I'll start off with a few  ;)

There Will Never Be Another Tonight---Bryan Adams
Short Short Man---20 Fingers (?)
Squeeze Box---The Who
Push It---Salt N' Peppa
Crazy On You---Heart

Crazy on You is less than obvious?

Thunder Island - Jay Ferguson
Paradise by the dashboard light - Meat Loaf

Sweat - Inner Circle

you know the one....

Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat till you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out
I'm gonna push it some, mo-o-ore

Short Short Man---20 Fingers (?)


Depending on what country you are in, that song is called 'Short Dick Man'

Cannonball- The Breeders

(I think it's less than obvious, at least since it's hard to understand part of what they're saying)

Berlin: Sex (I'm a...)
Marvin Gaye: Sexual Healing
Soft Cell: Sex Dwarf
Minimal Man: Sex Teacher*
R. Kelly: Sex Me
Frankie Goes to Hollywood: Relax
T-Rex: Get It On

*unless you were buying industrial records in the '80s, there's no chance you're gonna know this one.

Less than obvious...? ???

Less than obvious...? ???


Of course

For example: Sex (I'm a...) could have been a song about "Seniors Enjoying Xylophones" :D

  No kiddin'?  I never understood what that song was about...

 

2 Live Crew: We Want Some Puussy


No way!  You mean 2 Live Crew wasn't singing about recreational opportunities involving 80s US rail transportation subsidies, nor about the use of gummint cheese as bait for pest control, specifically against rodents?  Damn, those guys were subtle!

In passing, the worstfunniest thing you can do to a DJ, especially at a wedding where the bride is named "Marie", is request Memphis, Tennesee, by the Silicon Teens.  You may only have one chance in your life to apply this knowledge, and if you go for it, you will only get to pull this stunt once.  But it'll be worth it for nothing other than the lulz to be had by seeing everyone at the reception simultaneously vomit all over the floor, exactly two minutes into the song.  Seriously, it'll be like that scene in Family Guy.

Hey, Maxwell took us into obscurantia, the least I could do was take us all to hell.

When I got my used copy of the CD, it was missing some pages.

I found this out when I seen another used copy later.

I'll find the lyrics real quick.

Cannonball:

Check check check
One two

Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell crash
I'm the last splash

I know you little libertine
I know you're a real coocoo

Want you coocoo cannonball
Want you coocoo cannonball
Hey now in the shade, in the shade
Hey now in the shade, in the shade

I know you little libertine
I know you're a cannonball

I'll be your whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song

Hey now in the shade
Hey now in the shade
Want you coocoo cannonball
Want you coocoo cannonball

Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell crash
I'm the last splash

I'll be your whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song

Want you coocoo cannonball
Want you coocoo cannonball
Hey now in the shade, in the shade
Hey now in the shade, in the shade


A note: I actually found out it was a song about sex on an MTV special, it was either One-hit wonders or Alt. rock. They were talking about it sounding like a kid's song, but said it was okay, because it's a kid's song about sex.

It's just the choice of words they use, makes it alittle more unique in the less obvious department. :D

  Like way less obvious dude, that song.  Maybe Howie can figure it out...

  BTW, it's spelled "secs" in the title, which is pretty cool...

  secks.  seks.  Um...sechs.  sects...

These two lines are more clear to me on it after finding out about it:

Hey now in the shade, in the shade

I'll be your whatever you want

There is a third line too, I just don't want to draw more attention to it.

Plus, it's an Alt. rock/pop song, that was out in the early 90s. You know how there a decent of amount spaced out songs at that time(by Nirvana, for example. The Breeders also had abit like that, but I think to a lesser degree).

Come to think of it, the song One Divine Hammer by The Breeders kinda sounds like it's about sex, but that could just be my perverted imagination.


Edit: I also looked up some interpretations of Cannonball... I seen a second look at it that wasn't mentioned on the MTV special, but the song could have both meanings(or 3 or 4).

The Lemon Song - Led Zeppelin


"Squeeze me, babe, 'till the juice runs down my leg
squeeze me, baby, until the juice runs down my leg
The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right outta bed, 'ed, 'ed, bed, yeah!"  :o

Afternoon Delight?  :)
by Starland Vocal Band

I'm Gonna Love You A Little Bit More - Dr Hook
Can't We Talk It Over in Bed - Grayson Hugh

if i said you had a beautiful body - the bellamy brothers

"if i said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me.
if i were dying of thirst would your flowing love COME quench me!"  :o

Turning Japanese - the vapours  ;D
(supposed to be a reference to a mans face as he reaches his peak!)

not sure if this is classed as "less than obvious" :-

Easy - Sugababes

"Engine's running high baby can you come and check it?
Got such a pretty kitty, boy I know you want to pet it
The weather's nice and wet just south of the border
I can cook up anything that you have to order"  :P

Easy - Sugababes


Well, if you're gonna play that, I'll see you and raise you Rihanna's Shut Up And Drive, for which I can't safely translate the verses, but here's a stab at the chorus:

She'll provide you with sexual pleasure, provided that you can figure out the meaning of her lyrics.
Something about motor oil or some other lubricant, perhaps disguised as a comment about soft suspension components.
The line after that has to do with whether or not you know something about breasts.
Then she queries you about your ability to accurately determine if she's rejecting you or just playing coy.
There's a one-liner about stamina next.
Back to that bit about how motor oil changes its viscosity as a function of engine temperature, but this time cleverly disguised as a metaphor about acceleration from a standing start.
Because you've got the correct password, you have been granted superuser access.
Stop programming and just run the executable.

(Hey, I'm a nerd.  Something always crashed before I closed the deal. :)

But a fella can have a lot of fun doing real-time lyrical translations, even if they don't rhyme, and even if the resulting translations aren't safe for work, let alone for this board.  But I'll be damned if it doesn't draw a chuckle either way.

Yar, I was a little unclear on the concept of "less than obvious." 

"Memphis Tennessee" was Daniel Miller covering Chuck Berry's song.  The punchline was supposed to be cute, but the more I learned about Chuck, the more I wondered if it was a punchline at all!

Speaking of Silicon Teens, I'm thinking of the blasphemous rumors about Depeche Mode's "Strangelove."  They tried to say it was about butt secs.  It is not.  There was also a rumor that the name Pet Shop Boys was a reference to bestiality ala Richard Gere.  It is not.
::)

One of my favorites:

Big Joe Turner: Shake Rattle and Roll (C. Calhoun)

Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Well, you get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans

Well, you wear low dresses, the sun comes shining through
Well, you wear low dresses, the sun comes shining through
I can't believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you

I believe to my soul you're a devil in nylon hose
I believe to my soul you're a devil in nylon hose
Well, the harder I work, the faster my money goes

I said, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul

I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you and tell you ain't no child no more

Ah, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul

I said, over the hill and way down underneath
I said, over the hill and way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes, Baby, make me grit my teeth

I said, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul

Of course, the lyrics Big Joe Turner was singing were pretty damn transparent, but in 1954 it was a "Negro record" and whitey didn't worry about selling it or playing it.  It was only a few months later Bill Haley did his version whereupon they altered the lyrics to make them less "suggestive," however,  I find it odd they they changed "I can look at you and tell you ain't no child no more" to "I can look at you 'till you don't love me no more," but they let, uh, stand the first couplet of the rhyme:
"I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store."
