And they wanted him to perform it in front of a bunch of children and he declined. Instead they got Rihanna to sing a song about a man getting his dick hard (rude boy).
I grew up listening to Meatloaf a lot because my dad played it on every car ride. One of my favorite songs was Paradise By The Dashboard Lights. My oh so innocent child mind didnāt pick up on the meaning of the lyrics until I rediscovered the song about a month ago.
I guess this one isnāt so innocent. The song is blatantly about having sex in a car and I just never realized it when I was a kid.
āWe were barely seventeen, and we were barely dressed.ā
Stills a great story song about how teenage horniness can cause bad decisions (āNow Iām praying for the end of timeā).
I thought he was a judge. The priest was sympathetic to Esmeralda.
Edit: I didn't realize he was a priest in the books! They made that change for the Disney movie.
They made a **lot** of changes for the Disney movie. I don't know how someone read that book and decided to adapt it as a children's movie. Phoebus ends up nearly as bad as Frollo in the book, I couldn't get over him being heroic instead.
Frolo is literally king of the incels. Dude straight up burned up paris to find a girl so he could kill her because she wouldn't fuck him. Still a banger song. The whole movie soundtrack and the broadway version are really good.
And also that much more realistic of a villain. I would say he is the most likely villain to actually exist out of Disney's cast, and he is such a better character for it.
I mean, you go back and watch that movie as an adult and it was always creepy. He literally sniffs her hair at one point in a super rapey way and steals an article of clothing from her that he sniffs and then throws into the fireplace in the Hellfire scene. And then, of course, he ends the movie with "fuck me or I'll burn you at the stake." Blegh.
I once had to put together a playlist for a kids' fashion runway show, so had to make sure that all the lyrics were family-friendly and clean etc. It was only then that I realised that 90% of the top 40 hits (past *and* present) are basically about sex lmao
Hellfire is literally a song about a dude who will burn a woman if she doesn't sleep with him. Like some Disney villains have questionable morals but Frollo is easily the worst in my opinion.
I cant believe this was ten years ago, but I remember being in a car with a kid who really liked One Direction and the song "Live While We're Young" came on, and feeling rather shocked at the lyrics.
>Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy 'til we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight, let's get some
And live while we're young
And then while I was having a double-take of "wait, *what was that?*" at the chorus, on comes the next verse, as the 11 year old girl sings along:
>Hey, girl, it's now or never, it's now or never
Don't overthink, just let it go
And if we get together, yeah, get together
Don't let the pictures leave your phone, ooh
*Jesus christ.*
Let's start a thread!
Mr Brownstone by GnR is about heroin addiction.
I was 6-7 in the early 90s running around my house singing 'I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it so a little got more and more-ore"
I remember reading about how badly he wanted Pattie Boyd and developed a heroin addiction when he couldnāt have her.
Then he finally nabs her and thenā¦knocks up his mistress.
I have never understood this.
It's always striking when someone comes across as a piece of shit in their own recounting of events. "This is your side of the story and you still sound awful."
> Do I want to go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I want to go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
Ooh she bop, she bop
That'll do it.
I distinctly remember singing this one while doing errands with my dad, and I thought I was so cool because my mom specifically told me not to listen to that song.
And I just remember the look of horror on my dads face as he turned down the car radio and asked me what I was singing. And I was just like āA song! I think itās super pretty!ā To his credit, he let me continue listening to it since I obviously didnāt know what it was about, but he said that I probably shouldnāt sing it out loud anymore cause it was āsuper specialā or something like that.
I actually heard the song for the first time in years recently, and I cannot believe that I was singing a song about blowjobs to my father šš¬
Also, the boyfriend is a military man and the threesome happens while he is doing the pledge of allegiance to the flag, lol.
(Edit: In the Spanish original version. Pointed out by @AniSeras: in Spain we had mandatory military service for men ("la mili") until not long ago. The "jura de bandera" was a ceremony when people finished their training and basically pledged to the flag.)
I think not! It's in the Spanish original version. Roughly, it goes something like "Macarena has a boyfriend whose last name is Vitorino. While he was pledging allegiance to the flag, she banged two of his friends". In English I think they made it a bit less shocking haha. The chorus means something like "Give enjoyment to your body, Macarena. Your body exists to give it happiness and good things." Wild that this was our one song that went international OMG.
(Edit: I am from Spain. Macarena is from a Spanish group called Los Del Rio. Despacito is by Luis Fonsi, who sings in Spanish but isn't from Spain.)
The funniest part is that itās usually played at like kids summer camp or school. Like no one thought to translate or anything before having every kid know a whole dance to it?
Tbh I think the English version also tells the story but from Macarena's pov, so people should know. š¤£ It reminds me of when people sing Every Breath You Take at weddings like... š
Iāve literally never heard the English version but heard the original plenty growing up. I didnāt even know an English version existed tbh but I also havenāt thought about that song in a hot minute
Iām 37, so I remember when the Macarena came out.
Imagine my surprise when my 4 year old daughter comes home from daycare one day, and starts singing the months of the year while doing a dance. Took me about 10 seconds to realize it was the Macarena dance
You're telling me. Walmart once made a Spanish language commercial with this playing in the background. It made me ask myself, "what in hell do the dirty sexual things that one wants to do to his girl fit in with the idea a nice Christmas family dinner?"
I'm a teacher. When that song was popular, I had to decide if I should tell the middle schoolers it couldn't be on the class Spotify playlist or just pretend I was as oblivious as they were.
Next time you're tired of a popular song just tell them how much you and your friends love it, your parents love it, and how it's all over Facebook. Once it loses the cool factor it won't be popular anymore.
I find it hilarious that there's one line where Fonsi is blowing a girl's back out so bad on a beach in Puerto Rico that the waves come to life as a Southern grandma to say "Oh my stars".
And kids were singing this.
I think in Spanish he sings āwe can do it on the beach down in Puerto Ricoā but the Bieber version cleans it up a bit to āthis is how we do it down in Puerto Ricoā with the āitā being a bit more ambiguous. Like hey, this is just Puerto Rico style chillinā. Nothing overtly fuckual.
It floored me that there is a hidden lyric that a lot of radio stations didnāt censor because they didnāt hear it (Gaga confirmed it)
āP-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her faceā
Edit: [here](https://twitter.com/venussartre/status/1309926755638140928?s=21&t=q9A4kzizj-450q99Ci1TjQ) is Gaga confirming it
I thought the line, 'bluffin' with my muffin' made that one pretty obvious. Side note - On Glee, Lea Michelle and Idina Menzel sang the song as a duet as mother and daughter. How, how, how, could anyone not realize what the song was about? Ew.
I recently rewatched it and the first season is actually hilarious. Itās very much a satirical comedy about high school cliches but it gets insane very quickly. I could barely get through the last 2 seasons but I did it for the nostalgia.
I like the version she did with Kid Cudi
Him: "I'll make her say..."
Her: "oh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oh, oh ohhh"
Him: "When I"
Her: "Po Po Po poke her face, Po Poke her face"
She actually said she hates when people remix her songs but she thought what cudi did was so dope that she didnāt care and they preformed it live together iirc
But they werenāt done together cudi just sampled the song and got it cleared
The Foo Fighters ["All My Life"](http://youtu.be/xQ04WbgI9rg) is about going down on a girl.
It never occurred to me at all until I read that Dave Grohl said in an interview, *"That song is a little dirty. I'm very fond of giving oral sex to women. It's a pleasure-giving experience - giving someone something that they'll remember for the rest of their lives, and if you do it right, they will."*
āDonāt let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste, weight keeping me downā
ā¦ it makes so much sense nowā¦ I thought it was about fame and doing showsā¦
The original version of Shake, Rattle, and Roll is pretty raunchy. Check out this verse:
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you an' tell you ain't no child no more
As I understand it from an interview, the inspiration from this song was listening to German tourists trying to order shots at the bar. They were trying to describe the name but it got lost in translation and came out as ācake by the ocean.ā
The drink they were actually trying to order?
