Welsh Ace Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 1 minute ago, Just like Jughead said: Isn’t pretty much every song about sex? There are a few that are not; Ace of Spades isn't, I don't think. Nor is House of the Rising Sun. I am pretty sure most Radiohead songs are not about sex, Space Oddity is not sexual. Nor is Starman, Ziggy Stardust. So there are a few of them (unless people tell me suddenly that those are all sexual and my entire life have been a lie) Link to post Share on other sites

biblios Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I still remember loving the song "December '63 (Oh What a Night)" by Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons when I was a kid. Every time it came on the radio I'd crank up the volume, until one day my mom turned it off with a snippish, "That's inappropriate." I was COMPLETELY bewildered until she explained it was about a hookup. I'd just thought it was about two people dancing. Link to post Share on other sites

Falcon7 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Too obvious for non-Ace but 'Lay Lady Lay' Bob Dylan When I was a kid I thought this song somewhat funny, like 'Le, le, le,le, le...' 'The think of England' Bear's Den Liked the melody so was shocked to know the meaning later. It's nothing to do with a history of England (I thought so, at first) Link to post Share on other sites
rhwrd Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Sooo, when I was in kindergarden, like the last few months of it before starting school, there was a new song called "Boom, boom, boom, boom!" with that very catchy rhythm. As someone from Germany, I was not learning English language until second grade in school, so my best kindergarten friend and I would always sing that 'boom, boom, boom, boom' line and the wrong text we understood for the rest of it. She was introduced to the song by her older siblings originally and showed it to me then. In 2017, 18 years later, I stumbled across the song again on YouTube and hell, I was surprised that it was a super sexual song actually. What a good thing we didn't understand English back then, phew. I kinda like it though, memories. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xMP-JqFQ_l4 Link to post Share on other sites

rhwrd Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Oh, haha, no but Vengaboys clearly ripped off the lyric line or (un)intentionally referred to this song, it seems. It reminds me of Modern Talking though, if anyone knows them. xD Link to post Share on other sites

"Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga "Pokeface" by Lady Gaga was my absolute jam until my friend told me what it was about - I thought it was about protecting who you are from people and proving them wrong about you or something empowering like that. "The Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani - my favourite song because I thought it was about forgiveness - which it was but not in the way I thought "chandelier" by Sia - thought this was empowering too, I was so wrong! "only when I sleep" by the Corrs - grew up listening to this song and it was only recently I realised what it was about all this time Chandelier?? Nooooooo I don't want to believe it Link to post Share on other sites
Ortac Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 There is only one song in the entire universe that I know of which is about sex: If there are any other songs which are about sex, then I didn't know that they were about sex! Link to post Share on other sites
nate-1234 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Pillow Talk that is until I saw the music video and even after that I was still a little unsure. It was so artsy... Oh and about a quarter of the Christmas songs. Link to post Share on other sites
will123 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 This took seeing the video on TV tonight to make me remember an incredibly ace moment on my part. When the song came out in the 80s, I had no idea it was about sex, Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Link to post Share on other sites
WobblyWallaby Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I recently realized that Cyndi Lauper's She-bop is about masturbation...of course once I realized it I felt like a complete fool because the lyrics make it obvious Link to post Share on other sites

ryn2 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 My number one goal as a tween/teen was rebelling against the goody-two-shoes false impression my mother had of me so I was always super-pleased to realize songs were about sex and drugs. I rarely miss a double-entendre or innuendo, but I’ve always seen that as a combination of facility with words and (lack of) naiveté rather than something related to my sexuality or gender. Of course, when I was a tween/teen I still thought I was going to be super into sex (hey, it was the ultimate thing I wasn’t supposed to do). It wasn’t until I started actually trying it that... yeah. So didn’t measure up. So, no songs to add I guess. I just assume they are about sex. Link to post Share on other sites
Kitteη χ Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I listen almost exclusively to metal and prog, which don't have as many sexual references as some other genres. Or maybe I'm just REALLY oblivious. The only song I can think of that would really fit this topic would be Bounce by System of a Down, which apparently describes an orgy. And here I thought it was actually about bouncing on a pogo stick. Link to post Share on other sites

Also it came out the year I was born so by the time I heard it, the controversy had died down. Link to post Share on other sites

Strega_Asessuale Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Oh man, for the longest time I could not identify a song about sex unless it was really explicit. One notable example was "Addicted" by Kelly Clarkson. I thought the line "it's like I can't breathe without you inside of me" was about...um...in retrospect, I don't know what I thought it was about.

Sometimes their lyrics are extended metaphors, and sometimes they have lyrics about "wooden farts" or being "the meat in the pie". Link to post Share on other sites

The lyrics and accompanying 'act' to the song The Musical Box is a bit pervy. Link to post Share on other sites
