Dirty lyrics that technically aren't
 
I was listening to the oldest version of Shake, Rattle and Roll by Big Joe Turner, when he sang these lyrics.

Quote:

I'm like a one-eyed cat,
peepin' in a sea-food store,
I'm like a one-eyed cat,
peepin' in a sea-food store;
I can look at you,
till you don't love me no more.
Now maybe I just have a dirty mind, but it seems to me that there is a very lewd interpretation of those lines.

Back in the day when there were censors, it was almost a game what artists would try to sneak past them. The Blues was very earthy music, and when it started moving to the mainstream I'm sure some changes were made. Still, a lot of songs had more than one meaning.

C'mon, just listen to ANY ZZ Top song....

Stick out your can,
here come the garbage man.

I'm not the butcher,
and I'm not the butcher's son.
But, I can give you meat,
till the butcher boy comes.

That puts me in mind of:

I have a sad story to tell you
It may hurt your feelings a bit
Last night when I walked into my bathroom
I stepped in a big pile of

(chorus)
Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

I got a girl she lives cross town,
Shes the one that really gets down.
When she boogie,
She do the tube snake boogie.
Well now boogie little baby,
Boogie woogie all night long.

I got a girl she lives on the block,
She kinda funky with her pink and black socks.
She likes to boogie,
She do the tube snake boogie.
Well now boogie woogie baby,
Boogie woogie all night long.

I got a girl, she lives on the hill.
She wont do it but her sister will,
When she boogie,
She do the tube snake boogie.
Well now boogie little baby,
Boogie woogie all night long.
Blow your top blow your top blow your top.

Big Balls by AC/DC
We had a LT when I was stationed in IceLand , he used to arrange these road trips for us , once we were going to Gullfoss http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullfoss
I think , well this LT desided to bring his girl friend along ( nice looking Blond chick ) , wel we had brought along a jam box ( and a half gallon of vodka ) , wwell after a while on the road ( and few shots )
dude with the jam box played Big Balls ,, the LT was NOT happy !!!!!
Damn those were some Long Quiet rides after that !!!

Crimson Ghost 05-22-2007 12:34 AM

Well, he should have known better. Was this LT ROTC? Or a REMF?

You could have a steam train

You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
Ill be anything you need

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
Why dont you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

"I wanna be your back-door man"

Shawnee123 05-22-2007 09:29 AM

"Hey, baby, I'm your telephone man
You just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it you can have a ding-a-ling
Because-a hey baby, I'm your telephone man"

Can you believe that? And then he says:

"Now when other fellas call ya tell 'em how it all began"

Well...can you imagine?

My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while he was a-talking I was thinkin' up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Get it any way you can
Right? Ha ha ha, so...

I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom, and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz, and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was I got a ding-a-ling

A-singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Just-a doin' my thing

Ha, ha...I've never done anything like this before!

The Who - Squeeze Box

Mama's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home he never gets no rest
Cause she's playin' all night
And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
Cause she's playin' all night
And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
She's playin' all night
And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes squeeze me
Come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
Cause she's playin' all night
And the music's all right

Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

Ibram's absolutely on target. It's more difficult to find an unimpeachable song by ZZ Top than it is to find the kind you're looking for. Don't you listen to ZZ Top, richlevy? You should, the **RRROCK!**

This girl is half his age

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes its not so easy
To be the teachers pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, shes waiting
His car is warm and dry

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
Its no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by nabakov

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me

Please. Don't. Stop.

I was lying there thinking bout basketball
Trying not to lose my mind
My baby came to help and I let out a yell,
She grabbed me from behind.
Laying on it some,
Playing with it some
When i, I woke up with wood.

Beauty queens fall in trances,
Debutantes lose their furs.
But it felt so good from where they stood,
They were working on a pile of wood.
Laying on it some,
Playing with it some
When i, I woke up with wood.

Real subtle.

They all call her her puta cause no one really knows her name.
She works the cantina, dancin and a-lovins her trade.
Her mama was mezcan and her daddy was the ace of spades.

Oh, lets drive that old chrysler down to mexico, boy.
Said, keep your hands on the wheel there.
Oh, it sure is fine, aint it?
Now, ya got it! hand me another one of them brews from back there.
Oh, this is gonna be so good.

Mm, shes hot as a pepper but smooth as a mexican brew.
So head for the border and put in an order or two.
The wings of the blackbird will spread like an eagle for you.

Oh, one more time,
Can you roll me another bull durham, please?
Cant you do it with one hand, boy?

This is not the Beatle's species, I'm sure.

She wanna pearl necklace.

She gets a charge out of bein so weird,
Digs gettin downright strange.
But I can keep a handle on anything,
Just this side of deranged.

And I was gettin blown away,
And she held it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:

Shes so cold, as pure as the driven slush.
And thats not jewelry shes talkinabout,
It really dont cost that much.

And she took it in her hand,

Panama - Van Halen

Uh!
Oh yeah!
Ah-huh!