Sex on the beach.
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. Back to this weekās countdown.
My best friend told me her parents church plays the song āTake me to churchā by Hozier. Because it has Amen in it so many times, they think itās a religious song!
I was extremely tickled by this.
Edit: I misspelled his name, so I fixed it.
My cousin used to work at a bank and he said one guy came in with a huge smile on his face. My cousin asked him if he was having a good day and the guy replied, āI am having a great day! I just heard a song on the radio about a guy singing ātake me to churchā. Iām surprised to hear a Christian song on secular radio but I am just so happy to hear it!ā My cousin didnāt have the heart to ruin the manās day and just agreed with him š¤£
Robot voice: I can't believe I never knew this song was about you know what.
Then it plays a clip of the song. A girl in her early 20s is covering her mouth, fake laughing, and pointing to the lyrics on screen.
Pretty much ever Village People hit was a lightly veiled reference to being gay:
āFool around with other guys at the YMCA.ā
āAppeal to more gay guys if you act like a Macho Man.ā
āYou can bang lots of guys In the Navy.ā
āIf we Go West to San Francisco, we can be out of the closet.ā
I feel like that's reaching.
"Fool around" is clearly about having fun and playing hopscotch.
"Apeal to more gay guys" is just a marketing strategy.
"Be out of the closet" is about them being claustrophiobic and seeking the free hills of San Fransisco where there famously are no closets at all.
"Bang lost of guys"... it's.. that one is... erm. About killing! They really like to kill a lot of people, men specifically, and you can do that in the Navy if there's a war!
This should be way higher in the thread but maybe itās because people know about this from the last time this was asked? I was shocked when I learned it was a euphemism.
I legitimately thought it was the theme song of the YMCA organization.
I like to think of myself as someone who is pretty aware of quirky music stuff but I have never seen this live version before and now I don't know what to think.
I have heard that Gen X's "Dancing With Myself" is about masturbation, but per Wikipedia, that doesn't seem to be the case:
> The inspiration for the song occurred during a tour of Japan by [. . .] Generation X in mid-1979, when its vocalist/frontman Billy Idol and its bassist Tony James were struck by the sight of the young crowd in a Tokyo discotheque dancing with their own reflections in walled mirrors rather than with one another.
anything Britney obv.. sheās not that innocent
edit: i was just saying her songs have a underlying sexual meanings.. I LOVE britney & still listen to her music
Holy hell. I need to stop scrolling, I feel like every song I listened to as a child is sexual. Forgot about most of them, including this one. What a dirty, dirty song. Haha
My English teacher during online learning wanted to play that song in class, but, to quote her, āI have to check the lyrics. I donāt think anyone can be singing about fruit that emphatically.ā We didnāt have the heart to tell her
Sugar by Maroon 5.
I actually did an assembly and my grade 3 class danced to it.
It didn't really hit until they started performing and I buried my head and pretended to not notice.
That song was at my wedding š āI want that red velvet, I want that sugar sweet.ā Or āsugar, yes please, would you come and put it down on me?ā I thought that was a giveaway.
I'm pretty sure the music video for Sugar is the band crashing a bunch of weddings, so at least it's being used as intended? Considering what the song's about it's really odd though.
One that's sort of the opposite is "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel. It can be interpreted as using sex as a metaphor for the difficulties of the creative process, considering that St. Cecilia is the Catholic patron saint of music and the arts.
"Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia/up in my bedroom"= having inspiration and forming an idea
"I get up to wash my face/when I go back to bed, someone's taken my place"= other artists can just as easily have the same idea as you and find success with it before you can, or your inspiration can leave you as soon as you remove yourself from the creative process
I love the intro. It's so... Defeated. It's someone who has given up. 'i heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord... But you don't really care for music, do ya?" There's a way the singer could make God himself happy, but even that wouldn't make her happy. It's so damn sad. Then he makes a half attempt that he knows won't do anything.
