
When I let you go you'll cry "Oh yes,"
"He's a sixty-minute man

There'll be 15 minutes of kissing
Then you'll holler "please don't stop"
There'll be 15 minutes of teasing
And 15 minutes of squeezing
And 15 minutes of blowing my top

If your ol' man ain't treating you right
Come up and see ol' Dan
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty-minute man

Sixty-minute man
They call me Lovin' Dan
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty-minute man

Sixty-minute man
They call me Lovin' Dan
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty-minute man

There'll be 15 minutes of kissing
Then you'll holler "please don't stop"
There'll be 15 minutes of teasing
And 15 minutes of squeezing
And 15 minutes of blowing my top

If your ol' man ain't treating you right
Come up and see ol' Dan
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty-minute man, oh yeah
SIXTY-MINUTE MAN


If you've ever seen Rob Reiner's "This is Spinal Tap," they kind of mock the double entendre as the two doofus musicians are far too stupid to think of anything clever. Instead we get the following single entendre:

Nigel is playing a soft piece on the piano
Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty.
Nigel Tufnel: Yeah, I've been fooling around with it for a few months.
Marty DiBergi: It's a bit of a departure from what you normally play.
Nigel Tufnel: It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.
Marty DiBergi: It's very nice.
Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of...
Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".

[yvr girl]

33. I was at a youth banquet with Prince Charles and Princess Diana

and a group performed, "Sixty Minute Man" - the lead singer practically sat in Diana's lap during the song.

[momophile]

28. "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors

although Wikipedia says that it is only 'rumored' to be about monsterbation. I had never heard this rumor until grad school a few years back.

[Fuzz]

32. Debbie Boone "You Light Up My Life"

Who knew it was about anal sex and candle wax? I didn't!

:shrug:

[ironflange]

34. Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

BTW, "Wake Up, Little Suzie" clearly states they fell asleep at the drive-in, unless Buddy Holly's version differs from the Everlys'.

[Radical Activist]

37. Yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy

I was recently informed of what kind of love in her tummy the song was about.

[begin_within]

39. "Bang a Gong" by T. Rex

I still don't really get what is so dirty about it. But, my sister explained to me after I bought the album (first album I ever bought) that it was a dirty song.

[pokerfan]

40. Like a Virgin - Madonna

See the opening of Reservoir Dogs.

[NMMNG]

41. "Dancing With Myself" by Billy Idol

I used to think he actually was singing about dancing. :shrug:

[HeeBGBz]

42. Party Doll -Buddy Knox

Well all I want is a party doll,
To come along with me when I'm feelin' wild,
To be everlovin', true and fair,
To run her fingers through my hair.

(chorus)
Come along and be my party doll,
Come along and be my party doll,
Come along and be my party doll,
I wanna make love to you, to you,
I wanna make love to you.

Well I saw a gal walkin' down the street,
The kind of a gal I'd love to meet,
She had blonde hair and eyes of blue,
Baby I wanna have a party with you.

(chorus)

Every man has got to have a party doll,
To be with him when he's feelin' wild,
To be everlovin', true and fair
To run her fingers through his hair,
To run her fingers through his hair.

Who knew they had plastic wimmen back then?

[carlydenise]

44. YMCA-Village People..........

Love to Love You Baby-Donna Summer *I was a kid, didn't recognize the orgasmic moans*

45. "Lightning Striking Again": Lou Christie.

As a kid, I thought they just were falling in love with each other.

How wrong I was...

LOU CHRISTIE lyrics - "Lightnin' Strikes"

www.OldieLyrics.com

(Lou Christie and Twyla Herbert)

Listen to me, baby, you gotta understand
You're old enough to know the makings of a man
Listen to me, baby, it's hard to settle down
Am I asking too much for you to stick around

Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you
Won't you wait but 'til then

When I see lips beggin' to be kissed (stop)
I can't stop (stop)
I can't stop myself
(Stop, stop)

Lightning is striking again
Lightning is striking again

Nature's takin' over my one-track mind
Believe it or not, you're in my heart all the time
All the girls are sayin' that you'll end up a fool
For the time being, baby, live by my rules

When I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I'll make up for all lost time

If she's put together fine
And she's readin' my mind (stop)
I can't stop (stop)
I can't stop myself
(Stop, stop)

Lightning is striking again
Lightning is striking again
And again and again and again



Lightning is striking again
Lightning is striking again

There's a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us around the bend
Picture in your mind
Love forever, but 'til then

If she gives me a sign
That she wants to make time (stop)
I can't stop (stop)
I can't stop myself
(Stop, stop)

Lightning is striking again
Lightning is striking again
And again and again and again
Lightning is striking again
And again and again and again

And holy mother of pearl--this is Lou Christie (obviously in his younger days, but still...)

[Mad_Dem_X]

48. I can't stand that f'ing song

"I'm going to screw around on you, but then I'll come back and we can get married. Whaddaya say?" :eyes:

[Sequoia]

57. Forgive and forget

Yes, I hated that song as a girl growing up. I thought, hey, if he can then so can I.

[Z_I_Peevey]

47. Boogie Woogie Choo-Choo Train, by the Tractors.

[Mad_Dem_X]

49. Ms_Dem_Meanor wants to add this one:

"Juicy Fruit" by Mtume.

[Perky]

50. Bruce Springsteen's Red-headed Woman (w/ Lyrics)

Well brunettes are fine man
And blondes are fun
But when it comes to getting a dirty job done

I'll take a red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a red headed woman
To get a dirty job done

Well listen up stud
Your life's been wasted
Til you've got down on your knees and tasted

A red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a red headed woman
To get a dirty job done

Tight skirt, strawberry hair
Tell me what you've got, baby, waiting under there
Big green eyes that look like, son
They can see every cheap thing that you ever done

Well I don't know how many girls you've dated, man
But you ain't lived til you've had your tires rotated

By a red headed woman
A red headed woman
It takes a red headed woman
To get a dirty job done

[idgiehkt]

58. he surprises me sometimes

"Mary, Queen of Arkansas" was pretty bold too, but I don't think anyone noticed, probably because it wasn't that great of a song, but it sure is sad.

[Perky]

Have you seen the lyrics to Reno off the Devils and Dust album?

No Subtlety in these lyrics at all...

She took off her stockings
I held 'em to my face
She had your ankles
I felt filled with grace

"Two hundred dollars straight in
Two-fifty up the ass" she smiled and said
She unbuckled my belt, pulled back her hair
And sat in front of me on the bed

She said, "Honey, how's that feel
Do you want me to go slow?"
My eyes drifted out the window
And down to the road below

I felt my stomach tighten
As the sun bloodied the sky
And sliced through hotel blinds
I closed my eyes

...

She slipped me out of her mouth
"You're ready," she said
She took off her bra and panties
Wet her fingers, slipped it inside her
And crawled over me on the bed

[Perky]

A love song to his right hand.

Rosie, you're all right
You wear my ring
When you hold me tight
Rosie, that's my thing
When you turn out the light
I've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie
