Question: Mama's Got a Double Entendre

Clyde Mnestra — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 14:49:20 -0800

What modern song lyrics contain the best -- the cleverest, filthiest, most sustained -- sexual innuendo?

Kids these days get a fair number of overt, direct songs like "Love in This Club" (Usher) -- there are others that are far dirtier that I can't recall at the moment -- and an occasional song like "If You Seek Amy" (Britney) that are more subtle, but basically one joke.

I can think of a few earlier songs, like "Squeezebox" (The Who), that are rather more elaborate, but I am trying to keep an open mind. What are the best (defined on main page as "the cleverest, filthiest, most sustained" -- but really, I'm most after subversive slyness and hilarity) from days gone by, or current stuff? My main interest is in post-WWII, esp. rock and blues; popular songs preferred.

Clumsy and awful, as points of contrast, would hardly be unwelcome.

Thanks!

P.S. I assumed this has been asked before, but the only general inquiries I could find had to do with bad and creepy songs, which aren't my main . . . err, thrust.

Would something like She bop qualify?
It may be obvious, but I was an oblivious adolescent because I did not get it when it was released.

And Squeezebox is about an accordian. Really.right?

Not new but...

ZZ Top - Almost every song has some innuendo there. Tube Snake Boogie, Pearl Necklace.

AC DC - They seem to have an abnormal infatuation with balls.

Dirty World by the Traveling Wilburys is sort of a goof on the whole concept of a song full of wry sexual innuendo.

Well, it might not be terribly modern, but if you want innuendo then look no further than Kenneth Williams' songs. No other man I've heard is able to imbue words that don't actually mean anything with such suggestiveness.

And when it came out, it went drip, drip, drip,
I didn't know she had the G.I. Joe, kung-foo grip!

Nick Lowe's "Dose of You" and "Switchboard Susan" -- both available on Labour of Lust, one of the single greatest albums of its era, inexplicably out of print -- are both amusingly dirty little ditties ("Now when I look at you girl I get an extension / And I don't mean on Alexander Graham Bell's invention / Switchboard Susan can we be friends / After six and at weekends ").

Most pre Freedom of Choice Devo could be read in the most masturbatory sense possible. Uncontrollable Urge, Jerking Back and Forth, Praying Hands. For filth's sake though i'd say Pink Pussycat is your most sustained naughtiness from Devo.

I like Nickelback's "Figured You Out":

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say "please"
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

and so on.

Some of you people should be stopped. You are ruining my childhood.

Mighty Sparrow also has a song called "Mango Vert." Sample lyrics:
she said if you eat it right the hair won't stick in your teeth
and your bound to say how it tasted sweet, sweet, sweet
but if you eat it wrong don't walk in the street
everybody gonna know when they see the hair in your teeth

I think you can get what's going on there.

When I feel your finger on my trigger,
Happiness is a warm gun
-----------------
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
-----------------
...you can see it you can taste it, and she comes to you light as the breeze. Now you can drink it, or you can nurse it, it don't matter how you worship as long as you're down on your knees. So I knelt there at the Delta at the Alpha, the Omega, at the cradle where the river meets the sees, and like a blessing come from heaven for something like a second I was healed and my heart was at ease.
-----------------
I've never felt so good before This empty place inside of me is filling up I simply cannot get enough I want it, oh, I want it Oh, I want it for my own I've got to know I've got to know What is this place that I have found? What's this‽
-----------------
Sweet little Princess, let me introduce his frogness
You alone can get him singing,
He's all puffed up, wanna be your king
Oh, you can do it, c'mon, c'mon
Lady kiss that frog
-----------------
You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
-----------------
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

How about Sting's "Brand New Day"?

I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm the wave
I'm the plow and you're the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm a flagpole to your nation

(It goes on like that for quite a while.)

HonorShadow above mentions F.*.*.*. by Bloodhoud Gang. I think their song Bad Touch would count, too. Admittedly the chorus is pretty explicit, "You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel", but the verses have some amusing jokes, metaphors, and so on:

Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket

Like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it.

Hieroglyphics? let me be specific I wanna be down in your South Seas

But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means small craft advisory

So if I capsize on your thighs high tide, b5 you sunk my battleship

Please turn me on I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip.