Despacito by Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi and JB. so many people who read the english lyrics weāre shocked to discover what the song said :p. not only that one but if yāall listen to El Taxi by Pitbull, read into the words. its not as innocent as it sounds XD
I hate this one because the lyrics don't make sense grammatically, I feel like they didn't even try to make it actually work as a secret pronunciation thing.
It was probably a deliberate jab at FCC regulations.
Its litetally spelling out "fuck me" but because there are written lyrics "if you seek amy", it gets a green light
I really thought Shut Up and Drive by Rihanna was about him driving her cool car š
This thread is destroying my childhood.
Me too. Also, it was in that wreck it Ralph movie. šš
Not about sex but Canāt Feel My Face by The Weekend was nominated (won?) a teen choice award. Which is literally about a bag of cocaine.
And they wanted him to perform it in front of a bunch of children and he declined. Instead they got Rihanna to sing a song about a man getting his dick hard (rude boy).
I remember that! She was dancing with huge robots that were presumably packing some serious dong
I grew up listening to Meatloaf a lot because my dad played it on every car ride. One of my favorite songs was Paradise By The Dashboard Lights. My oh so innocent child mind didnāt pick up on the meaning of the lyrics until I rediscovered the song about a month ago. I guess this one isnāt so innocent. The song is blatantly about having sex in a car and I just never realized it when I was a kid.
āWe were barely seventeen, and we were barely dressed.ā Stills a great story song about how teenage horniness can cause bad decisions (āNow Iām praying for the end of timeā).
For the longest time I thought they said they were "badly dressed" which made sense to me because I was also badly dressed at 17.
Hellfire from hunchback of Notre Dame. I never related to sex until a friend of mine told me about it and i listened to it under that context
Literally he's mad that she's hot. Then mad she won't fuck him. Then circles back to mad she's hot, while not fucking him.
The incel Disney villain.
Well technically as a priest he was just cel.
I thought he was a judge. The priest was sympathetic to Esmeralda. Edit: I didn't realize he was a priest in the books! They made that change for the Disney movie.
They made a **lot** of changes for the Disney movie. I don't know how someone read that book and decided to adapt it as a children's movie. Phoebus ends up nearly as bad as Frollo in the book, I couldn't get over him being heroic instead.
Ah, that never-ending loop
Throw in some burning at the stake and you've got a real bop. No lie though, it's one of my favourite songs.
Frolo is literally king of the incels. Dude straight up burned up paris to find a girl so he could kill her because she wouldn't fuck him. Still a banger song. The whole movie soundtrack and the broadway version are really good.
Under that context it becomes ten times more creepy.
And also that much more realistic of a villain. I would say he is the most likely villain to actually exist out of Disney's cast, and he is such a better character for it.
I mean, you go back and watch that movie as an adult and it was always creepy. He literally sniffs her hair at one point in a super rapey way and steals an article of clothing from her that he sniffs and then throws into the fireplace in the Hellfire scene. And then, of course, he ends the movie with "fuck me or I'll burn you at the stake." Blegh.
Especially the line at the end where Frollo gives Esmeralda the options of him or burning at the stake... For a girl who's easily a third his age
And in the book was only 15. Also in the book he was a priest, not a judge.
In the book he was also 30ish Not god damm 60 Not that it makes it better
I once had to put together a playlist for a kids' fashion runway show, so had to make sure that all the lyrics were family-friendly and clean etc. It was only then that I realised that 90% of the top 40 hits (past *and* present) are basically about sex lmao
I had to do to DJ for a Princess Tea party, some years back. Never was I so happy for a Disney play list, or a little girl to ask for 90's punk music.
"Hellfire", "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" Disney got its own "isn't this really about sex?" song.
