This is part two of a discussion about sexy (or not) song lyrics. I was musing in the first post about whether popular music is overwhelmingly about love and/ or sex, and I found a wide array of songs that fit both categories. So here's my second go-around of songs with a decidedly sexual nature.
Let me know what you think. Love 'em? Or hate 'em? What are your faves? And what are your thoughts on sex in music?
Led Zeppelin- The Lemon Song
Squeeze me baby, til the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze me baby, til the juice runs down my leg
The way you squeeze my lemon
I'm gonna fall right out of bed
Yes those are actual lyrics
Justin Timberlake - Sexyback
You see these shackles, baby
I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
Van Halen - Beautiful Girls
Sit down right here
Ooh la la
Think I got it now
Now I'm a seaside sittin just smoking and drinking at ringside
on top of the world
I got a drink in my hand I got my toes in the sand
All I need is a beautiful girl
Runner Ups
Everybody Wants Some
Ice Cream Man
Hot For Teacher
Drop Dead Legs
Maybe just all their songs?
Billy Idol - Cradle of Love
I hear you moan
It's easy, I know how to please me yeah
If you tease me tonight
If you sleaze me all right
If you appease me tonight
And let me ease you
Cradle of love, alright, yeah
Runner Ups
Flesh for Fantasy
Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop
It's our party we can do what we want
It's our party we can say what we want
It's our party we can love who we want
We can kiss who we want
We can see who we want
INXS - New Sensation
Sleep baby sleep
Now that the night is over
And the sun comes
Like a god into our room
All perfect light and promise
I don't actually know that this is about sex but I just like those lyrics
Joan Jett - Do You Wanna Touch
All you do is sit and stare
Begging on my knees
Baby won't you please
Run your fingers through my hair
Rihanna - S & M
Cause I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Halestorm - Love Bites
I slither like a viper
And get you by the neck
I know a thousand ways to help you forget about her
That bitch can eat heart out
Love bites but so do I
Lzzy scared me in this lolol
Great White - Lady Red Light
Deep Purple Knocking at your Back Door
This whole song basically?
Foghat - I Just Wanna Make Love To You
Recently, I've been lessoning to a lot of Joan Jett and seriously she's got some amazing lyrics. I really feel she was ahead of her time. Of course, I like many of the other songs too. But at the moment Joan Jett has given me a whole knew perspective which is totally different from the first time I heard her. I love Led Zepplin. Of course, it's so hard to figure out the lyrics. I really felt most of the songs were actually old blues songs from the past just with a 70ish upgrade. I would really love to hear rustic and acoustic versions of their music in the traditional Black Betty sense.

P.s..I'm a bit under the weather with chills and a cough..hopefully, some of what I wrote makes sense.
DeleteBuenos videos, te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteYou have a way to spice up the mundane life I have lol
ReplyDeleteI love this post. You found all these songs I've loved but haven't heard in ages! Thanks! And you have a great variety of music.
ReplyDeleteLove Bites is one of favorite songs by Halestorm. I haven't listened to The Strange Case Of... in a while, but now I feel like revisiting it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know The Lemon Song existed...😂
ReplyDelete"Love bites but so do I"
LOL...pretty straightforward.
That lemon song...lol. havent heard it
ReplyDeleteI haven’t heard of several of these songs so you’ve left me enlightened! Happy Holidays Greg!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think all of Van Halen's songs could fall in this category. lol Good one by Joan Jett. I remember the video well. The raincoat she opened and flashed her bikini. Funny how that was shocking 40 years ago. Ha.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember seeing that Lady Gaga cover.. it's incredible. So many great songs.
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny how many songs are sexual but you might not realize it at first. The one that sticks out to me is Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteI was just a (naïve) teen but holy cow - how did I not realize what that was about?? lol

I don't catch all the innuendo in songs! We line dance to a lot of popular music -- many of the songs have lyrics with double meanings. Some I can think of off the top of my head: Next ("Shake your cake"), Sax ("Play that sax"); KATCHI ("All katchi all night long"; and Shivers ("Ooh, I love it when you do it like that"). It can be embarrassing sometimes, but the songs are so catchy and fun to dance to. haha
ReplyDeleteIt seems like just about every song has some reference to sex! I remember playing Bad Company's Feel Like Making Love quite often as a teen.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the more subtle references to sex and romance.
ReplyDeleteGreat post...I haven't heard of these songs before.
ReplyDeleteI do love that Justin Timberlake and Miley Cyrus song :)
ReplyDeleteall lovely videos.... thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeleteHappy December
Fun to think about how some of them are about sex but we sometimes sing along without thinking about it. There is a song that my school plays part of every day in the one minute warning to be in class that I keep meaning to look up the lyrics and see if it means different from what it sounds like. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess it's just a topic that concerns everyone...
ReplyDeleteLove Halestorm. Regards.
ReplyDeleteSo many songs make reference to sex, sometimes they are immediately recognisable and others we have to focus on the lyrics because sometimes we get so caught up in the music that we don't realise what we are singing, don't we? Lol
ReplyDeleteI don't want to go off topic, but I really want to wish you a Merry Christmas! *warm hugs*
As a teen I used to think Ginuine's Pony Song meant something else other than what it means. Sex sells, and in my opinion a lot of songs are about love and broken love. Very rarely other topics are covered.
ReplyDeleteYep, a large majority of songs are about sex. Wow, Lady Gaga has a body on her! Love Joan Jett!
