'Jailhouse Rock' appears to describe a homosexual orgy in a prison...

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin and the joint began to swing.
You shouldve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.

Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little joe was blowin on the slide trombone. hmmm
The drummer boy from illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang. hmmm
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
Youre the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me.
eek
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.

The sad sack was a sittin on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin all alone.
The warden said, hey, buddy, dont you be no square.
If you cant find a partner use a wooden chair.
confused
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.

Shifty henry said to bugs, for heavens sake,
No ones lookin, nows our chance to make a break.
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks.
lol
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.

True dat. And I was mainly speaking on The Divinyls song. By then we had heard of many songs about masturbation and the time period wasn't new to suggestive lyris like that.

That song was just so weird tho - I wouldn't necessarily say offensive, but the Divinyls themselves were so unusual and trashy, and being mainly unheard of beforehand, breaking out of australia to tell the world that they touch themsevles. LOOKOUT! I can only imagine the preteens that must so keenly hug themselves while doing karaoke to it, lol.

I'm saying all the things
That I know you like
Making good conversation
I got a handle you just right
You know what I mean

I took you to an intimate restaurant
Then to a suggestive movie
There's nothing left to talk about
Unless it's horizontally

CHORUS:
Lets get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk
Your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

I've been patient I've been good
I've tried to keep my hands on the table
Its getting hard just holding back
You know what I mean

I'm sure you understand my point of view
We know each other mentally
You got to know your bringing out
The animal in me

CHORUS

Physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk
Your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Ooh yeah, physical
Do You hear me
Mmm, yeah, come on
I know you want to get physical

CHORUS x4

I wanna get physical
You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna
authentic power is service- Pope Francis

ABBA -- Honey Honey
http://www.youtube.com/wa...yBQMGikGjc

Honey, honey - how you thrill me, aha, honey honey
honey, honey - nearly kill me, aha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
and now I know what they mean
you're a love machine
(oh, you make me dizzy)


Honey, honey - let me feel it, aha, honey honey
honey, honey - don't conceal it, aha, honey honey
the way that you kiss goodnight
the way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing
when you do your thing


I don't wanna hurt you baby
I don't wanna see you cry
so stay on the ground girl
you better not get too high


but I'm gonna stick to you boy
you'll never get rid of me
there's no other place in this world
where I rather would be

Honey, honey - touch me baby, aha, honey honey
honey, honey - hold me baby, aha, honey honey
you look like a movie star
but I know just who you are
and honey to say the least
you're a doggone beast


So stay on the ground girl
you better not get too high

There's no other place in this world
where I rather would be

Honey, honey - how you thrill me, aha, honey honey
honey, honey - nearly kill me, aha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
and now I know what they mean
you're a love machine
(oh, you make me dizzy)



SIDENOTE: This is one of the freakest songs you will ever find in the ABBA catalog!lol

Soon I'll Be Loving You Again by Marvin Gaye. This was a song from his 1976 classic, I Want You, and this song had Marvin saying things like "give me some head". This was one of the most explicit songs Marvin Gaye ever released toward a mainstream audience. Actually most of the material on the I Want You album was steamy.



Actually, its "I'm gonna give you some head" whistle

Its about going down on a woman for the first time...

nod agree about the album as a whole


biggrin

That song and album are among my all-time favorites. I've been jamming to the Deluxe Edition recently.

Stevie Wonder wrote Rufus' classic hit "Tell Me Something Good," and that certainly was a song with racy lyrics.

Intersting take.

Still, I don't think any of that is racy,,,at least IMO.

OK, it's not X-rated but you seemed surprised someone would associate a Stevie Wonder song with strong seuxal connotations, and Rufus' "Tell Me Something Good" qualifies. The lyrics were more than suggestive, especially for the mid-1970s. Whenever I hear someone sing the lyrics for "Tell Me Something Good" it's usually in the context of someone wanting to have sex.

Yeah, its a bit sexually suggestive but still not racy smile

I mean It was the 70s, and for its time, it was a feel-good gem,,,but not racy.

Considering that "racy" means "somewhat indecent; suggestive" I feel a lot of people would say "Tell Me Something Good" falls in the parameter. Maybe the word you're looking for is "raunchy?"