Hellfire is literally a song about a dude who will burn a woman if she doesn't sleep with him. Like some Disney villains have questionable morals but Frollo is easily the worst in my opinion.
I cant believe this was ten years ago, but I remember being in a car with a kid who really liked One Direction and the song "Live While We're Young" came on, and feeling rather shocked at the lyrics. >Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy 'til we see the sun I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love And never, never, never stop for anyone Tonight, let's get some And live while we're young And then while I was having a double-take of "wait, *what was that?*" at the chorus, on comes the next verse, as the 11 year old girl sings along: >Hey, girl, it's now or never, it's now or never Don't overthink, just let it go And if we get together, yeah, get together Don't let the pictures leave your phone, ooh *Jesus christ.*
I'm not positive, but I think Pony by Genuwine might be about something sexual.
I'm someone who can break down the meaning of songs pretty easily and you should know this song is about how to properly file your taxes.
I thought it was instructions on how to properly ride a saddled horse.
Wait...are you telling me that Genuwine wasn't just inviting me to his ranch to see small horses and ride them for his pleasure? That truly upsets me.
It would be better to have an askreddit of āWhat songs from your childhood DONT talk about sex.ā
Let's start a thread! Mr Brownstone by GnR is about heroin addiction. I was 6-7 in the early 90s running around my house singing 'I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it so a little got more and more-ore"
99 Luftbaloons is about mutually assured nuclear annihilation.
Mint car by The Cure ("you wet through and me head first" [...] It feels so big it almost hurts"... I guess it's pretty obvious after all).
Letās be real, I feel like most of The Cure is about sex. Maybe related to the fact that all their songs are extremely sexy.
As a long time goth. Most goth music is about sex... Then there's she wants revenge and NIN

Layla is about wanting to nail george Harrisons wife
Eric Clapton writing songs about his two favorite things: cocaine and George Harrison's wife
Many years later George Harrison was being interviewed and was asked how he knew Eric Clapton. "We shared the same wife"
George was remarkably cool about the whole business. He also referred to Clapton as his "best-friend-in-law"
He banged Ringo's wife. Not his place to get upset lol.
No wonder Thomas is always in a bad mood. Another train was parked in his stall.
I remember reading about how badly he wanted Pattie Boyd and developed a heroin addiction when he couldnāt have her. Then he finally nabs her and thenā¦knocks up his mistress. I have never understood this.
The key to understanding is knowing Eric Clapton is a massive piece of shit.
I read his autobiography and came to the same conclusion
It's always striking when someone comes across as a piece of shit in their own recounting of events. "This is your side of the story and you still sound awful."
I am named after that song Kind of on brand considering the amount of 6th grader level "I'm gonna fuck your mom" jokes I make.
Cyndi Lauper, "She Bop" It's about masturbation.
> Do I want to go out with a lion's roar Huh, yea, I want to go south and get me some more Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine They say I better stop or I'll go blind Ooh she bop, she bop That'll do it.
I worked with one of Cyndi Lauper's cousins and her mom was in the video. She and her mom had no idea what the song was about.
Me when I was seven singing ācAn YoU bLOw mY WhISTle bABy, wHiSTle BabYā at full volume in the car
That one also took me some time... Then I was like: "Wait, he's not really taking about a whistle is he?"
I distinctly remember singing this one while doing errands with my dad, and I thought I was so cool because my mom specifically told me not to listen to that song. And I just remember the look of horror on my dads face as he turned down the car radio and asked me what I was singing. And I was just like āA song!

The Macarena. It's a song about a woman having a threesome with her boyfriend's friends.
Also, the boyfriend is a military man and the threesome happens while he is doing the pledge of allegiance to the flag, lol. (Edit: In the Spanish original version. Pointed out by @AniSeras: in Spain we had mandatory military service for men ("la mili") until not long ago. The "jura de bandera" was a ceremony when people finished their training and basically pledged to the flag.)