Garth Brooks' "Two of a Kind Workin' On a Full House" contains the lewdest lyric in all of country music.

I can't help you with filthy or sustained.

"Fido, your leash is too long" from 69 love songs (The Magnetic Fields):

Fido, your leash is too long You go where you don't belong
You've been diggin in the rubble getting bitches in trouble
Fido, your leash is too long Fido your leash is too long
I don't know where I went wrong You scare me out of my wits
when you do that Shitzu Fido, your leash is too long
Fido, you've gone far enough I must have all of your love
You've just run out of luck I don't care what you foxhounds do
but your leash is too long

How about "Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits":

If you knew how I long for you now that you're gone
you'd grow wings and fly home to me home tonight
and in the morning sun (C): let's pretend we're
bunny rabbits Let's do it all day long Let abbots,
Babbits and Cabots say Mother Nature's wrong
and when we've had a coupla beers we'll put on
bunny suits I long to nibble your ears and do
as bunnies do Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits
Let's do it all day long rapidly becoming rabid
singing little rabbit songs I can keep it up all night
I can keep it up all day Let's pretend we're bunny
rabbits until we pass away Let's pretend we're
bunny rabbits until we pass away

Sondheim's I Never Do Anything Twice" is definitely clever, dirty and sustained. Here's a sample:

And then there was the abbot
Who worshipped at my feet
Who dressed me in a wimple and in veils
He made a proposition which
I found rather sweet
And handed me a hammer and some nails

In time we lay contented
And he began again
By fingering the beads around our waists
I whispered to him then
We'll have to say amen
For I had developed more catholic tastes

And here's the rest.

Hawksley Workman has a few:

Striptease is obvious, but the line All the ways my mother taught me how makes up for it.
Jealous of Your Cigarette is also a bit obvious, but good.
Tarantulove is the beautiful love between man & arachnid. Bad quality, not a single, sorry

Porcupine Tree's Gravity Eyelids has let my salt flow, feel my coil unwind. As well, Piano Lessons has a teacher telling her student you're better off in bed, which I didn't realize could be taken sexually for years.

Presidents of the United States of America has Kitty.

Repo! The Genetic Opera's closing credit song has Into a Bug a Needle.

J. J. Cale's Humdinger:

Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
She rolls it `round her tongue like a natural thing
She makes me feel like I`m a natural king

She got lips around me, painted red
She close her eyes when she rolls her head
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger

I always liked this one, but I don't know if it rates very high on the scale compared to some of the above.

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm OK alone but you've got something I need, well

{Refrain}
I've got a brand new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and
Try them on to see
I been lookin' around awhile
You got something for me
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world
Some people say I done all right for a girl

I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm OK alone but you got something I need, well

{Refrain}

cleverest, filthiest, most sustained

Old-school Red Hot Chili Peppers is a great example of this, especially Blood Sugar Sex Magik and before (although it doesn't satisfy your "innuendo" stipulation very well).

Case in point: Sir Psycho Sexy
I got stopped by a lady cop
In my automobile
She said get out and spead your legs
And then she tried to cop a feel
That cop she was all dressed in blue
Was she pretty? Boy I'm tellin' you
She stuck my butt with her big black stick
I said "what's up?" now suck my dick
Like a ram getting ready to jam the lamb
She whimpered just a little when she felt my hand
On her crotch so very warm
I could feel her getting wet through her uniform
Proppin' her up on the black and white
Unzipped and slipped "ooo that's tight"
I swatted her like no swat team can
Turned a cherry pie right into jam

Soul Asylum - Put the Bone In

Put the bone in
She yelled at the store
'Cause my doggie's been hit by a car
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in
She yelled out once more
Because the meat from the pork is so sweet
And the bone from the pork give to me
Put the bone in she begged him
As she paced across the floor
Put the bone in she yelled out once more

Put the bone in
She yelled at the store
Cause my doggie's been hit by a car
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in
She yelled out once more ...

additionally, I don't know if it was written with bawdy intent, but i've always found "Honeysuckle Rose" by Fats Waller to cunningly, uh, linguistic:
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

When you're passin' by,
Flowers droop and sigh
I know the reason why
You're much sweeter
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Well, don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
And it's oh so sweet when you stir it up

When I'm takin' sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection
Goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Youre making it hard for me

Youre dancing like youre naked
Oh, its almost like were sexing (oh yeah)

The best double entendre song I have ever heard: CW Stoneking with You Took My Thing & and Put It In Your Place.