Jump back, what's that sound?
Here she comes, full blast and top down
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Model citizen, zero discipline

Don't ya know she's coming home with me
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her!

Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama

Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the movin' parts clean
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Got an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom

Don't you know she's coming home with me
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her
Uh-oh!

Panama, Panama. Wow!
Panama, Panama oh-oh-oh-oh
Woo!

(Guitar Solo)

Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off
You know what I'm sayin'
Ahh, you reach down put it between my legs n' ease the seat back

She's runnin', I'm flyin'
Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin', power steerin'
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama oh-oh-oh-oh
Panama, Panama oh-oh-oh-oh

Drop Dead Legs - Van Halen (kinda like zztop) most of their songs are technically......

Ow!

Drop dead legs
Pretty smile
Hurts my head
Gets me wild

Dig that steam
Giant butt
Makes me scream
I get a nut nut nuthin
but the shakes over you
(Nothin) Nothin' else could ever do

You know that you want it (Woo!)
I know what you need
You know that you want it (Baby!)
When the night is through
Will I still be lovin' you? (Woo!)

Dig those moves
Vampire
Set me loose
Get it higher

Throw my rope
Loop-de-loop
Nice white teeth; Betty Boop
Play it cool,
Real heavy
I ain't fooled
Get it ready
Ooh, oh baby!

You know that you want it (oh, oh oh)
I know what you need (Ooh!)
You know that you want it (Baby)
When the night is through, (Ow!)
Will I still be lovin' you? (Uh!)

Alabama Song - The Doors (via Bertolt Brecht)

"Show me the way to the next little girl." (apparently originally the lyrics were "pretty boy.")

In retrospect, perhaps those were intentionally dirty.

Traveling Riverside Blues / Lemon Song - LZ

Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze it so hard, I'll fall right out of bed
Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg

Spoken: I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about

Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl
I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed

technically - these are!!!! (all that has been posted)

Whitesnake - Slide it in

You talk too much,
Never saying what's on your mind,
It's written on your face,
An' in the words you hide behind
I know what you want,
I can see what you're looking for,
I know what you want from me,
An' I'm gonna give you more

I'm gonna slide it in
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it, in baby...

Sometimes you seem
Just like a stranger to me,
But, all the games you play
Make it so easy to see
You're looking for love,
Tho' you try to deny,
The things you put me through
Tell me what I've got to do to you

I'm gonna slide it in,
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in...

You talk too much,
Always treating me so unkind,
I know what I've got to do,
To get me some peace of mind

I'm gonna slide it in,
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it in,
Right to the top
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it,
Slide it in, slide it in,
Right to the top, baby...

"Really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree"

Steve Miller Band

Urbane Guerrilla 06-05-2007 05:28 AM

One of several versions of The Woodpecker Song goes something like this, but I should bracket the received material with a first verse and a last verse that I've known for decades:

Tune: Dixie, messed with as needed.

One day I saw a telephone pole
And in that pole was a woodpecker's hole
And I thought
That I ought
To examine it
More closely.


I put my finger in the woodpecker's hole,
And the woodpecker said, "God bless my soul,
Take it out, take it out, take it out,
REMOVE IT!"

I removed my finger from the woodpecker's hole,
And the woodpecker said, "God bless my soul,
Put it back, put it back, put it back,
REPLACE IT!"

[The rhythm gradually speeds, verse by verse. Sing the significant verbs with an obvious hyphen between syllables.]

Other verses:
Replaced/turn it round/REVOLVE IT!
Revolved/turn it back/REVERSE IT!
Reversed/in and out/RECIPROCATE IT!
Reciprocated/speed it up/ACCELERATE IT!
Accelerated /slow it down/RETARD IT!
Retarded/once again/REPEAT IT!
Repeated/twist it ‘round/RE-ARTICULATE IT!
Re-articulated /let it go/RELEASE IT!
Released/pull it out/RETRACT IT!
Retracted/the other hole/RE-ALIGN IT!
Re-aligned/pull it out/REMOVE IT!
Removed/take a whiff/REVOLTING!

Or, alternatively, gradually rallentando from the earlier frenetic pace, and best delivered with a postorgasmic expression on the singer's face:

...Pull it out!/Pull it out!/Pull it out --
I've had it!

nothin else needs to be said

listening as we post

Everybody Wants Some - Van Halen

skysidhe 06-07-2007 08:00 AM

C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside

Sometimes while shopping I hear this song being played. I wonder if it
were more of a modern alternative song there would be a moral outcry
and banned for it's suggestive nature?

oh good 'ole Rod.

Flint 06-07-2007 09:23 AM

suggestive lyrics that technically aren't
 
I met you on Monday, that's my lucky bun day...you know what I mean!

I love you each weekday, each velvety cheek day...you know what I mean!

Shawnee123 06-07-2007 09:45 AM

With a four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door
You know that ain't no shit we'll be getting lots of tit

Go grease lightning you're coasting through the heat lap trial
You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning

With new pistons, plugs, and shocks I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't bragging she's a real pussy wagon


On second thought, those ARE technically dirty. Woohooo!