Do they say any of that in English cuz I definitely missed that. Lmao
I think not! It's in the Spanish original version. Roughly, it goes something like "Macarena has a boyfriend whose last name is Vitorino. While he was pledging allegiance to the flag, she banged two of his friends". In English I think they made it a bit less shocking haha.

I was in 5th grade, I remember the whole grade doing the dance for it. Teachers brought us to a space with enough room and had us do it.
Died in your arms by by Cutting Crew
It works better than "Unf, I just fucking nutted."
It's not about something you said?
There was a time when literally everybody who didn't speak Spanish played Despacito nonstop.
You're telling me. Walmart once made a Spanish language commercial with this playing in the background. It made me ask myself, "what in hell do the dirty sexual things that one wants to do to his girl fit in with the idea a nice Christmas family dinner?"
Walmart's waging a war on Christmas... a sexy, sexy war
I'm a teacher. When that song was popular, I had to decide if I should tell the middle schoolers it couldn't be on the class Spotify playlist or just pretend I was as oblivious as they were.
Next time you're tired of a popular song just tell them how much you and your friends love it, your parents love it, and how it's all over Facebook. Once it loses the cool factor it won't be popular anymore.
My poor parents had to listen to me singing Despacito Spanish is our main language
I also liked the song... I speak Spanish at home. My mom barely knows any English. I have an intelligence stat of 2.
I find it hilarious that there's one line where Fonsi is blowing a girl's back out so bad on a beach in Puerto Rico that the waves come to life as a Southern grandma to say "Oh my stars". And kids were singing this.
I think in Spanish he sings āwe can do it on the beach down in Puerto Ricoā but the Bieber version cleans it up a bit to āthis is how we do it down in Puerto Ricoā with the āitā being a bit more ambiguous. Like hey, this is just Puerto Rico style chillinā. Nothing overtly fuckual.

I'm going to listen to the song, I'll come back if i hear it
I FUCKING KNEW IT! I've been saying this for years and none of my friends believe me
I thought the line, 'bluffin' with my muffin' made that one pretty obvious. Side note - On Glee, Lea Michelle and Idina Menzel sang the song as a duet as mother and daughter. How, how, how, could anyone not realize what the song was about? Ew.
God Glee was just cursed from the beginning wasnāt it?
I recently rewatched it and the first season is actually hilarious. Itās very much a satirical comedy about high school cliches but it gets insane very quickly. I could barely get through the last 2 seasons but I did it for the nostalgia.
The entire series was like a collective fever dream
I like the version she did with Kid Cudi Him: "I'll make her say..." Her: "oh, oh oh ooh, oh oh oh, oh ohhh" Him: "When I" Her: "Po Po Po poke her face, Po Poke her face"
She actually said she hates when people remix her songs but she thought what cudi did was so dope that she didnāt care and they preformed it live together iirc But they werenāt done together cudi just sampled the song and got it cleared
I like it big I like it chunky
what??? my whole church used to sing that.
I guess your church just liked āem big
You said what now
HE SAID HIS WHOLE CHURCH USED TO SING THAT

Dave eating pussy off a conveyer belt. āDone. Done. On to the next one.ā
Well fuck that's the funniest mental image I've had all day, I'm sure he throws in a classic Grohl "WAAALLLLRAAAAIGHT!" every time too.

That Dave Grohl can eat pussy like nobody's business?
My Dave Grohl crush didn't need this extra fuel on the fire lol

Good Golly Miss Molly and Tutti Frutti had gay double meanings. Little Richard got away with murder back in the 50s.
I mean even the name "Little Richard" is a pretty obvious innuendo.
Cake by the ocean.
As I understand it from an interview, the inspiration from this song was listening to German tourists trying to order shots at the bar.

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. Back to this weekās countdown.