Sample lyrics:

Woman: "Yeah, then it went all floppy"

Man: "And you wouldn't give him back"

Woman: "Oh, I love that frill-necked lizard, he was my good old friend"

Man: "All you ever done with him is send him round the bend.
I'm gonna call the cops, I know I got a case
Talking 'bout you took my thing and put it in your place, I mean put it in your place"

Believe it or not, he's actually not a 1920s American blues man. He's a 30-something Australian.

I'm not sure about the legality of that Mp3. CW Stoneking is AWESOME, so please buy his music legally.

'Tipper Gore' by Alice Donut is nothing but double entendres. It was written to poke fun at Tipper Gore's witch hunt of obscenities in rock music.

Passenger by TOOL and DEFTONES. It's somewhat erotic.

Walk This World by Heather Nova. Not comical or all that subtle but it's not explicit either.

Seriously, it's one of the sexiest songs I've ever heard.

Some amazing finds here: thanks so much. I am especially excited by the ones for which a high number of devotees didn't have a clue, like "Sledgehammer."

There must be some genres that remain untapped. For example, those referring, in one way or another, to the virtues of (temporary) self-restraint -- e.g., Sam and Dave, Hold On (I'm Coming) (You talk to me/For satisfaction, oh, hold on/Call my name, oh, call my name yeah for quick reaction/Yeah yeah yeah yeah). [N.B. I am befuddled by the album titled "Waiting For My Rocket to Come," by the seemingly annoyingly earnest Jason Mraz.]

Also, for those interest in mining this vein (heh heh heh), R&B and blues had some incredible songs, like Bo Carter's All Around Man, Banana in Your Fruit Basket, Don't Mash My Digger So Deep, My Pencil Won't Write No More, Please Warm My Weiner . . . Or, for goodness' sake, Keep on Churnin' (Till the Butter Comes). (Note: adapted, and ruined, by the Starlight Vocal Band, semi-filthy purveyors of Afternoon Delight.) But they really do lose on the subtlety front.

But I still didnt hear no dinah-moe humm,

"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" -- Primus

Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver
and she shows it off to all her friends.
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her,
So she caged him up with cyclone fence.

Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said "Recognize that smell?"
"Smells like seven layers,
That beaver eats Taco Bell."

Now Rex he was a Texan out of New Orleans
And he travelled with the carnival shows.
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars
And he candied up his nose.

He got wind of the big brown beaver
So he though he'd take himself a peek,
But the beaver was quick
And grabbed him by the kiwis.
Now he ain't pissed for a week.
(And a half!)

Now Wynona took her big brown beaver,
And she stuck him up in the air.
Said "I sure do love this big brown beaver
And I wish I did have a pair."

Now the beaver onces slept for seven days
And it gave us all an awful fright.
So I tickled his chin and I gave him a pinch
And the bastard tried to bite me.

Wynona loved her big brown beaver
And she stroked him all the time.
She pricked her finger one day and it
Occurred to her she might have a porcupine.

There are a TON of Bob Marley songs (like 'Stir It Up') that might fit this description. Lots of his songs are double (or even triple) entendres.

I also like Conway Twitty's "Don't Call Him a Cowboy":

So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots
Don't tell ya what's inside no
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride

More camp than Double Entendre, but Sugar Daddy from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

When honey bees go shopping
It's something to be seen.
They swarm to wild flowers
And get nectar for the queen.
And every thing you bring me
got me dripping like a honeycomb,
And if you've got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

80's metal is just classic for this.
Warrant's Cherry Pie and the less-known Kix classic Get it while it's hot are my two favorites.

Solar Sex Panel by Little Village.

It's sort of three dimensional piece where John Hiatt makes sexual references, global warming/sustainability references and jokes about his bald spot all at once so that, sometimes, what sounds dirty isn't and, well vice versa.