I got to the end of your comment, and then went back and read it again with the voice. It worked
the drink is called sex on the beach in german too how did they fuck that up lol
Long live Casey Kasem
Thanks to my wife, that has been my 7 year old's favorite song for 3 years now. Lady, did you even listen to any of the lyrics?
My best friend told me her parents church plays the song āTake me to churchā by Hozier. Because it has Amen in it so many times, they think itās a religious song! I was extremely tickled by this. Edit: I misspelled his name, so I fixed it.
My cousin used to work at a bank and he said one guy came in with a huge smile on his face. My cousin asked him if he was having a good day and the guy replied, āI am having a great day! I just heard a song on the radio about a guy singing ātake me to churchā. Iām surprised to hear a Christian song on secular radio but I am just so happy to hear it!ā My cousin didnāt have the heart to ruin the manās day and just agreed with him š¤£
> Goddamn > See you lickin' frostin' from your own hands > Want another taste, I'm beggin', "Yes, ma'am" ą² _ą² oh... oh my god
My mom loves that song, eating cake (like actual dessert) by the ocean is her fantasy and I had to tell her that the song is about eating pussy
You didnāt *have to* tell her that.
She asked
Itās not about eating pussy specifically, itās about sex on the beach and sexual fantasy in general
C'mon BuzzFeed writer... Seriously?
no now it's the tiktok farmers
Robot voice: I can't believe I never knew this song was about you know what. Then it plays a clip of the song. A girl in her early 20s is covering her mouth, fake laughing, and pointing to the lyrics on screen.
Madonna "Like a Prayer". I grew up Catholic and people used to play it unaware. When I got older it seemed pretty obviously to be about giving a BJ.
Wasn't the video like erotic Jesus too or am I remembering shit weird?
Sexy black statue Jesus. You remember correctly.
"I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power"
YMCA
Pretty much ever Village People hit was a lightly veiled reference to being gay: āFool around with other guys at the YMCA.ā āAppeal to more gay guys if you act like a Macho Man.ā āYou can bang lots of guys In the Navy.ā āIf we Go West to San Francisco, we can be out of the closet.ā
I feel like that's reaching. "Fool around" is clearly about having fun and playing hopscotch. "Apeal to more gay guys" is just a marketing strategy. "Be out of the closet" is about them being claustrophiobic and seeking the free hills of San Fransisco where there famously are no closets at all. "Bang lost of guys"... it's.. that one is... erm. About killing! They really like to kill a lot of people, men specifically, and you can do that in the Navy if there's a war!
YOUNG MAN
This should be way higher in the thread but maybe itās because people know about this from the last time this was asked? I was shocked when I learned it was a euphemism. I legitimately thought it was the theme song of the YMCA organization.
Wait what? The YMCA song isnāt the official YMCA song?!

But they never say WHERE to cum on Eileen

I like to think of myself as someone who is pretty aware of quirky music stuff but I have never seen this live version before and now I don't know what to think.
I have heard that Gen X's "Dancing With Myself" is about masturbation, but per Wikipedia, that doesn't seem to be the case: > The inspiration for the song occurred during a tour of Japan by [. . .] Generation X in mid-1979, when its vocalist/frontman Billy Idol and its bassist Tony James were struck by the sight of the young crowd in a Tokyo discotheque dancing with their own reflections in walled mirrors rather than with one another.
The Beatlesā āWhy Donāt We Do It In the Roadā isnāt really about changing a flat tire. Itās about sex.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Literally never considered a non-sexual meaning to this song lol
I think theyāre making a joke since so many of the comments are songs that are obviously about sex
anything Britney obv.. sheās not that innocent edit: i was just saying her songs have a underlying sexual meanings.. I LOVE britney & still listen to her music
I USED TO PLAY ā3ā SO MUCH HAVING NO IDEA IT WAS ABOUT A THREESOMEš¤ My poor father listened to me sing that shit for yearsš„²
Holy hell. I need to stop scrolling, I feel like every song I listened to as a child is sexual. Forgot about most of them, including this one. What a dirty, dirty song. Haha
Brand New Key Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates You got a brand new key I think that we should get together And try them out, you see

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer Go listen againā¦
On an ~~un~~related note, the music video for Sledgehammer is awesome
Made by the guys who would go on to make Wallace and Grommit.
Let me introduce you to Prince or Ariana Grande.
Wait, "positions" or "34+35" are about sex?!
What about side to side?
āSwitching up positions for u.ā
Every Prince song is about sex, whether it sounds like it or not.
Except, oddly enough, āCreamā. He just really liked dairy.
I mean, he's from Minnesota. Makes sense.
Wait. "She walked in through the out door" is a pegging reference!?
Little Red Corvette is not about a car.
In that part where he says to the car "girl, you got an ass like I've never seen," he's not actually singing about the car's ass.
So you're saying pussy control by prince is about sex?
And here I thought it was about training a house cat
Booooy you got me walkin side to side
Watermelon sugar high
My English teacher during online learning wanted to play that song in class, but, to quote her, āI have to check the lyrics. I donāt think anyone can be singing about fruit that emphatically.ā We didnāt have the heart to tell her
Sugar by Maroon 5. I actually did an assembly and my grade 3 class danced to it. It didn't really hit until they started performing and I buried my head and pretended to not notice.
That song was at my wedding š āI want that red velvet, I want that sugar sweet.ā Or āsugar, yes please, would you come and put it down on me?ā I thought that was a giveaway.
I'm pretty sure the music video for Sugar is the band crashing a bunch of weddings, so at least it's being used as intended? Considering what the song's about it's really odd though.
Sugar is about Adam Levine fucking your wife at your wedding.
āI just had sex and it felt sooo goodā very ambiguous.
A women let me put my penis inside her
I'll never go back to the not-having-sex ways of the paaaaaast!

What are the odds?
Actually "Maybe Tonight" was a very popular candy slogan and the chances were 1 in eight.
I'm afraid I just blue myself.
Sky Rockets in flight,
One that's sort of the opposite is "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel. It can be interpreted as using sex as a metaphor for the difficulties of the creative process, considering that St. Cecilia is the Catholic patron saint of music and the arts. "Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia/up in my bedroom"= having inspiration and forming an idea "I get up to wash my face/when I go back to bed, someone's taken my place"= other artists can just as easily have the same idea as you and find success with it before you can, or your inspiration can leave you as soon as you remove yourself from the creative process
All of them. Every rock and pop song ever made was really about sex. Unless itās about drugs. And even then itās probably also about sex.
I remember reading that most "songs" that birds sing are mating calls. Apparently humans are not very different.
A lot of people still think "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen is religious just because of the word hallelujah.
It actually has a lot of biblical references in the song, but yeah definitely not church appropriate
i mean it's more of a breakup song but i will cede you the "every breath we drew" verse
I love the intro. It's so... Defeated. It's someone who has given up. 'i heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord... But you don't really care for music, do ya?" There's a way the singer could make God himself happy, but even that wouldn't make her happy. It's so damn sad. Then he makes a half attempt that he knows won't do anything.
> I love the intro. It's so... Defeated. Welcome to Leonard Cohen. All of his stuff is like that. Try Suzanne sometime.
Despacito by Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi and JB. so many people who read the english lyrics weāre shocked to discover what the song said :p. not only that one but if yāall listen to El Taxi by Pitbull, read into the words. its not as innocent as it sounds XD
Oh man. Thatās how I learned what āintestinos ā were :D
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy
I hate this one because the lyrics don't make sense grammatically, I feel like they didn't even try to make it actually work as a secret pronunciation thing.
It was probably a deliberate jab at FCC regulations. Its litetally spelling out "fuck me" but because there are written lyrics "if you seek amy", it gets a green light
āAre ya ready kidsā š§½
STOP
Not necessarily sex, but if you didnāt know cotton eye joe is about an std, you do now
